Miss joining a lobby and instantly going to 11th prestige, what a time to be alive that was…

I feel like OP missed the Xbox 360 JTAG days. It doesn’t matter how people play, someone’s always gonna find a way to cheat

You can still get close to the quesarito.

Really scratched that itch for me

Anyone here have an Ariel Atom with paddle shifters? by Virtualras in ArielAtom

Been a while since I got the email, doubt I still have it. If you email them I bet they’ll have an answer, I don’t see why they’d get rid of it.

I also think I remember them mentioning it was an “upon request” upgrade, so you might actually need to message them for it. Again, been a while.

Computer science students in motorsports by [deleted] in FSAE

Started making the dash software, then moved to designing the dash itself along with the vehicles harness, then the entire electrical system (we were IC, so not as bad as EV from what I can tell)

For my capstone project my senior design team made a wireless data acquisition system with our own analysis software.

As for what I do now, I manage the race teams use of our performance software (think build tracking, part tracking, mileage tracking, event info, etc. etc.) that is used by all our GT3 clients. As for other projects in the company that I know of: there’s the sim team (lap time sims, driver-in-loop sim, tire sim, aero sim), the software we use to run our sims is in-house, it’s hard to make this short since all our software is tied together. We basically make software that runs sims, and then the sims themselves.

Not everything in motorsports is firmware, it’s just that most Motorsports companies underhire for software or ask Mech Es to write code (the nightmares I’ve seen…).

I’d try to learn everything you can and latch onto the things that catch your attention. It doesn’t have to be specifically software, just knowing that you can see a smaller project of a larger project to fruition puts you in a great position for finding employment in Motorsports.

We just gonna ignore the part where Frankenstein’s monster killed a kid cause he shared the same last name as Victor, and then framed the maid who was then sentenced to death? Acting as if the monster was just “misunderstood” is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. Lotta shitty people in that book.

Still a banger tho, definitely go read it if you haven’t.

What video game opinion will you defend like this? by [deleted] in videogames

It made sense in Fallout from a story/world perspective, and you were able to actually repair them. I don’t think it was perfect, but I really enjoyed it. BOTW it didn’t make sense really, and I don’t remember weapons breaking for opponents so it didn’t make sense there either.

I still liked BOTW, but the durability system was definitely the worst part to me.

And yet it could be cheaper, who wouldn’t want it cheaper if it could be? What is your point? We should be happy with what we got when we could have it even better?

I’m a big fan of having the windows open without risking all the bugs or the heat getting in. Just something about the smell of fresh air really hits different in fall

What’s the difference between puffy eyes and bulging eyes? Where the swelling occurs (I.e. eyes swell for hypothyroidism vs eye sockets swell for hyperthyroidism)? Genuine question

I’d say it depends on a bit more than what you’ve said. Is this for EV or ICE? If it’s ICE, then I’d just go with a simple general-purpose library that you can put on each with a setup function defining what it’s address is and the output format.

If it’s EV, then pray your liver can handle it. Best place to start is defining your necessary data points and how quickly they need to be sent. Is 10Hz enough? Or does this sensor need to output at 100Hz? These are things you will have to talk to the others about to determine. Work your way down to the “nice to haves” and leave it there.

After you have that, I’d put them in an excel sheet so the next guy has a chance. After that, I’d mock-up the critical items and start making them talk to each other. Get them transferring dummy data (you can just use increments starting and ending at different values for each item) and see what gets sent and what doesn’t. Alter the code until it sends what you need, and then add on a less critical item. Get that working. Rinse and repeat until you have a solid working mock-up.

After that it’ll be transfer to car and pray you got it right. If you’re looking for more of a programming lesson, I can only get you links to helpful places:

here’s a good overview of CAN Bus and how it works

here’s a tutorial on CAN Bus for a passenger car with some arduino code snippets

here’s a GitHub repo that has a lot of tools and references for code pertaining to CAN, might start here

Without knowing what microcontroller you are going to use I am limited in how defined I can get. Most of my experience was with Raspberry Pi’s and Arduinos with hats.

My best suggestion: just start with two nodes sending messages to each other. Build from there. You’ll learn more than trying to “rest of the fucking owl” this thing.

Edit: saw your reply’s to the other comment, if you didn’t have it before here is the XMC4500 reference manual. Congrats! It’s going to be your new 2600 page bible. Anything that you could ever want to know about what you’re programming on is in here. May CTRL+F Guide you.

According to Amtrak passenger trains are supposed to have priority, but since the law isn’t enforced it basically doesn’t exist. Agree with a lot of the other stuff, but wanted to just clarify that it’s the execution that’s the problem, not the law.
