I'm in sort of the same train and am getting slow but steady progress. If you want to talk about things (without giving away anything) feel free to email me.

Yes, but the simple website is very scarce in details. The project is in pre-alpha. I was just writing code for the API like an hour ago. I dont want to publicize it here at the moment, but if you send me an email (check profile) I will gla

It won't happen. Car companies suffer from a huge NIH syndrome. The entire parts supply chain benefits from re-engineering everything. Its baked into the culture.

Yes, I did data simulations and analysis. My main interest is in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) real time communications. Those things were simulated with a series of Python scripts, but there is nothing like r

I'm prototyping an IoT system that will use RFID tags to track inventory as it moves around an area. The system will provide live updates on location. Imagine knowing exactly where things are at all times through a simple dashboard. No

Exactly. I've worked on autonomous vehicles by myself to the point of acquiring a vehicle for development. But the vehicle's conditions were less than ideal and it became too expensive to repair. I am using parts from it to mock u

You can use the wastegate, a blow-off valve, or a restrictor to limit the amount of boost (backpressure in the air intake side of the engine). The wastegate controls how much the turbo spins and thus how much air it moves. The blow-off valv

Yes, it was a mechanical valve built into the area. If you've never had a turbocharger in your hand it might be tricky to picture it in your head.

More details on the illegal modification: http://homepage.virgin.net/shalco.com/tte_ban.htm It is quite brilliant. Think of it as a software backdoor. :)

It does look simpler than using Go for a similar type of project, IMO.

A scooped hood I assume? I've seen it in so many places, including inside the fuel tank. I've wired a small amount of such systems into whatever switch is available on the dashboard. Hiding the solenoids is the real issue on wet s

Very nice and readable. What are the plans for this? Anyone share to comment if there is a development roadmap or if its just an exercise in programming.

I'd never would have thought to use a worm ring geared motor hidden in the frame. Reminds me of how nitrous bottles are hidden inside roll cages and cooling systems in racing cars. Cheating is an art of itself.

I built a static status page that you can host anywhere. I use it for various systems. Its ugly, but works as required. Uses bootstrap and jquery. so you can go crazy with it. Everything is self contained. No need to maintain it. Does need

What guarantee do you have that Tesla has has a higher than average repair success? Other, more experienced auto makers are also hit or miss.

I did not downvote you, because your point is reasonable. I do disagree with it because it assumes that Tesla is putting their customers interests first. Their history points to the contrary. Your first sentence outlines the main point. It

It's not about the joy of auto repair. The vast majority of car owners cannot afford to repair their car. Even when parts are available. Having the technical documentation allows people to fix their cars. Tesla does not make the docume

Exactly. I'm stuck maintaining a legacy Django 1.3 system and its not ideal. I'm using Django 1.9 for other systems and it makes me a bit sad to work with the older version. I'd happy maintain a legacy system but it gets hard

It is indeed fast. I'm just waiting for it to mature a little bit more to use it in production. My goal is to start working on production system after summer 2016. By the, more information about gotchas and issues should have arose.

Go is lighter than the other two. It can run on lesser hardware (or resources) and is pretty much reliable. The code is easy to write and simple. I don't get to "enjoy" too many smart hacks from others in Go. Its a nice langu
