Another awesome DECA!

Cheers to all organisers and volunteers, turned out to be a fantastic day and great weather too! Was good to meet some new people and see everyone giving it a good shot!

Ive got tonnes of video footage, what/wheres the quickest/easiest way to upload?

..and only 12 weeks till the next DECA, thats crazy!

Ive got tonnes of video footage, what/wheres the quickest/easiest way to upload?

use vimeo, way better quality than youtube.

http://www.vimeo.com

and if you are using a mini-dv camera, check out this tutorial on using free software called handbrake to compress them for uploading/vimeo/etc. quality comes out great.

pm me if you need a hand

haha so many people reading this thread and not much posting, me thinks that every one is just waiting for the vids,

i think there was HEAPS of vid footage this time compared to other times, thats why everyone's hanging out for it.

Well for a trip I really couldn't be arsed making it turned out to be an awesome weekend! Big thumbs up to the guys for making the trip down from NSW - you guys were great. Soooo many stories I could tell but as Al said what happened is Shep stays in Shep. Dee and I took lots of pics so I'll get them up tonight, there is sure to be some good one plus a video of the huge brawl at the Ausssie :) Big thanks to Stavros and Percival for the entertainment also!

Some of my highlights include -

The double tower of heart attack power burger that Adrian and I made for our lunches - Ash you're out of a job

The ride in Steve’s FAST GTR and drive in Al’s FAST GTSt – some seriously awesome cars

Funnels, funnels and more funnels

Sarah + Margarita= funny! :)

Honorary Brisby - my replacement drinking partner till the real Troy is back

“How good to I look after having a baby 5 weeks ago – pretty good huh” then being given a phone expecting to see a picture of her baby only to find her in skimpy underwear while being harassed by her mother – that was almost Wangaratta “mother/daughter threesome” the second!

Having to prevent a mother/daughter try to drag off a overly intoxicated nameless SAU member ;)

Dim Sims at 1am – mmmmm dims sims!

NOT going to the strippers and being served Scotch and Dry's with no Scotch! :)

yep, definetly hanging out waiting for vids and pics to be posted :)

well as per usual I'm slowly ripping and uploading video.

1.3 Gig uploaded so far, should be another 1.5 - 2 Gig to go

will link when they are done

the GoPro external cam seemed to work ok.

Footage was nice but sound was crap, need to work on the settings.

higher quality will be avalibe when rest of stuff uploaded but to give an idea:

HAHAHAHAH

DECA is great - thanks everyone for an awesome weekend.

LOL @

* Funnels on Friday night as soon as Adz arrived (before dinner)

* Antics around the pool

* Schmiko and all those black smirnoffs

* Gate!!!

* Shane not being able to hold a convo at dinner

* Walking into the Aussie Bar (just me, Dee and Kylie) and straight into the middle of an in-all-brawl

* Ryan pretending to be gay

* Wayne :)

* Leon - aka "Stand in Brisby"

* Sarah drinking 1/3 of a margharita and Adz finishing it

* The 2 old sleezeballs at Rawhide

* Eating food from Mobil at 3am coz someone thought it would be tastier than the hot dog van - im not sure how, but it was better

* Adrian on Sunday morning - "Why are my pants wet??"

awesome weekend - pretty much a perfect day for it. Definately a fan of the flying finish.

Thanks to everyone that made the day's events possible.

night time shenanigans lived up to the hype hehe - had a bit of everything :) oh and we had one of those hot dogs from the hot dog van (first dog off the rank too) and i reckon not much would have come close to it at that time of night!

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
