Hi Guys

I need some input. A Mate of mine at work and I, are looking at organising a site, where any forum, or person, or club, can upload their cruise/event/BBQ/whatever calendar, to do with motorsport, cars bikes ect.

From what I have seen there is nothing available for Tasmania, where all the small clubs can post up events and cruises.

So what we are looking at doing, is combining some RSS feeds from all the sites, so that events can be automatically updated (don't as me how, I have no idea how this shit works)

Basically what we are proposing is an index site, based on a calendar or something, where each day can be displayed, and any events occurring on that day would be listed. The description for each even would be brief, with further link to each relevant club ect, to obtain the cruise information.

So what I need is some input, to see if this is a good idea, layouts, how you would like it to look, design ideas

AND MOST IMPORTANT

A GOOD NAME, something that can be easily searched for and found.

The main aim of this site, is to make motoracing more available to people. For example, there are many people that just like to watch drifts, but if you are not signed up to a site and visit regularly, you will not know that there are training sessions held ect.

This site would bring motorsport together, allowing for a full calendar of events a cruises.

I now that Motorsport Tasmania has a calendar, but this does not cover things like the skyline forum, or the Mitsubishi Australia club and so forth.

So fire away.

ALSO, for all those involved in other makes, models of cars, bikes and forums, can you repost this information on my behalf to get some feedback, and report back here.

TTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
