Needs A Title


Is this thing on? Did I say that out loud?

Major Success!

What you see there is the first time I have successfully connected a web browser running on Android to a Speeduino ECU via a direct USB connection. The read rate is poor as it was a very old Motorola that is normally my Squeezebox controller, but it was to hand and had a USB-C socket on it. I have got over 60Hz on a desktop browser. This has been a major chunk to get working and is vital for the plans I have for VE Tuner.

VETuner Progress

I’m having so much fun with this! The main thing of note is that I’ve ditched echarts for custom implementations of guages, line charts, heatmaps, and 3D surfaces. This has cut about 70% of the bundle size. -rw-rw-r-- 1 dgs dgs 2889 Feb 1 08:24 favicon.cddaee99.svg -rw-rw-r-- 1 dgs dgs 27699 Feb 1 08:24 index.html -rw-rw-r-- 1 dgs dgs 409 Feb 1 08:24 manifest.webmanifest -rw-rw-r-- 1 dgs dgs 32941 Feb 1 08:24 public.

I could use the web interface, but my work laptop can’t connect to my LAN for reasons.

Sloperator

I am a sloperator. I use LLMs where I think appropriate. The trigger for this post is that I’d always been mildly irked that whilst the pages of the blog had tags, they weren’t clickable and were thus a little useless. So I fired up Gemini in the editor and gave it this instruction Each page has categories tags. I want these to be clickable in the browser that leads to a page listing all the posts with that tag And off it chuntered

Diff

My Stupid Car has just got a new limited slip diff, but this isn’t about that. One of the benefits with developing VETuner, is that I can fix all the things that irritate me in TunerStudio. Top of the list is the difference dialog. If you load a new tune file that doesn’t agree with what the ECU has then you are presented with a multi-page dialog that looks something like this
