Robot battery changer finally happening in the wild

Bring tools. Heh, what could possibly go wrong?

To carry it in?

Every year, the Dai craps out just in time for this. I wonder what it'll blow this year?

My spies inform me there's another 2T white Kei car around Chch this week. The hunt is on, team.

FUXED.

I have done some fucking evil shit in the registry (TIL there's settings in the registry that Regedit won't let you alter. *cough* will try not to let you alter).

Tune in tomorrow to see if BT audio still works, and tune in next week to see if the entire system has collapsed.

It's 2023

Windows Bluetooth still SUUUUUUCKS!

Ahem

You won't get it rich enough to see 130 without shitting the bed first, so 100 it is.

I think you'd be astounded how rich the Dai runs, for part of it's operating cycle, anyways

Unexpected customer visit ate 2h, so only just getting to lunch:

it's not so much that computers suck (and yes, yes they do).

It's how much other peoples computers suuuuuuuck!

Pertol Barrie dispute incoming:

FLAME WAR

Impressed that the outright lap time at Willow Springs is now an EV, ahead of Porsche, McLaren etc

Worse if she loves the idea?

Time for 'is first beer, brummie

Could use more of these in cities

 

That would be perfect for my 8 min commute to both offices, or ducking down to Jaycar for bits

I see the 350cc Harley Davidson is going to come to NZ next year, I wonder how the purists will take this lol

Looks pretty well spec'd imo. 

Allegedly the '26 peashooter 350s GHFWII.

Actual performance bike of the day.

I hear rumours of PGs lurking at a bottle-o in Marshland rd

So, I wanna use a smart watch to trigger actions by just waving it at an nfc tag (e.g. one by light switch to set 'away' mode). It turns out that any SW with nfc only pretend to be a tag, like a pay chit for gym lockers. There's one guy who managed with an old Samsung (NLA), but no code published, and doubters. So I could build one, but lilygo T-Watch with expansion were only the 2019 version. So I probably shouldn't bother, right? But it's obvious, just waving your watch at a spot without having to get your phone out, unlock it, ok the action etc is far better UI, huh?

Extending ^ this idea: how original do you want to keep it? Check this: https://www.billetproofdesign.com/hydro-clutch-hydraulic-clutch-assembly-kit-fits-1971-1984-harley-davidson-sportster-xl-with-ironhead-made-in-usa/

Lindstrom are magic. I still use more mine from 30 years ago. $$ tho.

Duratech and Tolsen seem ok quality for not much money. Mako elec screwdriver seems good so far for light duty, no torque limiter though.

Looks like its a Melexis rotary position sensor.

Nice find: datasheet here: https://media.melexis.com/-/media/files/documents/datasheets/mlx90324-datasheet-melexis.pdf

Arduino code for a cousins here: https://www.melexis.com/en/documents/tools/tools-mlx90397---firmware-for-arduino and here https://github.com/melexis/mlx90392#readme PC stuff

Prob easier to gut it.
