5 days of coding and a bottle of calvados later

my vehicle security device is progressing

I finally have the main unit (one of 3) programmed and ready for testing

the program compliles ok

now it remains to be seen if what it actually does, is what I intended it to do (if you have never done any coding, you would perhaps be surprised at the "reality gap" that can appear here )

so test build time tomorrow (hopefully)

btw for the geeks

Its built on the Arduino Uno platform

it uses a near field rf card reader as the set/unset

And there is an additional layer of security in the fact the same card is used a s a smart card "start" switch as in some renaults and hondas

this is to be fitted to a (very) insecure Landrover defender 90

extra security has also been fitted to prevent access "under the bonnet" to prevent any attempt to "hot wire"

looking good.....

it all depends on how good my coding is


(its shite)

coding is NOT my forte

I can build almost anything electronic

programming it is shall we say an excercise in the painful....


but hey...I like a challenge


dont like C very much though

its not as amenable as spectrum basic.....

Have you tried the Arduino programming software ?

Have you tried the  Arduino programming software ?

as in ???

I have the arduino tool for programming

is the arduino stuff good? I have seen it online and thought about trying it.

does it need soldering?

I can code but C languages are not my forte. Java and BASIC are what I mainly use.

its very good indeed Veya,

cheap clones (which are very good quality) can be had very cheaply from chinese sellers on ebay....
as well as the "shields"

very little soldering needed most of it is pin headers and patch leads

(unless you are doing something horribly complicated (like a vehicle security system)

all the software is available on the net and is "open source"

actually C aint too bad...in this application, quite close to basic in fact(though it has its "quirks")

So yes then ....and i guess in complies the C++


Ps you know they are NF dll`s already available apparently

Basic and pascal for me ...but not for a long time my son does C++


ps....again
i have a spare usb smart card reader f you need it courtesy British gas

Could i have all that again please? this time in English!

the element of surprise

If it weren’t for C, we’d all be programming in BASI , OBOL and PASAL

Q: How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. It’s a hardware problem.




ok i will stop now

hehehehe

oh dear.......
