PDM 25 - User guide and firmware update?

Hi folks,


I notice that in Downloads/Software there is a new PDM 15/25/35 manual issued June 25. The new version looks like a significant update to the older version (great), but it references a new software version for the configurator (1.1.7) with additional features, that I cannot find anywhere in the downloads section.


Is there new software with more features that I just can't find?

Hi, we are just getting things in place for the v2 PDM15/25/35 which will be released shortly. The software and firmware is not compatible with the current PDM15/25 model

Variable intermittent wipers

Hi all Trying to configure variable intermittent wipe on my PDM15 My windscreen washer switch is also a potentiometer for intermittent speed. I have this set as an input to my PDM but trying to figure out how to make it vary the intermittant speed is proving a challenge. Anybody done this before? If so any pointers on what I need to do to get the variable voltage from the potentiometer to change my intermittant speed? Cheers Matt

another easier option is changing the potentiometer out with a 4-position rotary switch with three different outputs and have each output of the switch trigger a different input on the pdm. then use those three inputs as your wiper speed triggers. the issue with doing it this way is you will take up two extra input signals.

Voltage Reading and Output Inconsistent

Just finished installing PDM25 system, updated to 1.1.6 via usb beforehand, connected power and ground keypad lite up initially. Connected laptop to PDM, loaded input/output configurations I had made previously. When looking at system information, battery voltage started at 1.68 Volts and slowly went up to 5.61 Volts and never went past that. Measured voltage at input stud and 12v ign switch pin both reading 13v. Ground pin reads no resistance, even added ground direct to battery. Outputs are receiving same voltage, and therefore not powering on. Any ideas?

HI Chris, Can you let me know exactly how you have the groud pin wired and also the ignition input?

Inconsistent voltage drop on start

Utilizing PDM15. Checked all grounds and connections are good, battery has been charged and tested good. We were seeing an inconsistent voltage drop while monitoring battery voltage in the software. This would cause the pdm to power off and interupt startup sequence, sometimes i could get the car to start by holding the key down to start. Some times we saw a dip down to less than 1 volt while monitoring battery voltage in the pdm software. We were also using oscilloscope to do additional monitoring at the post of the pdm. The scope didn't see as big of a drop as the software was reading though (about 6v). Battery and grounds are all 0gauge wiring, and the car has a relatively simple setup. I also verified that we aren't tripping any of the set fuses to cause a shitdown. Anyone have any recommendations as to where we can go…

I can confirm my issue seemed to be related to be my cars stock keyed ignition cylinder that i was using. We switched over to using a toggle switch for 'key on' power and then a push button for starter. After switching to using that setup the issue was resolved.
