First euphoria followed by disaster. This describes the best our debug section for PWR-Boxes.
After spending many hours writing software, the testing phase was extremely easy. Almost every feature was operational from first time. Too good to be true actually.
1 : write everything down. 2 : keep your notes somewhere available. 3 : labels could simplify a lot.
It’s far from our normal habit not to label anything, even not updating a wiring scheme is extremely rare. But in this case we managed to create a mystery in the wiring.
We can hardly count the stuff we had to re-do because we were not happy with the result. The switch panel in the middle of the car is again a good example.
In a late phase we discovered we needed 2 extra switches on the panel, one for the EPS and the other one for the launch control setting.
Despite we struggled seriously with our design tool we have decided to build in the displays. We are quite confident about the HW so we are going to take the risk.
We expect to receive a workaround for the tool next week so best case we only have to rebuild the SW and update the update the TFT’s.
Since we bought an US brand adjustable sway bar (Ireland Engineering) all rod ends were imperial threads. Because it’s much more complicated to find here we had foreseen to re-make them in metrical.
So the new one has M10 threads and because the looks are important too, we had them blue anodised.
