    CAN bus is pretty easy to implement, just add an RS232 to CAN converter and hook it up to the UART output on the STM.
    Don't forget to make use of DMA because it makes everything so much easier.

    I really think the shifter interface could be made much cleaner. I've pondered about this for a long time because I have a T5, but on that CD009 with the external shift rail it should be much easier. Really you've got a "barrel" and "throw" action, it should be possible to automate the barrel using a servo motor (not hobby servo, a proper servo motor) and handle the throw with either an actuator or pneumatics. Back in the day a team used parts from an Aston T56 to make a computer controlled shifter for a paraplegic racer in the Mustang series. I know you're married to the CD009, but a T56 with those Aston electronic shift components could be a nice alternative.

      Maxx ecu is the main one for dct gearbox. Ecu master at the moment you still need a standalone controller (couple available), where the maxx will keep the transmission ecu happy. Would be much cleaner simpler setup for sure than this.

Of course develiping things by yourself is more fun and you can learn more, but if you need fast and reliable gear changes its better to youse something which is known on the market.

    Congrats on 100k The paddle shifter as a engineering exercise is pretty cool. Seems completely unnecessary for this project given the broad torque range and power.You only have to shift a couple times per lap. For me the simpler you can make a race car the better, less weight and more seat time.

  • @TT.357
    @TT.357 Před 2 lety

    I would personally like to see the whole mechanism cleaned up and shrouded to some extent. I think you could loose enough weight by cleaning that mechanism up to rationalize putting some kind of protective cover over it. I understand that you like having the ability to shift it manually, buy I think a good goal to set would be to make it reliable enough to not need that backup.
