Hi janosch, Appreciate the heads-up from someone who has been there before! Like you I was a bit surprised by how much the integration bled across subsystems. I like the egg analog…

If you're interested then click the link in my first reply (which is to a newer post). The first video shows the working car reaching 8000rpm (about 80km/h) around six seconds afte…

> I think you were emulating the ABS module right? In that case, the spinning out of control is actually probably your fault. If you had not emulated this, the system would realise…

> So wheel speed sensors drop out and the car will accelerate uncontrollably? No, I don't think any of my bench tests suggest that for this car. The torque is minimal throughout, s…

Hey! Post author here. I appreciate the insight from someone who's worked on this kind of thing formally, thanks. > Most likely what’s happening is that the creep torque is applyin…

(Blog author here) You're spot on about the PLL stage, a few people on Reddit pointed the same thing out when I first posted it. Makes sense, although I still think it's interestin…

I haven't tried any of their other products, but the iMX6 has a very large detailed technical manual (publicly available, not under NDA) and their Linux kernel trees are updated in…

Freescale i.MX6 is a really nice platform. Shame it hasn't gotten broader traction, I think because it is moderately more expensive than its competition. Since May I've been using …

I expanded this comment into a blog post, and corrected some of the factual errors in the comment: http://projectgus.com/2013/06/sonys-open-source-smartwatch/

On the optimistic front, with a bit more digging I found this comment from Jerker Lindgren Götsten (Sony Mobile): http://developer.sonymobile.com/2013/06/13/were-opening-up-s... "T…

Rather than "open sourced" all I see is "a bit open specced". Yes, the "hacker guide" has details of what chips are on the board, and how they are connected: http://developer.sonym…

Any recommendations for a startup graduating from emails and Skype chats to a ticket management system for support and keeping track of development? Desired features: - Relatively …

I agree anyone seriously wanting to host that many photos will not want to split accounts, but FWIW statistics (current Pro feature) don't seem to be offered at all any more.

A number of things - the Z axis seems loose, the other axes skip steps (possibly the stepper drivers overheating), general issues with bed adhesion and warping. All common 3d print…

Selected Yes, but I really meant "I have one and it doesn't work properly, haven't touched it in months and wondering if I should get rid of it." :/

Is there a Hackerspace near you? http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces (If there's not one nearby, you could always start one... when I cofounded a hackerspace I met a…

Google disabled access to /proc/config, which makes the process of building a vaguely compatible kernel all the more like guess-and-check. Is there really no .config in their GPL r…

FWIW I have access to an Eagle license but prefer to use Kicad whenever I can. In no small part because of the Linux app being clunky (also because Kicad is FOSS.) The annoying thi…

Ah, right, thank you. I hadn't realised they weren't importing, just accessing. I'm not a feedly user so I don't mind but thanks for the link to the suggestion, good to see it's be…

As far as I can tell Feedly has no OPML export feature, so if it eventually goes away it's a dead end for users. (Please prove me wrong, but I searched the site and also installed …
