Nope. ECUs have something called a "fault memory" where the last n detected errors are stored, and that can be recovered. This is actually what workshops use for diagnosing a car. …

Yeah, firmware is another issue. You read and flash firmware or parameters often directly over that CAN bus. There is nothing to validate that, for one manufacturer, I needed passw…

Literally: I have successfully sent CAN messages that were understandable to ECUs with an Arduino while waiting for a delivery of real hardware. There are Arduino-GSM shields that …

Yip. And if you can query any ECU, and know what you are doing/have more information on the system, you can get higher level security access (and that information, is again, not TH…

Lights for instrumentation (inside the car). At least on the systems I worked with. I'm not much of an expert on that bus. Well, messing with this bus (audio volume.. blinking disp…

Not surprised. I built automotive test benches for some time. The moment you have something that can remote-access the CAN-bus, you have a problem. There are typically only a few b…

As a young adult, I studied in a country (had a flatshare there) and took the train (2hrs) at the weekend and during the holidays to stay with my parents. I guess lots of people cl…

If you are a very experienced programmer, you program LabVIEW (one of the major visual languages) almost exclusively with the keyboard (QuickDrop). Let me show you an example (gif)…

Agreed. We (engineering department in a medium scale scientific facility) use 3D printing for rapid prototyping and as temporary solutions. Quite often, people walk into my office …

They are building one of those betatrons in Petawatt in Czech Republic - ELI Beamlines project.

Happy to see another LV user here. Organization gets much, much easier once you get the big architecture concepts - produce/consumer patterns, messenger-queues, event structures, a…

Will try to attend.
