LabVIEW replaces vehicle ECU - University of Waterloo

Visit: http://vishots.com/2007/12/13/labview-replaces-vehicle-ecu-university-of-wate...
Stephen Litt, a systems design engineering student from the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada) shows us how he and three other students replaced a vehicle ECU with a CompactRIO module running LabVIEW Real-Time. What started as a fourth year design project has now turned into a start-up company called WaterlooSPEED. The team documents their efforts on their blog, and describe how they have the system controllable via a PDA! Now that's cool.

Love the tec Idea using the compact Rio and the FPGA tec to allow you to mess with the cars system cool well done !

Ever heard of common sense? Putting on a big rim and a small tire does not make "stance". Also, putting chromed wheels off of a hillbilly haywagon doesn't make "stance" either. Don't discount me as a kid just because I have "KID" in my name. If you like the look of tires that don't fit on a rim that's too big, then good for you, but most of us real gearheads don't, because there's no advantage to it.

That Dub is beautiful- hey Suzuki KID, ever heard of stance? This car is perfection- the wheels make the car.

Sickness indeed.

Your wheels are extremely ugly and you have no idea how to match your tire size with your wheels. Way too much stretch in the back bro. Learn how to set up the simple things to be taken seriously since most real tuners don't like riding on their rims.
