Full Engine

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.

BAR to PSI to KPa Converter
BAR (1 bar = 14.50326 psi)
PSI (1 psi = 0.06895 bar)
KPa (1 psi = 6.8948 KPa)
  
Bar is a measure of pressure. 1bar = approx 14.5 psi, this equates to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.

ebdEarth csv2kml - converter application new logo - 09/2008

ebd CSV2KML V1.3.0.3

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.

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 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.

Trouble Code Diagnosis

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

 


 

Understanding DTC's

OBDII ConnnectorOBDII 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.
