I made a video of me assembling the jumper that allows the power to complete the circuit but it was so bad, that I knew if you got a hold of it, I'd never be allowed back on the project....

Well, it seems like the board is more than half done. There's 75 components to go....

So I put some videos on Youtube, and here are 2 pictures. First image is after the first night, some 44 solder points, jaguar_0.4-alpha_serial_eleven_begun.JPG the second... well tonight is just starting and I've now soldered a complete 74 joints. first_night_progress_jaguar_0.4-alpha.JPG I've compl...

so I've ordered a card...

OK, so for the board, I've cleaned up my office which has been set up with a bench. Here's the space: I've also received the package from Andy, and just now the components from Digi-key. No disrespect Andy, I just wanted to make sure I got all of them easy to sort, and it's easier to claim business ...

Thanks for the advice Fred, I'll pick some up. In the mean time I figured out a compromise... solder_autofeed.JPG ROFL So thanks to Deuce for the Radio shack lingo (I do have a Frys on my daily driving route so I'm not all the shack). I just love the auto feed solder of 1.6mm above. I asked the atte...

The board has arrived. This is the first of the creepy semi-reflective picture line. At least you can see I'm happy. By chance I got serial number 11. Very nice touch with the handwritten 3x5 card. I hadn't realized how small the PCB would be, since I was looking at the preview pictures on a 24"...

Well, Andy has shipped the Jaguar 0.4-alpha board with MCU and drivers mounted. DigiKey has shipped the components to complete the board. I'll need to get the case and connector figured out before the car becomes a daily driver (which won't be anytime soon due to Electrically controlled transmission...

Yeah, not what I meant about interrupt latency. I mean
1. Why was the FreeScale processor chosen?
2. What are the major challenges the current version faces, what are the down the road solutions, what are the immediate solutions?
3. Why are FreeEMS users so camera shy?

I came here for the BOM for option 2 buyers and completely missed it on post 29 because I couldn't look away from the beauty of the pictures. Thank you Andy! PS, can I get a pic of the DB-37 hooked up to the board, I don't know how easy that would be, but if at some point you have it out of either t...

I think one of the most interesting things that I got from talking with Sean about the reason for needing XGate was some reasons for choosing the Freescale MC9S12XDP512, simple interrupt handling (I think that was it?). He was describing how the processor spends half its time dumping values from reg...
