#pcm draws stuff

[dausy]

Anyway its my birthday. They come so fast. I actually share this day with quite a few people that I know. I plan to spend my day the same way I always do. Just chill. Go to the gym, drink some coffee, play a game, maybe paint a lil. I was adamant I was not working today.

I actually wanted to go to this little cafe place about 30mins away but I forgot they have a time difference and I'd have to leave here at noon to get there at open and that seems like too much of a hassle. I'm usually done with all my normal morning stuff by 10am and then I'm back at home drawing. So idk.

But heres a load of the art supplies I purchased for my birthday. We went over the weekend to ponce city market in Atlanta and I absolutely loved it. I had originally planned on going to the blick store but it was a bit out of our way and PCM was something we both wanted to do and they had a binders art supply there. Binders didn't exactly have everything that I wanted but it was ok. One day I'll have an art area with one of those large wall panels where people clip there paints on the wall so you can see all the pretty colors.

I have a completionist issue as well. My poor dinky sketchbook has 1 empty page left.Just one page. Ive already doodled all over it trying to figure out what to fill it with and I'm always stumped on the final pages. Sketchbooks are fun and all until the anxiety of almost being finished and then the obsessive need to finish it before moving on or else its just forever incomplete. So I have one empty page. I do have...4? not colored sketches too..ugh..I accidentally did the coloring book thing. So I may have to do some ghetto coloring. Make my sketchbook hideous just so I can move onto my mondo huge guy I'm excited to use T_T

chiyuki muses about pop culture paganism and magic

preface: i am not good at sensing energy or spirits or anything, really. I work off of vague feelings I get when I do things (a certain song will give me “Set feelings”, for instance), and pure imagination. I have a vague feeling that I bi-locate, or “astral while awake” or something. study has given me reason to think I am an un-awakened psychic vampire that accidentally siphons from those around me. i am not good at things in general.

but i’m trying. I think something is working, and at the very least it gives me some confidence.

and on that note, i’m going to muse about Amonkhet

The Trials of the Five Gods are a BIG DEAL (tm) in Naktamun. I have gotten feelings from some Amonkhetu god (Hazoret? Maybe Oketra, idk) that amounts to “you are not yet ready for the Trials, but when you are, I hope you will undertake them with all your heart.” So, with that, I don’t think one needs to LITERALLY undergo Trials to follow the Gods or to even use a Cartouche in pcm.

The Trials have a set order and you  need the cartouche of the previous trial to get into the next one. They’re also undertaken with a team of Initiates in what is called a Crop. But with how physical most of the Trials are, that begs the question, what about the disabled? Are they not allowed to try for the glorious afterlife? Maybe they become Viziers, like Hapatra or Temmet, and serve the gods that way. I’m certain Viziers (especially Temmet, the Vizier of all of Naktamun) are granted access to the afterlife and don’t become Annointed.

also we can’t exactly go chasing dragons and shooting poisoned arrows at bird-people. I’m sure someone who is REALLY GOOD at astralling could do that, but I can’t for sure.

So how to do it here on earth? I think one could easily re-work the Trials into something one can do on earth’s physical realm - instead of fighting a horde of beasts, maybe join an organization and build something (it is said Oketra had a Crop build an obelisk to prove the power of solidarity. Easy to work into physical-realm stuff). I think a lot of religions ask the follower to “aspire to a grand afterlife”, so I don’t think it’s too far of a stretch to dedicate oneself to stuff that will “earn” that afterlife.

Monuments and Cartouches -

I think these can be used to invoke the Gods and to gain their blessings. You could ask Them to put a blessing in a cartouche card and carry it with you, or, if you’re crafty, make replicas of the cartouches (I myself plan to make small replicas of the monuments for an altar). Possible effects (you do not have to ascribe to my interpretations uwu): Solidarity: Vigilance - you are aware of threats and never/hardly ever needlessly vulnerable. First Strike - you have the foresight and ability to deal with threats before they get to you at all. Knowledge: Draw a card - Your mind is open. Information comes to you easily, not only at the right time, but maybe even before it’s needed. Ambition: Lifelink - stuff that harms you could heal you instead. Forces that would harm you avoid you, or at least think twice, as your presence gives them “a -1/-1 counter”, weakening or even destroying them. Zeal: Haste - you immediately know what to do in a situation. You are confident enough to jump right in. “Target Creature can’t block” - Obstacles move out of your way, something that would have stopped you before no longer does. Strength - Kinda what it says on the tin, strength. You are strong, physically (and mentally?, though that’s a Kefnet/Knowledge thing more). You have mastery over “beasts”, animals are more willing to help you/work with you.

I don’t think one has to let the warrior-culture-lore of amonkhet stifle one’s desire/ability to worship/work with Amonkhetu gods.

I’m working on honing my bi-locating/astralling so maybe I can “planeswalk” to amonkhet? I’d like to. maybe I’m not cut out for that kind of thing though.... I can’t even feel energy or see auras or anything like that.....

;w;

Monday Mystery: PCM Adapters

This week is merely a minor personal mystery, whose solution I have recently run across by accident. I am plagued with endless mental snippets and snapshots of... cruft, really. Data that I encountered at some point and inexplicably decided to store forever. Most people have this to some extent, I think; mine are just occasionally vivid enough for me to analyze consciously. Sometimes that helps me figure out where to look to ID the image, sometimes it doesn't. I am particularly attuned to things that look 'wrong'. Again, a thing that most people experience -- human brains are great at patterns and even more great at being annoyed when a pattern doesn't complete correctly. My sense of 'wrong' can be subtle sometimes, and half the time I have to dig it out by working backwards from what the wrongness reminds me of and then figuring out what other things remind me of that. It works not unlike my various synesthesias, which means it's probably technically another short-circuit that isn't supposed to be doing that. But I digress. One place it comes in handy is in analyzing the provenance of media, especially video. Every different video format looks distinctive to me, mainly because each one fails in a different way. Scratches on a 2" Quad tape cause different blemishes on the picture than crinkles in a VHS tape; different kinds of film stock have different kinds of film grain; a crap VCD has different motion block issues than a crap DVD. I have so much of this crammed into my head that I once answered a question about it on the Straight Dope Message Board and was promptly mistaken for a Corporation S.Tel.E. I've had for many years an image stuck in my head of a screen full of analog television static, that wasn't. That is, there was a lot of 'snow', but also some areas of the screen tracking from top to bottom that weren't random, and therefore weren't static. The snapshot I have is of that image on a television ('80s style, wood grain) within the frame of what I was watching, so I presume it was in a TV show or a movie somewhere. I have no attached air of creepiness or wrongness, so in situ it was either something unremarkable, or some sort of context-free tableau. There's a decent chance it was in a music video, for reasons that will become apparent later.

It looked, in fact, a lot like this. It transpires that this is PCM-encoded audio recorded onto a VHS tape. Ran into it completely by accident while jamming another entire category page on Wikipedia into my brains. I knew that you could record high-quality analog stereo audio onto an S-VHS tape using a Hi-Fi VCR; in that case, however, you either have to supply the deck with some random video signal or let it self-generate a black/blue screen, because the timing pulses on VHS are all recorded with the TV signal in the vertical blanking interval. No picture, no tick marks, no audio sync. (You don't get anything fun out of the VCR. They generally just refuse to play the tape.) In that picture up there, the video signal is the audio -- it's encoding bits and bytes as 'picture' in the same way Commodore computers used to encode bits and bytes as 'sound' on cassette tapes. PCM stands for pulse code modulation, and is probably beyond the scope of a Monday Mystery write-up. The important part here is that it's an inherently digital way to capture music -- it's also used on CDs -- which is why the signal up there is a lot of hard-edged blocks, instead of the softer flickers of actual static. The deck is using absolute video black for zeroes and absolute video white for ones. [Analog television static tends to look like flyspecks or little horizontal lines because the picture on an analog TV is basically made of horizontal lines, stacked one atop another. The electron gun that draws the picture traces from left to right, top to bottom. Fun fact: About 1% of analog TV static is due to leftover cosmic radiation from the Big Bang. The rest of it is stray signal from other EM sources and the components inside the set. Second fun fact: I was going to post a picture of real TV static for you to compare this to, but I can't fucking find one -- all the clip art I can find is of mock static done in various Adobe products.] I am not entirely sure what the individual bands represent, although I could probably figure it out if I stared long enough. The solid lines down the left are guard bands of some kind, probably data frame delimiters. I can't say the running stripes are the best visual equalizer I've ever seen, but they're clearly responding to the same thing; they flicker faster when either the dominant frequency gets higher or when the signal gets busier with a mess of instruments, which means it's tracking waveform peaks. They all get flickery at roughly the same time, which means they're not tracking individual equalization bands. (If they were, then you'd see the low frequencies respond to the bass drum, and the high one or two respond to high notes, etc., mostly independent of one another.) I assume the L and R samples are interleaved, but VHS tape has at best about 480 lines of vertical resolution and it's running at 60 fields a second, so it's probably too fine in detail and goes by too quickly for the pattern to be obvious. I suspect I saw it in a video or documentary or something else to do with music, because this sort of thing would've been ubiquitous in a recording studio. Before DAT or full-digital production, "digital" masters were done via PCM converters on VHS tapes. We're all used to them being less than brilliant when compared to film, but the reels in VHS cassettes were high-quality mylar tape with metal coating, essentially the same stuff that huge corporations stored their vital mainframe records on -- the recording medium wasn't the bottleneck there. As a general rule of thumb, when working with digital media, video will suck up at least ten times the disk space of audio; if you flipped that, and gave an audio stream the space normally allotted to video, you get a really robust, high-quality, error-corrected signal. from Blogger http://ift.tt/2lOANcn via IFTTT -------------------- Enjoy my writing?

GM scan tool: MDI or Tech 2? original or clone?

Looking for a GM MDI interface or Tech 2 scanner and don’t know which one (original or clone) should you take?

Here you go.

Part 1: GM MDI or Tech 2

Part 2: Tech 2 original or clone?

- How to find the original or fake.

- worth to have a Tech 2 China clone?

Part 3: GM MDI genuine or fake?

- what’s the difference of MDI genuine & clone?

- GM MDI china clone any good?

Part 1: GM MDI or Tech 2

Tech 2 scan tool has become obsolete for shop use as of late. It still has a lot of capability and will do anything you need for the older platforms but it needs the CANdi module to work with any of the new stuff. The MDI is a 1 shot deal for all the newer PCMs and will still work on the older stuff too. I sold my Tech 2 and bought an MDI last year, haven't missed the Tech 2 since. Then again I've got a Genysis scanner I use for all my typical diagnostics & probing.

However, the MDI requires a GM log-in with monthly access to GM's website. That's it's only draw back for the enthusiast who wants a GM caliber scanner. The Tech 2 can be updated within itself and doesn't require the internet, the MDI does.

If you're running a shop, get an MDI. For the garage warrior or enthusiast, get a Tech 2. Just don't fall for these $350 pieces of garbage.

You can say that, Tech2win is a pain the the butt. It never updates security correctly for the 30 day window and that using GM computers and login info. The tech 2 is great for code reading, viewing data. The MDI is pretty much only used for programming but its needs on certain 10+ platforms and all 15+ to view data through GDS. All MDI functions require a GM subscription.

Part 2: Tech 2 original or clone?

First, How to find the original or fake.

It is very simple. The first thing I look, it's the memory card slot, open it up and look at the cover, if you see the stamp of the body exactly original. Next, the original at all wires and Candy use aluminum. As different numbers on the back cover, the photo you will see the difference. Sometimes it comes and all labels need to glue yourself.

Second, worth to have a Tech 2 China clone?

In short, that is a nice piece of equipment to have, very nice!

Aside from working beautifully with OBD2, the tech2 is the scanner for GM OBD1 to use. with the right software (plug in chips like nintendo cartridges) it’ll do some daewoo/suzuki, GM medium duty (meaning bigger than 3500 using non automotive OBD2 standards), and other in the GMdistant family tree too.

In addition to generic codes (P0000-P0999) It’ll do all the proprietary GM codes (P1xxx), actuators, and systems. you can also view fuel trims, emissions readyness (beyond a green LED for all OK) and It’ll talk to ALL the modules rather than just the ECM (and if you get into the $250+scanners, ABS) like BCM, SIR, entertainment, EVERYTHING on a GM. At school I used one with a 91+ cartridge on my 87 S10, so going back further is hit or miss but posible.

To adjust shift points and fuel consumptiona and Speedo, forget it.

The TECH2 can’t do any sort of modding/tuning, only upload GM flashes. At least with legitimate software. I’m sure someone has custom software to do it but there are easier ways nowadays.

Is it worth if you just want to read/clear codes on your own car once in a while, heck no. If you’re doing a lot of work on GMs or want to get a lot more in depth with your car, it’s worth the money. No comment on China knockoff quality, I mean a working tech2, Chinese made or not.

Part 3: GM MDI genuine or fake?

First, what’s the difference?

Therefore, it’s easy to find that the GM MDI 2 multiple diagnostic interface only improves in hardware design and running speed.

But the price ($12000) of MDI 2 is 4 or 6 times as MDI 1 ($150-$300).

So, no matter it’s used for DIY fun or professional repair work, a GM MDI clone of high quality is definitely no issues. Note that there are different versions of GM MDI china clone; and the quality may vary coz they are produced in different factory, especially PCB design. And it would result in various prices. But you will get what you pay for.

Second, GM MDI china clone any good?

GM MDI China clone Working well. Tested with GDS2 v.12.

Device works with GDS2 (Opel). Device works with Tech2Win. (Opel, Hammer) Device not works with SAAB via Tech2Win.

Price: USD259 + shipping cost(based on your country)

Pay via Paypal

Upload photos

The MDI came ready to use with the software installed. It worked since I already had Tech2Win, GDS2 and GM MDI Manager installed on my laptop. It works extremely well and I have no problems with it. The product image at the time I order showed the cable keeper, A/C 12 volt adapter and multiple diagnostic interface user’s guide CD which is used to install the MDI manager software on your laptop. These items were not included. It also said it was Wifi but did not come with a wireless card but with a wireless interface instead. There are two versions of GM MDI interface on China market, cheaper MDI less than US$180 with only USB connection and the other more expensive with wifi wireless connection.

The product would work excellent if you had the MDI manager software already on your laptop.

My device tested with many cars for 4 months. Device works with GDS2 (Opel). Device works with Tech2Win. (Opel, Hammer)

Device not works with SAAB via Tech2Win.

Tested by my own, works with Saab 9-5, 2003, 3.0 It works with tis2000 and tech2win NAO.

My MDI clone works fine with tech2win and also TIS2000 software. Used it for diags and pcm flashing with no problem (through usb port only, cause wifi is unstable for programming functions).

Added a wireless card to that one too, same flawless performance.. Only issue for me is that they all have the same serial number.. So using 2 of them in the same shop with wireless would be impossible..

compared boards from a genuine to this clone, almost identical.. multiple layer pcbs, same tracers, didn’t see any difference except the board labeling was missing on the clone. Wifi GM  mdi good, interface works online. update mdi 100%. offline not that good  for new cars.

Nissan Consult III Plus Ver.46.30 works on MDI interface as well (this is not tested by me, your are on your risk).

Mopars Galore At The 2017 Chrysler Nats! See Over 250 Pixs!

Mopar fans are some of the most dedicated people you’ll find; they’ll stop at nothing to score the most elusive of parts, they’ll comb through acres of machinery to find the right project car, and they’ll travel to the biggest, most important shows to present their pride and joy when it’s finished. On the flip side, those who admire vintage Chrysler iron will trek hundreds or thousands of miles to be in the mere presence of a Hemi car or a winged warrior. These cars are nostalgic, and bring back tons of memories for those who remember them in their heyday, but they are also inspirational for a younger generation. Whether you’re a current Mopar owner, or just wish you were, the huge spread of classic Chryslers at Carlisle is the main draw, and there’s plenty to see.

This 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T was part of a Carlisle-sponsored reunion of “FM3” code cars, designating the colors Panther Pink (Dodge) and Moulin Rouge (Plymouth). Invitees displayed indoors in building “T.”

The 83-acre Carlisle Fairgrounds venue is home to the Chrysler Nationals and has ample space to hold over 3,000 display cars. Most are organized outdoors in rows by body size (A-Body, B-Body, C-Body, E-Body, etc.), but some cars are grouped by special designation and placed indoors. This year, there was a special indoor collection of “FM3” cars, designating the color code for Panther Pink (Dodge) and Moulin Rouge (Plymouth). This one-year-only color (1970) is especially prized and brought a lot of attention. Also indoors was a grouping of Hemi Super Stock drag package cars from 1967—now at their 50th anniversary. Outdoors, there was a “survivor” tent, for vintage Chryslers still in their original preserved and unrestored condition. We’re always amazed to see how well some of these have been preserved, and that most of them tend towards being the more typical family machines.

The burnout competition is always a highlight at Carlisle and this customized 1958 Dodge Custom Royal was the nicest car (by far!) to attempt the feat. Fins are coming back and these cars continue to climb in popularity.

Attendance typically peaks on Saturday, when judging occurs and when special events such as the burnout contest and Daisy Dukes beauty contest are held at the main stage. As Saturday winds down, show-goers settle into the shaded grandstands to view crazy Mopar men incinerate their tires to the sound of a driving music track. We captured the whole thing on our Facebook Video feed (31,000 views and counting!) as the finale peaked with an excellent winning performance by a Super Gas 1972 Dodge Demon. Our personal favorite, however, was by a sweet 1958 Dodge Custom Royal with a healthy Wedge under hood!

We did a double-take at this 1970 Dodge Charger 500. Beautifully patina’d the old fashioned way, it had been sealed with a flat clear and featured a message hand written right on the fender: “please touch me and open the door.”

The Mopar hobby is ever changing, and one of the trends over the past few years is the artful preservation of patina. While some cars designated “survivor” get much of the attention due to doting maintenance by loving owners over the years, other machines are used hard, put away wet, and get little cosmetic relief. When that happens cars can fall rapidly into a state of corrosion, but other rare times, the resulting patina is only on the surface. We saw several cars whose owners had elected not to restore them, but to preserve them in their existing state, freezing them in time, in a matter of speaking. This is typically done to cars with chalky original paint and some percentage of rust scale. Preservation is by means of a clear satin sealer that stops additional corrosion while showcasing what’s already occurred. The result is a classic auto that can be driven and parked fearlessly, and with minimal prospect of further decay. One such 1970 Dodge Charger 500 blew our mind with a label that read “please touch and open the door.” We don’t think we’ve ever seen that at a car show!

Saved from the crusher back in 1980, this 1969 Dodge Daytona has just undergone a complete restoration by Mike Mancini and crew at American Muscle Car Restorations. Given Mancini’s talent for sweating details, this car is destined for certified gold status.

At the other end of the spectrum was the newly restored 1969 Dodge Daytona completed by Mike Mancini of American Muscle Car Restoration in Rhode Island. Rescued from a scrapyard just minutes before it was scheduled to be crushed back in 1980 (along with two 1970 Plymouth Superbirds!), the rare column-shift 440-powered Daytona has been meticulously brought back to factory-fresh condition by Mancini’s industrious band of skilled helpers. Easily the most significant new restoration on the Carlisle premises, we look for this car to make quite a stir as it hits the show circuit, starting with the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals (MCACN) this fall in Chicago.

Prior to the burnout competition, Dodge pulled the 2018 SRT Demon from behind its velvet rope display for a captivating product walk-around by spokesman Steve Magnante. The Demon’s handlers, however, refused to heat the tires for the crowd, even with chants of “burn out, burn out!”

Dodge has long used the Chrysler Nationals as a stage for new product introduction, or at least their first public introduction in face-to-face customer contact. Such was the case for the 2018 SRT Dodge Demon. Chrysler spokesman and Mopar Muscle contributor Steve Magnante did a very nice product introduction on the main stage just prior to the burnout competition, which gave the crowd the overwhelming impression that the B5 Blue SRT Demon would do a smoky burnout, but in a major PR gaff by Dodge, it was not to be. When the Demon motored off, chants of “burn out, burn out!” by the large crowd were replaced with loud, persistent boos. Intel from our Chrysler contacts reported that Dodge brass had specifically forbidden a burnout to be done in front of the assembled crowd. A small bit of trivia may be the culprit: In burnout mode, the Demon’s PCM limits the total number of rear wheel rotations to 400, at which point the computer shuts of the line lock and kills power. Such a performance would result in either catastrophe, or extreme embarrassment for the unlucky pilot!

This sweet 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T belongs to Lisa and Pete Marshall. They won our Muscle Motors giveaway Hemi that we chronicled in a 2016 build-up series, and that we gave away on this very stage exactly a year ago. A four-month thrash by Pete got it installed just in time for the Chrysler Nats.

On display on the Carlisle main stage for most of the show was the 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T of Lisa and Pete Marshall of Malone, NY. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because last year at Carlisle, Lisa won our giveaway Hemi built by Muscle Motors, and sporting a nicely ported set of Edelbrock Hemi heads. Back then, Lisa and Pete vowed to put the 856hp pump-gas Hemi in their Coronet, and that’s exactly what they did—and just in time for 2017 Carlisle. It was great to see Lisa and Pete again, and Pete reports that he even bought a smartphone just so he could stay in touch with the interwebs and such. Yay Pete! (And “like” us on Facebook while you’re at it.)
