cheers, thats just about perfect

should probably add something like:

Selling or otherwise transferring this item to a third party, or allowing a third party to use this product is only permitted if they accept the conditions herein, and failure to pass on or otherwise inform them of these conditions may result in you assuming full responsibility for anything that may occur as a result of this.

ie, to make sure anyone at all who uses the device will have accepted those conditions.

maybe add something saying that if they sell it they should obtained a signed copy of this statement from the buyer to protect themselves (given theyre the ones selling or otherwise giving it away), and must forward a copy along to me?

in terms to tracking any potential theft, along with being able to info people about upgrades etc, it would be good for me to know who the new owners are if anyone ever sells theirs, so it would be good to get that into it

[Interloper]

i'm just confirming that i will buy one when its ready (i'm already on the list)

[NewKleer]

just letting everyone know ive received some boards i sent away to be made/assembled for usb-serial converters that can be used for those who dont have a serial port on their laptops - they use the FTDI chip which is pretty much the best chip out there for converters - but theyre expensive! (others give u random BSOD/resets like the targus one i have). its a bit simpler converter in that it doesnt convert the handshaking signals (which are used by modems etc, but not consult interfaces)

still have to test them though

with any luck ill have some of them made by time i finish testing and start selling the displays. most likely price will be around the $20-$25 mark. compared to the $50+ here, hopefully thats ok

[PranK]

Hey Peter, how are you this week to meet up and test the GTR one?

[NewKleer]

this weekend or thru the week next week is still looking possible. i pretty much only need to finalise the setup for the injector size, add a fuse and a few other hardware things, then make the cables and put it in the box. got a couple uni assignments that ill hopefully get out of the way by wednesday so ill have couple days and maybe saturday to finish it off, fingers crossed. also need to finalise the disclaimer/waiver that will need to be signed, and that should hopefully be it!

Hey mate,

I noticed im in your interest list but im not confirmed....

Definetly keen on one.

They are looking better everytime i check.

Functions are great, the addition of 400m is awesome, though i cant wait to see how much wheelspin throws it out!!!!!

[NewKleer]

yeh, wish something could be done about that, but until cars come with accelerometers to measure speed rather than the current gearbox/wheelturns method, its impossible. theres possible mathematical methods to try and guess whats wheelspin, when it stops, and then assume linear acceleration over from timestart to when wheelspin stops (then normal from then on), but simply the most accurate way is to not wheelspin to begin with

real drivers dont get wheelspin anyway

ive put u down as confirmed

[Let Me Drive]

nar mate you can take me off the list ive got somehting else now sorry dude good luck with the sale

they look the treat

[TurboX]

Hey Peter, lookin forward to the finished product as I just replaced my diagnosed as faulty Knock Sensors by someone who will remain nameless!

-NOT an easy task as had to remove all intake manifolds etc to do them.

STILL same problem of intermittent not firing all cyls and timing /fuel going out to lunch, so hope your LCD Consult Box will help to contribute to solve problem!

Please send asap

[NewKleer]

will be done soon! wish i could make uni going away, but all my assignments for both my subjects are due this week

[muck]

interested

[Duncan]

Pete....for your next project....all the ATESSA skylines have g-sensors

[NewKleer]

accessible via consult? what are they used for (theyre on that in car tv or something? does that tv get its stuff from consult?)

[Duncan]

sorry didn't mean to get too far off topic....but attesa takes the longitudinal gsensor as input which is what you would need for accurate acceleration figures. I think the 34 vspec puts the output on the screen but they all have the sensors

[NewKleer]

yeh, just depends hoe theyt get the reading, i gyues itd be reading sensor directly. anyway ocnce ive got the first lot going ill start another thread with suggestions for improvements/extensions (got an idea for an extension for logging to some kind of memory card as a possibility)

[NewKleer]

Hey Peter, how are you this week to meet up and test the GTR one?

check ur pm re: testing availability

ive finished the firmware so once i finish building the devices for the testers (one completed so far) ill be able to start testing with them. either thru the week, or next weekend.

[RAZOR32]

Im 100% keen for one of these. Chuck me on the list

[NewKleer]

some pics of the first "final" device completed for testing. the black blob on the cord is a external vreg (basically means device itself stays cooler) which will warm up a bit (heatshrink takes care of it), and also a 0.5A fuse (this "should" be enough, but testing will determine if it needs to be a higher value or not)
