HI - I did indeed mean the Auber...why, did I misspell it somewhere.
So, all we have speculation, but if Edwyn wanted to post the pin outs of his controller and coils (and he has been asked about this) then I feel that he would have done so instead of providing the vaguely threatening statement that would drive most ordinary folks to buy from him as an exclusive source rather than either taking the risk to their equipment of wrong pin outs or the hassle of getting a multimeter and ringing it out.
I'm sure he sells a decent controller and coil and it is indeed a good price. That's not my point....either publish your interface data or I buy elsewhere. End of story for me personally.
By the by, HighFive pulls this same shit off with the below comment and no pin out data:
"Our coils are solely meant to be used with HIGH5 Enails. NEVER use HIGH5 coils with enails from other brands doing so can cause a potentially dangerous situation due to different wiring and will void the warranty, NEVER use coils from other brands with HIGH5 enails either."
Which is EXACTLY why I don't buy anything from them.
There is absolutely no excuse for not publishing pin outs except to try to capture your customers as an exclusive market. Publishing the interface spec would in
absolutely no way undermine their ability to continue to offer a full package as a convenience to their customers, which you alluded to.
My opinion, we all spend our money as we wish.
