• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Ibeat Cable

Looks to me like a fellow Husky owner reverse-engineered the cable. Maybe someone who is already on this site? In case nobody else has, I will reply to the contact link for details and will report anything I find out. (Response promptly received was that the web site was updated with the information I had asked for.)

BTW, I would think that reverse-engineering the software would be relatively easy to do for anyone who can reverse-engineer the cable. No violation of copyright laws either. Copying the software itself is a no-no. Copying the function of the software (by creating your own version from scratch) is fine.


Edit--I also wonder if the cable is for the '08 or the '09 or both. I've heard rumors about two different versions of iBeat but don't know any details.

Matthew,



I’m located in the state of Idaho which is along ways from LA. I have tested the cable with iBeat software on a 08 TE450.



The shipping cost to Singapore would be $17 USD. Shipping for 1-10 cables is $16 + $1 per cable for insurance.



Here is the cost for the Husqvarna EFI interface cable-



Qty 1-9 $ 120 USD ea.

Qty 10-49 $ 100 USD ea.

Qty 50 + $ 90 USD ea.

The '08 version of the software and cable that I bought works on my (ex) '08 TE610 and my current '09 TE310. It was also used successsfully on an '08 TE450 or 510; don't recall exact model.
 
Not yet. Appears the cable is only a replacement for the iBeat software at this time. Sent a note to find out when their own software was going to be available. Cable alone is pretty much useless for someone such as myself who doesn't have the iBeat software, or access to it. Nice to have an option to the iBeat at a more affordable cost.
 
IBeat (I) is kind of weak, I bought it off of Ebay,
set my bike up seat of the pants dyno with it, then sold
the IBeat unit.

If I had IBeat (II) I think it would be more useful, IMHO.

Yes I did!

It works great and it appears much more robust than the original cable. I've heard reports that the original ibeat cables are not that durable and can be damaged.
