To complement all this class you need to design a crash helmet in the shape of a top hat for sure.
For maximum neck twisting of course
Yes this is a great idea
And a heads up monocle display.
@@petesnell5116 lol
Maybe it could just have a top-hat design? One of the newer super sentai has tophat-styled helmets...
I appreciate you looking out for us EE's and our propensity for aneurysms, I was wondering what i was feeling after seeing those wires.
As a fellow EE, can confirm I felt the same way.
I only got a migraine, might be because I did study to become an EE but never actually got my papers, truly a curse and a blessing
"We started at the bottom, and now we're here... At the bottom"
Epic delivery
You're a man after my own heart Matt. Never finish a project when there something else shiny to distract.
I really need to finish this proj- OOOOH.. Look! Butterfly he he!
"This is pretty simple, I just used an Arduino and a ....." Whoa! Stop right there.
Arduinos are very simple to use, buy one and follow the tutorials. I dare you.
@@mbox314 I have.
I don't have the time to learn C. C is a very dangerous language.
I still maintain using a microcontroller of any sort is stupid if a single passive component will serve the purpose. :)
@Bene Hick Bene, I'm shure it is easy. After a while. Once you get through the learning curve. Like learning to touch type. Millions are using them says a lot. However, I'm wading through MicroPython on a PICO and plan on moving up to an ESP32. Thanx, :)
@Bene Hick I'll have to go back and re-look at it. My problem is with the language mostly. :)
@Bene Hick You're doing pretty good as far as I see. Atta boy! :)
With no shifter or transmission tunnel, this thing is crying out for a bench in the front. Something like the 2.5 seat bench that was fitted stock in the back of the Mk2 would, I think, look amazing up front in place of the individual seats.
Alternatively: Fuck it, a Chesterfield sofa in the back and two flat wing Chesterfield armchairs in the front!
I like the way you think
I had to laugh so hard about your calculations on a crash - it is this offhand voice of yours that sells it oh so well.
Love the project! I wonder if a rotary switch to toggle between temperatures to read would be useful. You could have all of your temperatures on a screen but also have whatever you feel is most important right at the gauge. Then to make it more useful, with the the turn of a small knob you could switch between what temperature is displayed. This way you have two readouts, one on the screen for everything and one right on the dash. This way you don't have to take your eyes as far off the road, all the way down to a screen, while driving. Just a quick peek at the gauge for a "it's okay" or "oh, man, I need to pull over." Alternatively, have the gauge aggregate the temperature feeds and act as an idiot light. Half way up for "normal range", 3/4 up for "you should probably look at the screen and see what's high", and all the way up for "you need to pull over."
Just use it as go no go status
Sounds kinda to my dad's old xj6 where you could switch between the two gas tank fuel meters.
Set some thresholds on temps, then if any breach that threshold, the idiot light comes on to draw attention and note that selected temp may not be the displayed temp, then the gauge starts reading that temp.
Or have it display whatever temp is closest to it's "oh shit" temp so you know to pull over and trouble shoot
Like Bene Hick said show the critical temperature.
Some helicopters I work on have this. It's called an FLI ( first limit indicator. ) and will show the value closest to the limit. You could have have LEDs to indicate which value is being displayed.
0:35 Had to listen again, as I thought he had his head AND two feet out the window! .... really just another plus for the metric system!
When a video drops, I tell my 12yo son "there's a new superfastmatt vid" and then we watch together. Keep up the projects and the style...they are great entertainment and inspiring.
An idea for the temperature gauge: could you have several needles in the same gauge with different colors for the different systems?
That’s a cool idea. Might be hard to implement with physical needles though.
@@SuperfastMatt If not, I think more gauges = more cool (but someone check my math here, please).
@@SuperfastMatt you could just use the original gauge and have a button to switch between the several sensors, and several small labeled LEDs to tell you which one you're seeing
@@SuperfastMatt mechanical watches are a great example of multiple needles on the same gauge
@@SuperfastMatt what about a HUD showing the info ?
Audibly laughed at the seam gag. Your jokes are always just enough, and so well-timed. I hope you enjoy making these videos as much as we all do watching them, Matt.
The bear behind the S600 got me.
I watch this in both my accounts and like it twice, everytime. You are the youtuber I can relate the most in terms of projects. I love the way most things go wrong and you have to remake, redo, try again, every, freaking, time, just like me hahahahaha.
All hail the algorithm (twice!)
Your videos always cheer me up, thanks for that!
On the 2014 Model S the parking brake has its own control box. The electric calliper has 4 pins: The outer are for the DC motor and the inner are labeled Sense and Limit.
That tease at the end tho...
Dude, I literally just got a red carpet in the mail today for my Del Sol. And I've been watching your videos as they come regardless; I swear it's not the algorithm.
Also, pro tip. Stick-on convex mirrors make fender mirrors utterly more useful. The s600 will thank you. Get ones which cover the whole surface area.
Yep, I put them in the lower corners of my van mirrors. Game changer.
Convex is best vex. When driving commercial vehicles I use them almost exclusively.
13:29 I appreciated this bit...
It's nice to see this project progressing.
I'm glad to see I am not the only one to use one project as a work surface for another.
All Hail the Algorithm!
The resettable fuse was used by GM to close the windows. No limit switch. Once a window was closed, the fuse would blow, stopping the current,then the fuse would reset.
Excited to see the finished result! The mirrors and the red carpet is a great choice.
For what it’s worth- you’re my unofficial hero. Love the mix of new tech and old school - and your ability to keep rolling forward. Inspiring as well as entertaining. Carry on!
Mate I only found your channel yesterday and already I'm hooked. For a home project guy like me this is the best stuff.
In the past I have used GM dash stepper motors for dials. Believe they are Switech x27 or x25. There is even an Arduino library to control them without a stepper controller. Has worked great for the couple of cards I have tested with.
I've used these myself in my classic mini. The library is by Guy Carpenter Switec x25. There is also an open source pcb available with flyback diode protection to protect the steppers.
@@hurst_luke great info! thats awesome!
Temp: you could show the highest relative temp, if one system is at 15% of max and another at 75% of max, only the 75% temp will really matter. And when that dial is showing something is off (too high) it's time to check out diagnostics for a more detailed investigation.
Love seeing new vids on the jag! ❤️
My kids thought I was dying I was laughing so hard when you mentioned the OBDII gauge option and how great it could be. Thanks as always for sharing.
i expected you to go with a camera for the rear view stuff, loving this build
Being fast is a fleeting characteristic, but you sure are super smart, funny and entertaining, Matt. 🍻👍
For my father, for a Standard Vanguard (car) rebuild, I used a plastic rod I hid LEDs in, and covered it with the film you can put on your windows -- the silver colored one. (Sorry... Tired non native English speaker : ). The result looked like a chrome detail when off, but with highly visible LEDs for blinkers, handbrake and other warnings when driving.
You could use the same film and even a display to have a lot of details but not looking modern when parked. Kind of like a "smart mirror".
Secondly: analog meters are often just measuring for instance 0-12V. You could PWM a signal and filter it (resistor + capacitor) to be able to feed the old meter directly. No motor conversion needed.
Thank you for the videos!
"We're started at the bottom, and now we're here, still at the bottom" 😂
I liked seeing the Smart bike rack leaned on the wall, and I think I need to get a Fortnine shirt too.
The thing sticking out of the top of the body controller shown at 1:58 is to shed water and prevent it from going inside the case. This was located just under the dash in what was supposed to be a "dry" area. A fellow intern was tasked with solving the issue. When people would get their front windshield tinted, water would from the tinting process would all collect right on the controller, intrude, and blow a ~$1000 part. Watching him iterate and develop this part was really cool.
The mirrors I believe are referred to as “peep mirrors” in the hot rod community. That’s what I put on my “not an El Camino” Ranchero. Great idea integrating them into your smokers window hardware
I thoroughly enjoy your flippant attitude towards safety and motor laws.
Only 1 side mirror is needed in most states, my 1986.5 Nissan pickup came with only the driver side mirror from the factory. Hotrodders are always flippant about motor laws 😁
@@charlesgunzelman3323 My 1968 Falcon came from the factory with only a drivers side mirror, the passenger side was an option as were side marker lights. Gloriously simpler rules for a simper time.
When you add the extra central brake light you might consider a rear camera.
Yeah the shock in their faces when the old jag stops like a new car. Want to see that.
That seat mount is way safer than the factory one
For the temperature gauge you could get a selector switch and have the gauge show what's selected; maybe add an alarm light to flash if one of them is to high.
A job very well done! Keep up the awesome work. Great to see the products in the wild on TH-cam.
Hahahaha, that bit about the seam really got me. I was surprised, like "damn, that IS a really good seam!!".
*GENUINELY FUNNY* thanks Matt
For the algorithm gods - That crash calculation tabel 😂
Bridge the gap between interesting and ill-adviced had me in splits.. Epic videos Matt :)
Still love all the humor in these videos. All hail the algorithm.
Temp gauge - make it display the temp which is the highest, so you kinda-ish know when something is overheating. And/or make it with different backlighting to know what it is showing at the moment
I thought of this as well. I've seen industrial equipment do this for large systems. However this only works if the equipment has the same temperature ranges. Motors Drives Batteries all can have different operating temperatures. You can have a warning light that tells you the that any piece is overheating and maybe a button that allows you to cycle between the different temps though
If the gauges are run by an Arduino, it'd be a simple enough matter to have the gauge cycle through each temperature reading every 5 seconds say,
The Mk2 had chunky big pull switches that could easily be refunctioned with a little inset button for this purpose.
I said "niiiice" at the exact moment when You did, while showing the seat frame flushed with the dynamat. :D
For the temp gauge, I have an idea -
If all temps are normal, the singular factory temp gauge reads 50%. If anything is cold it reads lower, if anything is hot it reads higher. Then you can pull out your OBD2 app to look at what's going on if something is awry.
You can do this if all the important temperatures (batt, motor, etc) are skewed to the same 0-100 (or 0-127, whatever) scale for their normal ranges. Run the needle from all of them in parallel. If any one temperature goes over normal, have the gauge rise accordingly.
Kinda like modern cars, just a dummy gauge that tells you to stop and check on things.
Old race cars would clock their gauges so the normal reading was always at 12 o clock, so you could glance at a dash full of gauges and immediately know if one was off. Same idea, just condensed into one single gauge.
Getting better by the episode Matt, loving the content and the way you frame it all
Loving that you show the processes you go through and how you arrive at conclusions
Brilliance in automotive awesomeness
For the arduino stuff you're doing, something I've used in the past that has worked pretty well is the productivity open P1AM. It's an "industrial" arduino system that's more rugged and is expandable with a bunch of different modules for whatever you might need.
insanely funny and interesting videos, my man. I have nothing to do practically with engineering or even craftsmanship in any kind, but through your videos with you nerding out all about it in this funny way, really makes me geek out about stuff like that. Love from Germany
I relate so much with you, your videos cheer me up a lot.
I have 3 projects running in parallel myself. 2 electric bikes but one of them is a DIY mid drive 8kw and m365 electric scooter complete upgrade.
I start doing one of them, then jump the other then to the other, in the end of the little free time I had I barely did any progress in any of them. But sometimes I do a lot of progress in one of them then I realize I don't have all the parts I need and I get stuck on the same place for a week or two.
Keep Going. You are lucky for living in California! Cheers from Poland
All hail the algorithm! Red on black, my favourite, colour pairing just upped the level of this project from 10/10 to "Spinal Tap" status 😉.
Glad I subscribed! Your videos are above par! I like the content and the editing is really quite well!
I work with engineers all day every day… I’m your “proof of concept/feasibility guy” so projects like yours really interest me amd you’ve got great content!
Your videos are some of the best on youtube, love the humor, love the knowledge. I like the DIY LED 3rd brake light idea and am excited to see what you come up with
Your videos are some of the best and I am always looking forward to the next one!
Best use of a chart ever. I almost wet my pants.
This has rapidly become one of my favorite channels. Thanks for the spreadsheet, the wirebarn wire is fantastic.
One of the best things on the internet. Keep doing what your doing. Respect is Due from West Wales, UK.
your project updates are of those peaceful islands i really look forward every week while not weekend happens. I enjoy your channel a lot, keep up the excellent work you are doing!
originally came here for the cheaply done sleeping conversion of your car, stayed for everything else. 🙈
All hail the red algorhitm! Great stuff Matt, keep it up!
The crash data and the hidden/not hidden seams were bloody brilliant. I love watching your videos. Any day I can be entertained while learning some "non-engineering, non-legal" things, is a good day. Thanks Matt!
I love that this man understands and appreciates the fact that any engagement is good engagement
Use a (hidden) 4-position dial knob switch to show the different "important" voltages on the vintage voltage indicator...
Matt your channel is just the best, great stuff, tanks for sharing.
Thank you. Want so much more about this project. Please please please. Give us dust collection videos. We just love this one.
Your opening describes my current project EXACTLY. I haven't done squat to it since I got it driving, and now I don't have space to remove the interior to do those last few things I ran out of time for so that I can finally install the carpet and headliner. 😑
Lovin' a Jag update Matt 👍. Thank you. 😎
You might check into a Ultragauge for having a small, simple monitor that plugs into the OBDII port that doesn't require an app. You can get one that connects to an app, but they also have one with a screen that can pull the same canbus information and display it. I have one in my land rover discovery2 to monitor engine temps (and a few other things) and it works really well.
Dang thanks for the advice and the heads up on the headache I'm gonna have on my project.....
@4:23 Change back ground from rpm to POWER/regen. Make temp gauge to be selected to show what you are interested to see. Also automatic temp selection would be nice, showing automatically abnormal/high temps. Some indicating leds to show what temp is shown at gauge.
My favorite part is where the seat frame sat level with the padding! I just lave that stuff.
@SuperfastMatt The ruggeduinio is a great piece, I have used 2 in high static environments for grain vending machines.
The red carpet in my Dad's old Jaguar...sooooo luxurious 👍
Depends where you live. In Tennessee my county specifically you just need a hood,dot legal lights, seatbelts, and windshield wipers (no need for a windshield tho), and a license plate light.
My project car has been driving for 10 years now...
You stop noticing loose wires after a while.😁
With temperature have the actual gauge read nominal until one of the sensors hits a predefined limit then whack up the gauge reading so you know something is wrong and look at the phone screen? Sort of a master status reading. Nice to see this moving along 😀
This is probably exactly what I’ll do.
For the temp gauge you could have it display the most important temperature. Then if any of the other temps go above their own max values you've set the gauge will go high to alert you to investigate further with the OBD2 scanner.
yes the seat frame does look good recessed into dyna mat,side mirror looks good too
So good as always! And using one project as the table for another project is so relatable.
Love your style of videos. Great to see you come back to the Jaguar
The Jagsla (Tesuar?) returns! Tesla swapping an old car is one thing I would love to do if I had the mechanical skills to bridge the gap between interesting and ill advised. This is the project that led me to start following your channel. The other projects are sort of interesting (particularly the Honda, but this one is truely exciting.
I really enjoy your channel. I know little about project cars but the lols are worth it!
Love the progress hope to see this in a show one day I’m in norcal though
So weird that the emergency brakes arent automatic. Im an industrial mechanic, all braking systems on robotics, conveyors, forklifts, or other electric equipment is like a commercial tractor trailer: the brakes are locked when unpowered and have to be energized to disengage. That way, if you're driving and the power cuts out, the brakes automatically turn on.
You probably wouldn't want the brakes to suddenly activate due to a power failure while driving, that could cause a loss of control.
Sounds like a bad time if your emergency brakes suddenly engage when you're going 80mph on a highway.
It not a real problem. Every 80,000lb tractor trailer on the highway has brakes like this.
Having the brakes lock is the best case scenario for any driver when the power flips off and they lose function of the steering and braking system.
@@SpecialEDy Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't multiple things have to fail at the same time on a small car for both the emergency brakes and the hydraulic brakes to stop working, so it's already a redundant system? Not the case on tractor trailers unless I'm mistaken.
Most family cars are designed so that you can still steer and stop with total loss of power. A Tesla has two rear parking brakes. If you loose power power to only one of them, and it engages at 80mph, then you are definitely losing control of the vehicle. Much safer to let the driver bring the vehicle to a stop, with all four wheels still providing stability.
Awesome Matt! The only thing I like better than your projects is the fun way you present them in your videos. The Jag is really going to look great IMO.
@SuperfastMatt - Instead of cutting the white fibres off - melt them with a lighter / torch. This will prevent the edge unravelling in future.
I thought you would go for reversing cameras for mirrors! Still the chrome ones look period.
Great channel Thanks Hugh
Lots of great mostly legal advice! Thanks again Matt!
For temperature monitoring I think I'd use a small screen with all of them displayed while you do your first 1000 miles. Whatever moves the most will be the one to monitor as a final gauge and then have a single red LED for over temp for any of the others.
"You don't need to do all those things. It's driving..." = too relatable.
"Go complain on twitter, I don;t go there any way" made me giggle far more than a grown man probbaly should, but I just don't care.
I've built an Arduino controlled multi gauge for my classic mini. A single push switch toggles through each gauge and if a min or max parameter is exceeded it automatically displays that gauge with a warning. The same push switch can be pressed to dismiss the warning. I've used an OLED inside an original gauge housing to keep it looking stock.
Good choice on dtm connectors, those are awesome. The pins are soo easy to crimp
I’ve used too many crappy connectors in my life. It’s all good connectors from here on out.
All hail! Thanks SFM!
Hooray!! New Jag video. Thanks Matt
Saw the red carpet and audibly "oooooooh'd"... only to be joined by your symphony of "ooooooh."
The UHF reference is amazing!!
car is neat but I REALLY like the plaster on wire lath construction of the garage walls, Matt
Great progress, great fun👍🏽
