Sweet as htial can't wait.

Heres a photo we got with bumblebee and mizzi on the road, awesome photo.

Hey mate, nice photo.

Are you the guy who had the camera on the roof of his car?

If you are did you get any footage, if you did, i would love to see it, i got some footage of you too.

But still working out how to upload the video, lol.

P.s whats the advertisement for? are there vids or pics?

Yeah dude that was me.

Thats my mates company, he does all the Easternats and Winton (Performance Car Mania 22nd of this month) DVDs.

I haven't seen the footage yet but there would be heaps of your car on it man.

I can't wait to see the footage you have dude, I would say send it to me to post up but I wouldn't have a clue either, can anyone else help?

Am i able to buy this dvd or?

If so how, and are you able to kee me informed.

Tahnks heaps mate.

Here's the link for my first vid in a higher quality format... ...The original one was a really low format so I could get it up and out quick...

Thanks again to Funkymonkey for getting it up to YouTube so quick... ...and making me decide to create another YouTube account...

I should walk away from my computer for a little while... ...the more I use it the longer the encoding seems to be taking... :) ...I'll let you all know when I start uploading to YouTube...

This one has a little "Jazz Hands"... :yes:

Encoding almost finished on another...

Then YouTube...

Keep an eye on my YouTube account... ..."htial1"... ...:)...

Hey mate, is that the video of everyone leaving the meet point but coming towards the camera?

And also how do i look at your account on youtube? where do i find it?

Cheers

No sorry... ...Ashneel was the one that was getting the other shot...

Uploading to YouTube has begun...

Enjoy... ...I'm getting a beer and starting on the next one...

Hey mate, what do you mean uploading is it able to be viewed over you tube?

Not very good with all this internet stuff. lol

Thanks mate mizzi

What I mean is I've finished all the work I want to do with the vid and it is in the process of being sent to YouTube...

Go to my profile... http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=htial1 ...and keep hitting the refresh button and once it is up you'll be able to view it... ...but I'll also put the link in the forum ones I've got that to...

For those wanting to check Htials YouTube account for when he adds videos and what not just go to the link of the first video (the one leaving BP

)then just on the right hand side of the video under the description you can click on "more from this user" and it will display all his videos he has uploaded to youtube and you can just click them there to view them.

For those not too good with the computers "encoding" and "ripping" means getting the footage onto the computer / compressing it down to a smaller size so that you can then "upload" (load it from your computer to youtube which hosts the video so everyone can see) once its "uploaded" to youtube everyone can view its awesomeness :yes:

(oh and these steps can take a bit of time as you can tell :))

hope this helps a little bit.

Leigh.

Edit: htial beat me to it :) both ways work fine.

anyone know a good program to rip a DVD onto the PC?

anyone?

cam was a minidv 1...then the footage was put onto a DVD in actual DVD format so i need to rip it onto the comp without losing the quality coz its not super quality as it is...

Thanks mate, i got the biggest headache trying to figure this stuff out, lol.

    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways.
