Random slightly cool stuff you built but not worth its own thread, thread
h4nd replied to h4nd's topic in Other Projects
Old guy next door who loaned me that big van, died a couple of years ago, and his daughter isn't really coping with home ownership. She's been away ~3 months looking after an ex who was having heart surgery. So I had a bit of time to think as I wombled around doing this, and concluded doing something for a neighbour was pretty appropriate for Anzac day.- 1289 replies

Middy's phone has a soggy battery, and she's complained it doesn't always charge in the car. The cig plug was coming out of the socket, so Now I can go back to ignoring the phone battery- 1289 replies

Oh man. I thought I was commiserating that the bastards had hidden the salient deets. Apparently I've also failed (passed?) my autism test. lol.

Thousand Dollar Supercar's 1988 Jaguar XJ-S 3.6
h4nd replied to Thousand Dollar Supercar's topic in Project Discussion
Nicely done, wedging some torque into the impellor old chap. Nice bit of fettling, that. Gosh I say, I don't mean to be impertinent, but the commutator did rather catch my eye. I had a chat to my man Goggle, and he offered this: I just cant help but a nagging feeling that the someone might have scarpered with a bit of your spinny thing. but well, it's running fine, so I'm probably just imagining it. So sorry to have troubled you, old bean! -
Yeah CANbus is kinda industrialised i2c-ish, but made robust for auto use, and it has deterministic servicing order, so the brake controller messages go through before the one asking if the light for the lip-stick-heater-indicator lamp is on.

Some small car enhancements, as opposed to some small car enhancements: Prius rear-view was vibrating a little on the trapezoid mount on the windscreen. This is a toyerda. We don't need that crap. we have other crap to enjoy. I got a bit of random skanky hose, put a scallop cut in one end to nudge the mirror stem. Boom. I now have crystal clear view of the cops following me who have zero interest in the Prius I'm driving. I'd cut down an window shade for the Dai, but it's missing a sun visor to hold the passenger side, so I hot-gooed some left-over Neodymium magnets to it. Now I don't have to bother fixing the actual problem: -
I'm thinking my next fun project will have a SA0v1.69bis standard protocol. That's the Shitty-Add-On 2nd version.

And now for something completely different:
-
Also install the thermostat fan control or similar (is manual at the mo). Cover for the starter relay terminals, or rubber boots. To avoid shorts when placing the battery holder rods.
