80 pin VAG connector breakout board

[rusefillc]

We do not know anyone with this connector but we have forum inquiry https://rusefi.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1818

I have these connectors new for sale so selling with connector would be a nice publicity item

Models and pin latout for this connector can be found on the TE Connectivity website:

I already brought the connector into KiCad to start making a PCB, but it's been a few years since I touched any PCB Cad software so I'm a little lost.

The files I used are attached.

@jwrb I've pushed both files into rusEFI library repository

Any progress on the adapter board?

@rusefillc It's been years since I dabbled with PCB design. Still working my way through it. Would be very nice to have a layout.

I'd like to get it designed so I can have some PCB's made for my own builds.

@rusefillc
I've gotten in contact with a couple of PCB designers regarding this. I'll be commisioning a PCB layout for this connector.

Once complete, I will add it to the repo, and submit a PR.

Thanks

I've actually already paid someone to make a breakout board - just pushed, see associated commit.

Between you contributing the footprint I have to make the board public but I will probably not publish official gerbers for this board.

Oh great! That's fab news! I'll have to see about sorting a few boards for my personal use!
Thank you! :)
