So you're asking for another ID field, something like an application ID?

Should be doable with insim I guess. Anyone who isn't the pit area just before a race restart receives a 1 race ban or something like that

I once used this driver to make a rev bar. There's also an article which introduces you to it:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/csppleds.aspx

I've done some work with an mega169 before which had a 7seg display and 8 rev lights which wasn't hard to make with c#, because serial communication is very easy in .net
I haven't played yet with servo's and using that as a tachometer, so if you finish the project i'd like to see the code

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

You can use a potentiometer or a variable resistor. But the question is how would you get Windows to recognize these pedals?

I made my own pedals with this controller

Quote from BlueFlame :

why are these links from Imageshack and Imagevenue only Thumbnails Deggis? what's the point posting them, they are so small I can't see SHIAT or is there some software needed for Imageshack and imagevenue to see them full?

click on them dumbass

I think the wheel looks nice with it's thicker wheel and bigger wheel diameter. However, those shifters look horrible.
It also looks like the brake to throttle spacing is even bigger on the porsche wheel, which makes heel and toeing even more impossible I guess... Can some beta tester give his view on that matter?

It is probably you who is dumb. You've been here 3 years and didn't know there was a US embassy only ~30 km away? And besides, your passport probably expired already, and most definitely your visa, which makes you an illegal alien. So why don't you just run to a cop when you see one, tell him you're illegal, and you'll be kicked back to the US. Saves you and your sister some dough and the horrible experience called "The Netherlands".

And I liked it how you keep bringing up the "dutch people dont speak english" excuse, because it is probably you who can't speak proper english.

well thanks for putting the tread back on topic.Just what the poster had in mind disrespectful people that don't have any respect for others feeling or things. cant read rules or fallow them.

It was you who came with your personal story in a bug report, so all blame goes to you.

WoW what part of Zero income for 3 year dont you understaind What part of being locked in a apartment dont you understaind what part of I dont even know how to use the Phone in this house when everyone on the other end of the phone is speaking dutch and i know none

Ohh come on, I moved to Holland too and everyone in this country can speak English quite well, contrary to you.
The fact taht you're being "held hostage" with internet access and that you find an excuse for every argument lets me believe that this is a great story (and it's getting shakier by the forum post).

Quote from msmolt :

theres not one here. closest one is in london And I have no passport or any ID as to who I am.

For someone going to a foreign country you know significantly little about it.
There is an embassy in the hague (why wouldn't the US have an embassay in holland )

Quote from msmolt :

I tryed to file a form for lost Passport but she wont give me the phone # to the apartment we live in and its required to finnish the form.

You can buy a telephone number in virtually any supermarket.

Either you are incredibly dumb, or this is a great story.

From my experience you can do 3 things:

1. You can just stay passive and do nothing, as he didn't do anything (yet), but this will not the the solution for future 'events'.
2. You can confront him and whoop his ass in a public place (like in the quad, or in the classroom), so he'll be humiliated in front of people he knows, and spends his days with. However, if you chose this, you'll have to be prepared to deal with the aftermath.
3. Get some friends to whoop his ass. This will create a smaller backlash at you. It will also send a message to him that if he does something again, he can expect multiple people to retaliate against him.

I think you should choose between 2 and 3, depending on how he'll act after 2 or 3 gets executed.
If I were you, I'd choose 2 because I don't mind having a possible nasty aftermath.

Was a very sucky game, the patriot offensive team should be ashamed of how many times brady was sacked and how they couldn't give brady the time needed.
The Giants were great though, seen some great plays of them.

Usually this indicates that some program is using the TCP port already, and you can't have 2 different programs "binding" themselves to 1 port.
Maybe you are running lfs twice, try to select a different port (if you're hosting I guess).

Quote from MR_B :

I personally love the side pods of the old jordans yum yum.

I know , back then the cars looked way better.

Sure I made something like this, but it will be a tad more expensive then this.
I started with AVR microcontrollers cause they're cheap and fast, and as soon as you figure out (or copy and paste code) how to do UART communication, PWM and charlieplexing, you're almost done.
The biggest advantage over this TI chip is that the community is huge for AVR's, and you can ask everyone for help (and avr's can run on C, big plus)
As soon as you figured out how to do everything on serial, you slap on a FT232R chip on it so it can be used with usb instead of serial port (and maybe even power it if you stay under the power maximum of usb).

A thing that you can do, is to take a look at this guide and just simulate the code in AvrStudio so you can get a taste for it.

Some lightweight encryption scheme would be best to counter this, and I hope it will be implemented rather soon, because packet injection is seriously easy.

A jordan 196 perhaps?

lol, indeed.

You'd think someone with an expensive car at least got some form of education to understand what paragraphs were all about

Quote from MR_B :

samey

Indeed the best word to define the new renault

Now that I've done some more reading, it should be quite easy to control this thing and it's a especially cheap way to control 64 outputs. Sucky thing is that there aren't a lot of sample programs in not-sucky programming languages

edit: This is my take on how it would work

You send the first frame, which sets the baud rate, address and data bit 0-3. After you sent that you send the second frame which is exactly the same except that it has data bits 4-7. After the receiving of the 2nd frame, SOUT will go low which prolly indicates that the data bits and address bits have been set.
Now, depending on the address bits(A0, A1 and A2 can be 000 to 111), you send the data bits through specific wires.

Dont kill me if this is wrong, but this makes sense in my head.

edit 2:
I was totally wrong, A0, A1 and A2 are inputs.... I suck.
I guess that's why I prefer making my own things with ic's instead of figuring these things out.

That looks mighty complex while I have some parallel port experience, but i'll try to find some more info about this thing.
Best thing you could do is to give kada_cz a pm, he knows a lot more about parallel ports then I do, or just move on to micro-controllers like me.

I like it a lot, there is a definite interest in spec setups I think.

I have to agree with JB here, it was totally your fault as the guy was already next to you.
Nice T-bone in T1 too, I hope it doesn't become your signature move.

I agree, that was 1 bad review tbh. All that I saw was g25 bashing and fanatac praising for useless features like wireless pedals and an attached gearshifter.

And did he really say the g25 pedals were too close to eachother?


and no, i'm not a g25 fanboy

well, being "green" is all about recycling. Even toxic dump like an arrows
