Find four faults 😝 I had to buy 2 pcs M6x50mm zink plated round inner-head-hex bolts (unbraco) - but found these at 70% discount at thansen hardware store - so I bought a whole bunch of them. Pre-ordered and packaged in a bag. Now that I am home and looked into the package I can see I got 4 wrong types - well, at least it was just 80% correct, but I got none of the ones I needed 😓 It's two hours drive to return them

Stepping up the game with a RIGOL DHO804 oscilloscope 😁

Preparing some serious testing to see what my boards can cope with. Gotta give RIGOL a shout out as they wanted to support the Ctrl MC project and gave me a pretty decent discount 🙏

I just gotta learn how to use it 😝 I suspect it's a tiny bit more advanced than using a multimeter. This will be fun!

Let me know if you want to see a video about it!

Yet another storage space expansion project ongoing. Video soon! Currently fabricating new LED lights for the new storage space. A lot of 3D printing as well. At least 20 hours of printing remains. The picture shows a tiny fraction of what is needed 😊

Boring or Quality Time? It's just your mindset. For me, washing my motorcycle, reminds me of the fact that I actually own a motorcycle. It feels like a privilege and at the same time I feel like I have earned it. Perhaps it helps a bit remembering all the hundreds of hours put into restoring it? Not sure, regardless of that, even if you have bought a brand new motorcycle - you have most likely worked hard, for years, to be able to.

Washing your motorcycle is Quality Time!

Molde town is not the most crowded city in existence, but it has its charm 😏

The first trip of the year in the Elefant adventures series had a wet start. It has been 5 hours with rain, out of 7 hours total ride time so far. One hour remaining today, it's still raining. The good news is: it's gonna stop raining when I arrive 🥴

What have I forgotten? That's what's going through my mind right now 😅 Elefant Adventure series season 3 is starting right now! Instead of fixing the remaining issues in my motorcycle, and then going on an adventure trip - I decided to do it the other way around this year 😁

The first Ctrl MC device that looks like a real product! I used some of the dev boards I had and made a canbus sniffer. Tested it with SavvyCan and it works nicely. The system uses standardized canbus protocols (both CAN 2.0 and FD CAN) and a canbus message DBC configuration file. I have mostly used Kvaser DB Editor to configure canbus messages. The open source Python system: Cantools are used to generate the C helper methods for packing and unpacking messages from the system.

The system uses well established standards, making it highly compatible with other systems, reliable and efficient. This looks very promising!

Running a stress-test today. The turn signals have been blinking for one hour so far, and they are still in sync 😁 I considered for a second to set up a live stream: testing the Ctrl MC system minute-by-minute 😂
