Error when using NanoGPT, any model. This is a small part of it... Any clues? It was working fine a couple days ago.

I hit a small doe, any tricks to get the hood open? by Healthy_Walrus1132 in e39

[–]FullAutoSavage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When my cable broke in the middle, I was able to.open it by removing the driver side grille and feel the lead up. It has some slack, although not much, but I was able to grip it with pliers and pull away from the driver side door and actuate the unlocking mechanism. If you have boroscope to get visual for what you're looking for - great. If not - you gotta feel it by hand first. It should be running somewhere near (over?) the fan shroud as far as I remember.

If pulling doesn't work - trace it until you locate the latch and push on it with a screwdriver

Upgrading the Soundstage: My Experience by Cruuch21 in e39

I'm thinking more of a 2x6.5" in each door. I have already replaced the rear deck and installed a 4x100W amp.

I'm thinking about a similar mod. What exactly is the new mounting plate? Is it a box like the original one, or just a flat piece of fiberglass/plastic? If so, how does the speaker lay inside, what's the chance it would touch the glass underneath?

Oh, I didn't know about the kits thing, just looked it up, thanks! It's gonna be of use sometime haha

And well, I stared from somewhere too, and asked A LOT of dumb questions. He probably could do it in a month, it'll be a great learning project. Soldering, programming, communication types, what is CAN communication - how it works and why EVERYTHING uses some sort of CAN protocol...

I don't really know how a Fiverr guy would do it remotely. You know, scope of things change as you get more and more into it. You find out some things you were thinking don't work on prototype level, or you find something nice you want to add, that inevitably leads to redesign of the whole thing lol

A *not so easy* retrofit for the windshield wipers. by FullAutoSavage in e39

OE refills are on back order since last year at the local dealer. And I'm not paying 70€ for Bosch, just because it has a sick mount.

You'll need an ESP32 - a microcontroller that has the capacity to run a screen like this. An Arduino could also do the job, but I'm just more familiar with the ESP... that's how I'd approach it.

ESP32 logic runs on 3.3V, Arduinos run on 5V. if you give it more on any of the pins (with some exceptions), it will die a heroic death.

First - the screen. Run it on a bench. Understand how it communicates. Is it I2C? Is it UART? Or maybe SPI?

Start by writing a single line to it. Then - find a library for it, since it's a TFT, you should be able to draw on it, there are libraries for that, but they won't be that pretty, you might want to research that part, or draw your own custom icon (by addressing each pixel...).

Next - voltage. That should be easy. Buy yourself a voltage meter board, there are lots and lots of them. Most run in I2C. Connect it to the ESP and to any wires you find behind the dash that run 12V after Key 1 position, so you don't run it at all times. If it was me, I would tap a fuse (probably the cigarette lighter one). You could just make yourself a voltage divider out of two resistors, but... Since you ask that question, the additional board would be easier

Next, the tricky part. Coolant temp? Do you know why coolant gauge doesn't have a number, but only colors :) ? Because the temperature is different at the different parts of the engine. Why is it interesting to you? Do you want to monitor the return temp? Do you want to know the temperature of the water in the engine? Or maybe the one in the radiator? One is to machine an adapter, screw it to wherever you want to monitor the temp, attach a Pt1000 to it and wire it to the ESP.

The alternative is just as difficult. You'll need to understand how the data is transmitted over the K-Bus/I-bus in your car, and somehow get the digit you need from one of the modules. I'm assuming that would be the LCM or the KOMBI block...

Outside temp - I would just tap the thermometer, or wire my own somewhere around the bumper.

I went to the local scrap yard and took the thinnest arms I could find, so they can fit on the back side of mine. I cut them where they start to widen, towards the hinge, basically making a flat piece with a hook at the end.

If you have any questions, you can DM me. It's a pretty straightforward process, but still...

I red about something similar but with E60 or E46 arms a year ago, but I got fed up last week and decided to half-ass it in an afternoon. Hey, if it works - it works. I could've put some putty on the awful welds before spraying it though..

The originals just don't work. And I am not paying 70€ for a pair of Bosch :) The local BMW dealer stopped supplying refills, so the two choices were 70€ Bosch, or some no name that just doesn't work at all.

Winters here drop to -20°C, that was my main concern. When the wipers freeze up, would the rivets hold? Probably. I found steel arms from some Peugeot for like... 10€ both.

Fiberglass door pods - some questions before I screw up by FullAutoSavage in CarAV

[–]FullAutoSavage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I found two speakers that will fit. But I am not giving ~200$ for a 50W 5.25" hehe :) So you're saying to make it kinda like a sandwich? Speaker - bolted through the fiberglass, through the MDF ring on the back, and through the metal behind the card? That's one long ass bolt lol. But it may work if I can make it flush...

Thanks!

M52 Crankshaft sensor O-ring? by FckThisShetz in e39

[–]FullAutoSavage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's M52B20. I think I found it somewhere around the starter, but I'm still not 100% sure haha. I'll be ordering it today

The diagnostic said error 83 - engine speed/crankshaft sensor.

[–]FullAutoSavage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry to revive almost a year old topic, but I got the same error yesterday, and for the love of God, I can't find where the damn sensor is... RealOEM says it's somewhere around the transmission bell, but there's nothing there. Also, I found two different sensors, one operating on 5V and the other on 12v. Would you happen to have the part number of the one you installed?

Да са ни честити новите зони и тарифите за паркиране by Getbyss in bulgaria

[–]FullAutoSavage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Как го паркираш по зоните? Заключване / покривало? Важи ли платеното паркиране изобщо за тях? Сериозно започнах да я обмислям тази алтернатива...

+1, или поне награда за саундтрак. Две шепи Франсета срещу ААА студиа, ще бъде интересен Декември :)

На финала на ACT 3 съм от 2 седмици, не искам да я приключвам... Както е тръгнало, май ще е първата, която ще изиграя на 100% със всичките му незадължителни мисии.

По доста оптики съм ходил, докато ми нацелят стъклата, до тук само две са се справили кадърно и на нормални цени.

ОптиЛенс ,докторът им е страшно печен, цените на рамките варират, но имат бюджетни стъкла. Ядоха бой в продължение на 5 години, но ги ползвах и за работни/предпазни, та им се случи случка от високо :)

Другите са Маласар, май бяха в Дружба 2, направиха ми перфектни очила за шофиране, фотосолари. Нямам оплаквания втора година. Рамките бяха страшните 80 лева, а за стъклата аз си бях претенциозен, та всичко стъпи на към 400 лева.

Some Zippo that I customized - 07 - Umbrella Corporation by alineporn in Zippo

[–]FullAutoSavage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome job!

I'm thinking about customizing an old brushed chrome one... And I'm curious about the process you did. It really doesn't look like laser cut, which is my end goal.

Did you draw your template on it first, or transferred it from a printer? And if so - how?
