#zeroiee — Public Fediverse posts

Sometimes even the software developers at @zeroiee get really sweaty.

For example, when rolling out updates, before presentations to customers - or when it comes to carrying a 12 kg car battery, a V2X radio receiver, GPS antenna and laptop across the nearby terrain to perform a range coverage measurement.

We certainly got a lot of looks during the event. Hopefully we didn't scare anyone.

The results are not yet what we had hoped for. But that's why we do such tests: to ensure that the customer receives a product that not only meets their expectations, but also delights them.

Hey Mastodon users!
Have you ever seen an Audi e-tron display Mastodon on its main HMI display?

Probably not!
This was enabed by one of our products - the ZERO FPDLinkNode, which is part of our AMPS (Advanced Modular Prototyping System). The FPDLinkNode is plugged in between the native vehicle display-/touch unit and the HMI controller. This way we're able to manipulate display contents and create a visual overlay.

The overlay enables us to display the vehicle's own content and at the same time show new content on the display without disrupting the native functionality. In this example, however, we have set the FPDLinkNode so that the native Audi user interface is completely overlaid.

A clean Git history is the key to successful teamwork and quick bug fixes. Errors can only be successfully tracked down if it is always possible to trace when and where code was changed by whom and for what reason.

🥴 However, in the rush of the battle, the changes that are packaged in a commit are sometimes not taken very seriously. Who has never experienced this? A change that is actually unrelated to the current work package has made it into the commit because the file has already been saved temporarily.

💡The solution: With an "interactive add" (git add -i), you can pack partial changes ("hunks") into a commit and specify line by line what should be included in the next commit.

We at ZERO GmbH have completed our first prototype to display our own content in vehicle on-board systems. The touch function of the display can also be used to write ZERO in the most beautiful font ✍️ 😅

So...why all this? With the help of our AMPS platform, our customer can easily show new designs or functions in a vehicle and bring them to life - without having to access the series components directly.

And "easily" really means "easily":
Connect computer viaHDMI => switch on via button or CAN => be happy 🥳

@inviridi and @thomas are at the Embedded World fair in Nuremberg today!

We’ve been at the Raspberry Pi booth and were particularly impressed by the LoRa products of RAK wireless!

Now let’s check out some more booths!

If you've followed our recent posts, you already know that we gave Shorewall a try to tidy up our VPN firewall rules and gain full overview about our configuration. Our migration to Shorewall has been successful and we'd like to share some insights in our configuration:

"Keeping the Wireguard VPN firewall clear with Shorewall" - https://blog.zero-iee.com/en/posts/vpn-firewall-shorewall/

Shorewall by Tom Eastep is just perfect for small to mid size firewall deployments that are mostly static and not too complex. One of our developers uses OpnSense and PfSense for more complex scenarios in his private projects.

Which firewall / configuration tool do you use and why?

Want to meet us in person?

We'll be at the #IAA mobility trade fair in #Munich from September, 5th to 10th and will present our #5GoIng #SmartCity Cube.

As our location will be at Königsplatz, access is free of charge!

We look forward to having interesting discussions and answering your questions about #5GoIng #5G #V2X, and #SmartCity. See you soon!

We took our #AMPS MotorControl Nodes to the limit!

One of our customers attached 11 MotorNodes to a DisplayNode and used this setup to endurance-test 22 vehicle mirror actuators. The setup has worked fine for at least 3 months and 30.000 mirror fold/unfold cycles.

This custom-make variant of the DisplayNode lets the customer configure the endurance tester and set test parameters such as motor blocking current, moving speed, number of test cycles and more. The user can connect to a web-based, mobile device friendly user interface to configure the #AMPS stack via their mobile phone or tablet. No local network needed - it's all available via the integrated Wifi hotspot.
