The last major project that we undertook was to design and
develop a single cylinder motor cycle engine for racing. The work was
undertaken for the manufacturer of the engine with a view to improving
performance and reducing weight. At the outset this was a tough challenge,
however now the engine produces approximately 63 BHP – doesn’t sound like a lot, but if this
were put into car terms this would be a normally aspirated 2 litre engine
producing 250 BHP straight from the crate and weighing less than 30 kilograms.
Not bad I think you’ll find.

ebdEarth csv2kml - converter
application new logo |
|
The Engineered By Design csv2kml Application, called "ebdEarth" - To see what it is all about click here
Items added / updated:
- Time Range support - If date range is selected
then there is the option to narrow that selection
down further to a time frame window
- The option to pin or unpin the application on
top of other windows has been added (to make drag & Drop
easier)
- The Push Pins are now not created in a separate
kml file, they are added in a sub-folder of the
main KML file
- To add the Ave & Med Pushpin options, these
add a pushpin into the google earth map where your
selected parameter is at its average & its median.(Average
Value & Probabily distribution) - The Ave will
geographically put the pin at the begining of the
values in the source datafile (As it is a mathematical
function), The Median will put the pin in the geographical
point where the statistical median occours.
- Preview of file type out put added when you hover
over the cursor
- Broswe box / drive list box will be added - so
you don't have to drag and drop (If you don't want
to)
- Clicking on logo launches ebd website in your
browser when no file selected
- If file already selected then asks if
you want to generate KML now?
This version of ebd CSV2KML is a Beta Version,
and will contain bugs. If you have any problems, please
e-mail me at webmaster@engineeredbydesign.co.uk.
Please notify me - dont assume someone else has already reported it. As the developer, I operate the application
in the grain that it was written, therefore, I often miss glaring problems that are immediately obvious to
everyone else. Help make this tool better for everyone else by reporting bugs. Just say ebd SCV2KML crashed
when I did this If I need any more information, I will ask you to send me the log file. Thank you for your assistance.
Please don't limit your feedback to bugs - I'd love to hear your comments, suggestions, and criticisms.
If you have any ideas for this website, or know of something that should be included in the documentation, please
let me know. |

Screen shots of different versions from
1.3 to 2.0.0.1 Beta version:

Above left shows the original layout, next is version 2.0.0.0 Beta Then an example of the new Extuded Graph output function, Finally, the interface as it will be currently V2.0.0.1 Beta
Updated the ebdSoftWare page
- Version 2.0.0.0 Beta of the ebd csv2kml coverter
has been created. The exe file can be download here.
You will need to run the installer first, then just
run the beta executable instead of the exe that is
packaged in the msi...
The Engineered By Design CSV2KML App, is
an application is designed to convert files downloaded
from the dataTaker DT8X
range of data loggers, (specifically the DT85 in
our example), that also use a GPS reciever, such as a Garmin
18 LVC to log parameters against GPS coordinates, to Keyhole
Markup Language (.kml file), used with Google
Earth. This enables you to log & track parameters for testing and development with the added data of where
they occoured.
This can be very useful in the design & development
of new products, especially vehicle development, where you need to be able to demonstrate geographically where
certain conditions are exhibited. - For example, at a certain
altitude, or specific sequence of hillclimbing or after
a set of corners etc... Click to download a user
guide in pdf format for the ebd CSV2KML converter application.

Click thumbnails above to save sample files. - The KML file
you will have to right click & choose "Save Target
As" or "Save As". This is because KML files
are a type of XML, Xtensible Markup Language, which is often
used for online content, so Internet Explorer or FireFox
will try & display the contents. |

DTC's - Diagnostic Trouble Codes:
What do they mean?
|

OBDII Connector Pin-outs
The DTC value will help you narrow down the specific component
or module in question. A DTC has a standardized format that
can be interpreted as follows:
The first part of the DTC is the Alpha Designator. The alpha
designator can be:
B - Body electronics (i.e., door and hood latches)
C - Chassis (i.e., traction control or ABS)
P - Powertrain (i.e., engine, transmission, or engine support
components)
U - Network communications for the different control models
The second part of the DTC, is a three or four-digit numerical
series. The OBD-II specification has reserved the first 1,000 entries
for a core set that are uniformly implemented across all vehicle
manufacturers. DTCs after the core set are available for manufacturer
specific uses.
Type of Code will be 0 for the core set, or a
value of 1 - 9 for manufacturer specific codes. The Indicated System
and Specific Code Number further narrow down the code to a
specific component or system.
