Today I've:
  • Tuner work progressing nicely.
  • Wrist recovering with discipline and care and rest.
  • Ravage review completed - twice! :-) PCB design looms pending some sub-circuit testing and dev
  • Ravage game plan in place inc. attempted delegation.
  • New mvn repo URL configured and ready to go for OLV and other DIYEFI J projects.
On the agenda:
  • More tuner development work
  • Finish my sensor thread and commit
  • Add GP low speed output configurations
  • Pull the missing tooth special config out of hard-coded land
  • Get Andy a usable ignition setup in the base code
  • Work on some key documentation stuff
  • Modify the MIGHTY Rommelsbacher more (temp sensing/control)
  • Tidy up my component stock
  • Dev new SM for jag/rav
  • Test oven capabilities
  • Test some hardware stuff
  • Work on web skin + source + batch convert process/files
  • Check the N+1 code and make it work for early dizzy 4age
  • Add Alpha-N option to core calcs and config
  • Upload more media and bring some/all of the fb stuff out where others can get at it somehow
That's a short-medium term list, hence longish.

I've been hard at work on the tuner stuff and I'm making massive progress :-) Very satisfying. In a few weeks I should be in complete control of the situation and all users should be better off, having not only a choice over mtx, but also the ability to tune a stack of tables that were previously untunable with mtx. Onwards and upwards! :-)

Big progress in the oven thread, go to soldered section for more info. In other news, some people are still being idiots and making my life more difficult than it needs to be:
forker: its time to have truly open forums and chat anyway
grumpy: open is good, dictators are not
forker: dictators are only good for target practice
grumpy: dictators can be OK if they are benevolent and have people skills and get people to constructively work together (linus torvalds would be an example) but other types serve little benefit aside from promoting their own self importance
If anyone gets a link to the new "Fred-free FreeEMS forum" (I love alliteration) please flick it my way; I could do with a laugh.

Fuck this, I'm going to the beach!

I made some good progress for the DIY EFI community at large, yesterday. More news on that as appropriate.

I've not posted for a few days. Things have been busy, in both really good ways, and really bad ways. First some sad news:

It's been a long time coming, but this finally had to happen: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1752

And what amounts to a discussion about the short to medium-term future of the project: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=1748

Surprisingly, quite a few people have taken the opportunity to kick me while I'm down over that thread. However reassuringly, quite a few have also stood up in support, which is nice.

More solid progress on this today. Only a website to go now, and I'll make an announcement in the appropriate forum and link it here. Exciting times :-)

Some GREAT tuner dev has been going on tonight, in both Java and C++ cross checking against each other. Good fun with a responsive and approachable developer at the other end of the wire. More soon :-)
