I have pictures
Dr. Chambers, one of the Challenge X advisors, points out the spelling error on the Chevy Equinox we will be working on.
This is my workstation. Those 3 boxes on the shelf are called PXI chassis, they cost between $10,000-$15,000. Their purpose is to run the models for the car and the car’s control system. The simulate them in real time to achieve as accurate real-world conditions. The black box next to my laptop is the driver control system I built. It’s pretty sweet if you ask me, although I didn’t build the box itself, just the circuit inside it.
I had another picture I wanted to show of a nasty blister my roommate got from sunburn, but it came out blurry, so I’ll spare you.
I also have links to some videos I made for a presentation I have to make at Caterpillar on Thursday. The first one is a video of the dashboard simulation. (It’s about 10.8MB). The second one is a video of the driver controls in use. It shows the the process used to achieve the results shown in the first video. (It’s only about 2MB).
In other news, I’m flying to Boston next week for a ChallengeX LabVIEW conference. (Labview is the software I on which I work). It should be pretty sweet. I’m going to eat as much free lobster as I can.
