one day i would love to be able to play dcs a-10c but honestly it looks like a steep-rear end learning curve which takes time that i do not have. planes and copters are fuckin rad but i guess my place in life is to enjoy them from the ground.

i wonder if the gear shifter (for automatics) is also controlled by the same software in the toyotas? otherwise shifting to N should stop the acceleration and hopefully the function to prevent the engine blowing up will still work...

according to michael barr's testimony there is a lot of critical poo poo that is all grouped together in this one task that runs periodically every few ms and they didnt account for this task dying which in such a condition would cause everything to stop working. apparently things such as the gear shifter are run on the same embedded system as the throttle control, ecu, etc.

have a read of the testimony from around page 77 (page 59 in the pdf): http://www.safetyresearch.net/Library/Bookout_v_Toyota_Barr_REDACTED.pdf that's where things get crazy

my idiot spare time project last night and this afternoon: attaching a fan to my dsl modem. see dsl modems are poo poo and i figured the lovely broadcom chip might be getting too hot sometimes. i got a heatsink for it as well (pictured) but i dont have any thermal interface poo poo currently so i just went with the fan for now. fan is out of an old psu, got some resistors from my old car cd changer so the fan is nice and quiet. anyway thought u all might get a laugh out of the pic

this morning i stopped procrastinating and finished making a second watertight camera. it's basically a chinese ethernet security camera that's had its guts ripped out and remounted in a sealed housing.

first you have to make one of these things. it has mounting points for the camera boards, some threaded holes so you can attach it to stuff, and grooves for overlarge harbor freight o-rings.


the boards need to be mounted at different heights, so make some standoffs using 6-32 nylon screws


put in the standoffs and i guess the camera power+comms line too


attach the boards and try to get them more or less parallel. don't lose too many of the irreplaceable tiny screws!


put on the acrylic case. try not to get the front face too greasy/dirty, or the camera won't be able to see. power it on and hope it works.


coming soon: a 2-axis servo gimbal to point it around underwater!

tony hawks toilet seat simulator lookin good

but seriously heres an idea: how about making something like audiosurf with the rover but instead of hitting bars or watever you instead have to do sick stunts in-time with the music. you could have it either as an fixed rails dealio or free-roam where ramps loops and poo poo appear dynamically ahead of you
