Hacking the Sureflap Dual Scan Cat Flap


 To get the RFID codes for the 134.2 KHz Cat chip ID's

 Aha! A PIC. And an ICD port next to it. PICKit3 at the ready.
I'd quite like to get the firmware off this if possible.

    How far did you get with this? I’d like to insert a WemosD1 or ESP into this...

    Me too. On the bottom side I have 5 larger connection pads on the pcb. I wonder if those are some kind of ttl connection...

Getting FlashFloppy onto the Gotek SFRC922D

These flash floppy emulators from Gotek are great. But they are even better when they have the FlashFloppy firmware loaded. The SFRC922D model I have seems to have some extra holes under the serial/boot jumpers. I chose to use the USB/DFU programming method for which you will need a USB A-A cable. Here's how I put the Gotek into boot mode for DFU: Jumpers for boot/DFU mode. Wirelinks above the white connector. Once in boot mode you can program the device using the dfu-util: I'm using OSX, and used homebrew to install the dfu-util. brew install dfu-util dfu-util --list dfu-util 0.9 Copyright 2005-2009 Weston Schmidt, Harald Welte and OpenMoko Inc.

Handling and Tyre wear patterns

Racing last night at Bashley the car was still quite unstable. For the last few races I have been changing one setting at a time to pin down which are making improvements. So far I've stiffened the front springs, moved the shock positions on the rear and toed out the steering a little. The car was better but still quite hard to tame the back end.. If you look closely at the tyres you can just about make out that the insides of the tyres are a little duller meaning that the majority of the cars weight has been on the insides even during dynamic handling. This is a big clue to start looking at the camber adjustments. Camber is the angle of the wheel relative to the track looking from the front of the car. 0 degrees means the wheel is dead vertical. -5 degrees means the top of the wheel is angled toward the centreline of the car. A little negative camber can be useful, but evidently I had too much. I rather unscientifically reduced the amount and in the next heat the car was ...
