Heh, was just thinking about you guys yesterday.

Good work! Can't wait to see what you have done.

The FS competition is on 16-19.7. at Silverstone.
Should be lots of really interesting stuff there. (We should be there, but I can't guarantee that though)

Our next competition is FSA (Formula Student Austria) 12-15.8.

And right after that a more layed back Baltic Open at Helsinki on 20-23.8.

Ok, I should definitely be able to come and say Hi at that time. I think I have a party to go to in London on the 17th, but I can say Hi on other day(s).

Keep me posted on whether you'll be there or not.

That's really exciting, I want videos!

The chip with more pins, has the same amount of inputs, analog ins? There's another version of this chip, which should be code compatible, I thought, which will let you have more IO.

Also, two things to think about - external multiplexer chip, or an external A/D - with CAN already on chip, it shouldn't be hard at all to find something and talk to it - it'd be good preparation for knock detection (with one of the CANbus knock chips) anyway.

We're using a knock-sensor chip hooked up to the SPI bus.

...Mainly because CAN chips are really difficult to find with net searches, and SPI is specific enough to turn up good hits.

We where unable to resolve our issues with Formula Student, so unfortunately we won't be attending that competition.

Looking forward to Formula Student Austria and Baltic Open.
