To prevent false positive, some sort of contact sensor that would interrupt when the hood jumps to the first position after you 2x pull the leaver in the car or press the button. Something is moving in there. A latch or something. May not need both position and contact sensors depending on...
Thanks! Good advice. My car is while and I'm trying to decide if I should just do a black-only or have an accent color also. Just curious what I cost you to do that .
I thought of an interesting algorithm to estimate HVB health. Bin the mi/kWh according to rate of climb (would account for speed and inclination) and ambient temperature. Compare similar bins mi/kWh over time.
It's not always convenient for me to charge at home and I've been charging at work for months. There are several chargers (Level 2 EVSEs) installed at the office parking lot and usually more than one is available, but they are well used.
Today, I swiped my SemaConnect RFID card to charge my MME...
Put a tilt sensor (ie https://www.te.com/usa-en/products/sensors/position-sensors/tilt-sensors-inclinometers.html?tab=pgp-story) + separation sensor somewhere on the hood. When it detects that it's "popped" engage the motor. Would work from a manual pop from the physical pull also.
Have you considered getting an inexpensive GPS USB puck? (around $20 on Amazon) and hooking it up to the raspberry pi? You can read the NEMA strings in using Python and sync it with the data based on the the time. (I assume the clock coming out of the MME's ODB is pretty accurate?) That way you...
Yea, that's what my long-winded comment meant to say. Why didn't they just make them both work the way the fan does? Be careful, or they'll fix it so the slider covers the backup camera.
This happened to me as well. I was trying to put in an address as it popped up. Had to turn off the car, open the door and start over. Makes me want Serious XM even less. I stream my music using Car Play anyway.
Does this mean that Ford will get advertising dollars for add-ons like Amazon...
The tapping gesture is already part of the UX design language, implemented in the Climate control "Auto" button to set the aggressiveness of the fans or turn off. Tap once, low fan Auto, again med, again high, again off. I think that button is right next to the drivers side heated seat. Seems...
I'll look for a hood that might cost less than the repair. Maybe one that costs, say, $1100 without damage and I'll list mine for $950 like the one abve. ?
Agree with above. I should have turned on the front camera. But I thought I had plenty of room. Plus the part thinking that there was no way they would design a parking garage support that far into the lane without labeling it "compact only". Not deflecting blame here at all. Just offering a...
I was parking at a charger mounted on a cement column in a parking garage. The column protrudes into the spot making it a tight fit, but I wanted to get as far in a possible so my tail end wouldn't be hanging out in the driving lane. I'm not used to the long nose of the Mach-e and the parking...
Yea I just looked at the 21P22 list again and GWM isn't on there. I'm just worried because it's a central (Gateway) component and you'd think it would have a lot to do with getting OTAs to run smoothly. I'll ask again nicely. Would have been nice if Ford had been more prepared and had the OTA...
I was scheduled to go pick up my MME from the dealer (long drive from work and home) on Friday. I asked @generaltso to do a quick check to see if they got the GWM Installed. According to FDRS it still is marked as "Available" and they hadn't touched the car since Thursday last week.
I called...
