Whoa, deja vu

Toys! Fortunately DHL didn't return my USB Dial all the way to Cananada. I might give it a quick try on Ubuntu in VMWare tonight, but the gumstix is elsewhere right now so none of that. Actually I haven't even got cross compiling working for the gumstix yet and I don't have time for that...

It's maroon dammit =p I spent a long time thinking I'd change the color of my supra when I had it repainted. I've been leaning away from it lately, and you guys sealed the deal. Some nice cars in this thread =)

*sound of digging through mail archives* Ron, 2002, "Wow! ADL, cool! I am impressed already..." Little did he know =) Evidently people who live in Fargo have a different definition of "close" =)

It's the 5.6" touchscreen model from ezlcd.com. The only info I really have on it is just what's on their site. So read that and you'll know as much about it as I do =) It is NOT a normal VGA/DVI display. I recall in the manual that loading a full screen bitmap takes something like 90 ms...

I hate DHL. I was hoping to have a chance to tinker with the gumstix and make sure the phidgets drivers worked, but... The USB-based dial for User Input will presumably be delivered Tuesday the 1st, despite having made its first appearance at that location on the March 25th. It should arrive...

I thought I'd kick off our new section with a survey of who all is running a MoTeC? I know of Myself, Ron, Figgie and John Reed off the top of my head, who else?

Image pulled from this post in the elite engine thread: That gives a pretty good indication I think. Ignore the 'control' line to the custom BOV. Fuel Tank -> Charcoal Canister -> AFM-Bracket-Pass-Through -> Temperature Activated Vacuum Switching Valve -> Tube on 3000 Pipe Bracket -> one...

I added your AIM name to my list, and added my AIM name to my profile. Feel free to IM me any time. If I'm busy I'll just ignore you until I'm not =p

So one of the most active guys on the forums is from MN (like me) running a Motec (like me) running on E85 (like me, well future me anyways). And now the guy most interested in the electronics side of my project... shares my name? Weird =p And ya, feel free to ask anything. I figured most...

I can't wait to see how it looks once it's done. You melded the little panel in front of the rear wheel, unlike Ham. I'm curious how much that changes the look. Also: That's a lot of effort for a set of wheels. Sheesh.

Ok so you know how when you're braking on an uneven or broken or rippled bit of asphalt (not sandy/gravely) and if you have ABS it's cycling on and off rapidly as your tires gain and lose grip? Lighter wheels keep the tires pressed against the road more of the time, or less likely to break free...

Here is the Data Acquisition Device (DAQ) I referred to earlier. You can see I have a few random lights dials and switches on the easy access pins on the left. Those are just for testing the feedback loop through my software. There are break-out boards connected on the right which include...

A few more 'old' photos. Here is where I installed my Greddy Turbo Timer. I rather liked this install. Though I'll be implementing that function in the gumstix in future so I'll be needing a replacement for this panel. This one highlights the material you need to remove to fit a standard...

For those more interested in the carputer/gumstix aspect, I've started another thread over at mp3car.com that might end up with some relevant comments: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/linux/118079-gumstix-now-w-usb-host.html

I scavenged up a bunch of photos and dumped them into iPhoto. Most of them are actually from when I had a page on SupraSport.com (I was tech support for his first online store, heh). I lost the HD that had the originals but the shrunk ones I pulled back off the server. Here are a few random...

Parts! First, the biggest part: Thanks arz! I don't intend for this to be the last part I order from you. Your contribution of your CNC skills is a real asset to this community. I can't wait to see what you do next. And the next part: At this point you're probably wondering wtf in the...

Hedging his bets I guess =p

Picture Not My Car (people seem to get confused easily when skimming threads, so I thought I'd make it clear) Picture is from this post in the Elite Engine Thread. Everyone seems to have their own idea of how to do the PCV routing once the stock rats nest is ripped out. This is my current...

Living mostly in St Cloud right now, though I still crash at my Dad's place in Orono (west suburbs, Lake Minnetonka) quite a bit. I've fallen out of touch with the local Supra guys (ever meet Glen K?). Nice to know there are still a few around. Nice build thread, btw =)
