CAN Control of inVIEW

Three Ways to Control inVIEW From Your Infinitybox System

The inVIEW Wiper Control Module is a full member of the Infinitybox ecosystem. When it’s part of your system, inVIEW receives its commands over the Infinitybox CAN network — the same network that ties the rest of your Infinitybox components together. That means you can operate your wipers from any of the control interfaces in your system, and it all works over a single pair of network wires.

To get inVIEW talking on the network, you’ll connect CAN HI and CAN LO to the Infinitybox CAN bus. Be sure to follow the instructions in your inVIEW manual to make these connections correctly. Once inVIEW is on the network, you have three different ways to control it.

Control With Switches Wired to Your MASTERCELL

If you’re running physical switches in your build, you can wire them to the inputs on your MASTERCELL and use them to operate inVIEW. This lets you keep the tactile feel of real switches — whether that’s a factory stalk, billet buttons, or toggles on a custom panel — while inVIEW handles all the wiper logic behind the scenes. Because your switches only need to trigger a MASTERCELL input, you can leave the big, clunky factory wiper control switches behind and use whatever clean, compact switch fits your build.

You can assign your MASTERCELL inputs to any of the inVIEW functions, including low, high, intermittent and washer.

To assign your MASTERCELL inputs to the inVIEW functions, reference the inCODE NGX instructions. inCODE NGX walks you through mapping each input to the wiper function you want it to control.

Control From the inTOUCH Screens on inLINK NGX

If your system includes inLINK NGX, you can control inVIEW directly from the inTOUCH screens. The Wiper Control screen puts every function right at your fingertips on the display. And because inTOUCH runs over your inLINK network, you can pull it up on any smartphone, tablet, or other WiFi-enabled touchscreen that connects to inLINK — giving you wiper control from whatever device is already in your hand.

From this screen you get low, high and intermittent wiper speeds, along with a wide Wash button for the washer pump. Navigation along the side takes you to the rest of your inTOUCH functions, so wiper control lives right alongside everything else in your system — no extra switches required.

Control From the inCONTROL

The inCONTROL gives you another clean, switch-free way to operate inVIEW. Start from the home screen and rotate the ring to highlight the wiper function, then touch the screen to open it.

Selecting wiper control on the Infinitybox inCONTROL

That brings you to the inVIEW wiper control screen, where low, high, intermittent and washer are arranged around the display. A yellow arc around each function shows you whether it’s on or off, and touching a function turns it on or off.

One Module, Your Choice of Controls

However you like to interact with your vehicle — real switches through your MASTERCELL, the inTOUCH screens on inLINK NGX, or the inCONTROL — inVIEW responds to all of them over the Infinitybox CAN network. That’s the advantage of building with Infinitybox: one wiper module, controlled however fits your build.

Miranda Built 1967 Nova- "Affliction"

Miranda Built Nova- “Affliction” Wins Street Machine of the Year

Congratulations to the team at Miranda Built.  Their 1967 Nova called “Affliction” certainly stands out, so much so that it made it to the Riddler Great 8 at the Detroit Autorama earlier this year.  If that isn’t enough, Miranda Built just won Street Machine of the Year at the 2014 Goodguys Show in Columbus, Ohio.

The car is subtle but packed with details.  It is wired with a full compliment of our Infinitybox hardware.  They started with our 20-Circuit Harness kit to control the main car functions.  They added inMOTION for the power windows and locks.  Then topped it off with inTOUCH NET.  This lets the owner control the whole car right from the iPad mounted in the dash, including the heating and air-conditioning through a Vintage Air Gen-IV tied to our inVIRONMENT climate control module.
