That looks very interesting, thanks for the suggestion!

Right, I couldn't leave this alone so I am building yet another DAC main board and trying out a few suggestions and ideas that came up with the existing builds. This time since I needed to get the DAC pcbs made I also stumped up for the stencil too. This made the job of fitting the tiny SMDs much ea...

Yes, I guess it does make sense to have a separate battery - just _why_ horrible lead-acid? Tesla are only now starting to use Li-Ion.

That is true, my bad. Could happen to any ICE car.

But my question (off topic!) still stands as to why BEV need a 12v battery in addition to the main drive battery? Cost maybe? I haven't found a reason that sounds plausible online.

Looks like that's the 12v battery rather than the main 400v one. Poxy lead-acid thing. There _must_ be a better way than using a lead-acid for the electronics.

Nice work!

For me too and i was on the same latitude.

Let's see what next year brings... But 1st I'm waiting for the updated prices for the room, they are planning to add charges for room hire, before I even think about next years Thanks Steve. I would happily pay a bit more to cover any room charge. I would also happily organise an event next year bu...

Build an RTZ DAC! You know it makes sense.

Just in case anyone was interested, the music I played was this:



I actually played the wrong track, which is why I was concerned it was going on a bit long.

(However, it's all good!)

Got home too, after a leisurely drive back via the A628 and a stop off in Penistone for lunch. (Mainly because I've been past it many times but never walked around there - plus it has a silly name!) Nice place! :-) Fab views over the Woodhead Pass - just a pity there's nowhere to stop to view it and...

Car felt like a sailing boat coming over the M62. It's damp here for sure. The lane has a lot of puddles.

OK, got here! Anyone else around yet for festivities?

Then you didn't consume sufficient quantities!

I am very vague about that evening...

Thanks Steve for all your work organising once again. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that you've held this event together over the years, through difficult times and challenges. It's morphed from what it was back at Eggborough and that's also a reflection of the way people have learned and moved t...
