HYD-R

I have been looking for our last years race videos and i remembered that i friend of mine posted a marvelous video shot of HYD-R from time trial runs. After that shot ( Approximatly 1 min later) that car was crashed and turned upside down. No injuries, car was still working. Here is the video.

Telemetry System Updates

I have'nt been writing for a long time thus i will give a update about telemetry system.

Telemetry System's monitoring app is nearly finished ( just a few hundred lines missing :)). I have finished telemetry systems GPS, RS232 communications, RS485 Communications and GSM modem threads. But there is a problem with Moxa's IOLogic 4000 Series library not being compitable with W345 Embedded Computer. So Moxa is working on this issue. I hope they can finish before Shell Eco Marathon.

I have switched to the telemetry system for HYD-R which is formly a hydrogen powered vehicle beacuse of lack of time to finish barracudas telemetry system and port them to hyd-r. So after finishing HYD-R telemetry I will port it to Barracuda.

You can view photos of HYD-R and Barracuda HERE.
