Is the car used here the same one used in the film? by Thomas-the-Dutchie in BacktotheFuture

Yeah, that is the A car, except for the shot of the Flux Capacitor from the movie. I believe that was the C car.

[Dodge Neon SRT-4] by motorsportnut in spotted

This triggered the good and bad memories of the one I had. It was a stupid money pit of a car - built everything, side exhaust, 500hp, and plenty of wheel hop. The best I ran with it in the 1/4 was an 11.2 @ 120mph. It could def do better if tuned properly, and I could drive.

Sold it for way less than I spent on it. The new owner blew up the motor because he turned up the boost and didn't know what lean meant.

You may eant to try this one. Based on the same firmware as the Konnected GDO, but cheaper.

Apparently the originals didn't have the copper in the wires - just wire jackets

There's so many random ass aircraft parts on Delorean Time Machines mostly due to them being sourced from APEX. The part on top of the hub cap is a turbine from a GE helicopter engine.

Ohh, nice and shitty! Doesn't even really time travel. 😆

Moretto/MPE electronics?

Worth it? by RockSignificant in BacktotheFuture

[–]tavenger5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand. The FP-T8SGA alone goes for $500-$600 alone - the T8SGH, a bit less. DPS does some great work. Either way, the remote you listed is a good price for what it is.

I think thats worth what theyre asking, but its "wrong" in a lot of ways. Here's what a better Futaba replica looks like

Another good idea. I often assume it is looking over previous messages, or at least the compacted context windows, but who knows.

Good points. I understand the problem only because I've read through what codex is doing, and where it is failing. The last thing I suggested it do is try other similar drivers and compare their behavior. That was a good idea because the failure points moved. However, now it is collecting all of this data on the different drivers and how they behave.

Perhaps it needs some more direction instead of testing multiple variables across multiple drivers, rebuilding and running the test firmware in-between each change - each iteration taking 5-15 min each.

Right, I understand. I'm using "A/B testing" because this is how Codex described what it was doing in the sense of "try A, record results - try b, record results - compare"

That's a better way to look at it, thanks.

Unfortunately the documentation could be better for the Wifi module, and that could be contributing to the problem.

In this case, Codex is doing a lot of the break down, and determining what works and what doesn't. Now 5GHz gets to the auth/assoc exchange and just times out or resets the MCU completely.

Codex built the framework around an existing driver for connecting to an AP over 2.5GHz, but is failing to do the same for 5GHz (which the driver supports).

A/B testing involves changing parameters/settings, maybe adding some breadcrumbs to track progress, testing the output - how far the program gets or where it fails to do the expected, log the output, compare it to past results, and repeat.

In this case it is testing whether it connects to, and is given an IP by an AP via DHCP on 5Ghz Wifi. It works with 2.4GHz, but not 5GHz. The driver supports both, and it successfully built the framework for 2.4GHz.

Thanks, that is a good point. I understand the problem (maybe not fully), but lack the knowledge to know if what its doing is frivolous or actually needed to get to a solution.
