I´m a 41 year old electronics engineer that works with root cause analysis at one of the biggest electronic companies in my Sweden , I hope that my knowledge in electronics will help someone here , I have also been a huge fan of Ford cars since 1998.

Be very welcome to our small (but growing) community here! As i am also adicted to electronics (even i'm not an engineer) i guess we have some commons

Are there any special interests of yours? Any projects?

Hi.
The only project for the car is in idle right now , but I had plans to try to build some kind of a translator with elm327 and arduino to see the soot % and dpf % loadings on my IPC , or atleast to make a dpf symbol appear during a regen.
Other non relating project I built in the past is an Arduino controller for my wood burning Furnace to optimize the wood burning / gasification process in an optimal rate , this unit basically measured the exhaust temp by the means of a K Type thermocoupler , this information was then used to control primary and secondary air inlet valves with stepper motors so nothing really to do with cars

My passion are Ford navigation systems, especially the FX, NX and MCA. Did a lot with them, and publish a lot of information and repairs. I also run a wiki dedicated to Ford Mondeo. Besides electronics, microcontrollers and programming is another passion of mine.

hi...and i am the newbi here in tge forom...tey to learn...my project is a carpc wich finaly should replace the original satnv...in my kind the fx...inc can-bus

Might be I will need your help with Haldex controler in my Mondeo mk4 AWD project. As you are from SE - those are very popular there. Do you have any knowledge about that system ?

Sorry have no knowledge about 4wd controllers

I know of one awd conversion happening in Uk right now, is thst you , or you do it also?

Nope. In not from UK. I saw also on FB some post from UK over converting 2.5 turbo silver sedan to AWD. But the point is parts on foto , that are presented are not the right one for EUDC platform, so that guy will never finish that project.
