* tiwake pokes r3dd0g | 14:08 | |
r3dd0g | HEY | 14:34 |
---|---|---|
r3dd0g | keep that thing to yourself | 14:34 |
tiwake | heh | 14:35 |
tiwake | going to go to the local ford dealer and see whats around | 14:35 |
r3dd0g | nice | 14:36 |
tiwake | cant get anything | 14:36 |
tiwake | but I really don't like what a lot of other companies are doing to their car designs | 14:36 |
tiwake | don't like what ford is doing either, but less so than seemingly everyone else | 14:37 |
r3dd0g | yeah, im a little oldschool | 14:38 |
tiwake | it does give me happy feelings having moved to texas and seeing all the fords and chevys around | 14:38 |
tiwake | :3 | 14:38 |
r3dd0g | i dont particularly care for all the computer shit | 14:39 |
tiwake | I don't mind it... if it were open source | 14:39 |
r3dd0g | i have an 88 f150 im fixing up now | 14:39 |
tiwake | turns out ford has an open source CAN thing | 14:39 |
tiwake | http://openxcplatform.com/ | 14:40 |
tiwake | it only reads from the CAN buss, but its in the right direction, and only ford seems to be supporting it at the moment | 14:40 |
r3dd0g | ooooh yeah, i remember reading about this | 14:40 |
tiwake | it also turns out CAN buss hacking looks kinda easy | 14:41 |
tiwake | so *shrug* | 14:41 |
tiwake | but yeah, it does mean you can build an instrument cluster that plugs in easily because of that OpenXC thing | 14:42 |
tiwake | or at least it should be pretty easy | 14:42 |
tiwake | better be | 14:42 |
r3dd0g | im going to have to dig real deep into this. probably after October, but | 14:42 |
tiwake | looks like there are some fun tools to do CAN hacking with these days https://www.canb.us/ | 14:43 |
r3dd0g | they didnt cron their letsencrypt cert | 14:44 |
tiwake | after reading up on the CAN bus thing, I've kinda wanted to get a new car just to break into it | 14:45 |
tiwake | :3 | 14:45 |
tiwake | then I found that OpenXC thing | 14:45 |
tiwake | http://hackaday.com/2013/10/21/can-hacking-introductions/ | 14:46 |
tiwake | embedded systems are so fun | 14:47 |
r3dd0g | bookmarked. i gotta run to the office. damn on call scheduled = / | 14:48 |
tiwake | I need to get an oscilloscope | 14:48 |
tiwake | r3dd0g: hey, you get a chance to look at the CAN bus stuff? | 22:58 |
r3dd0g | no, been working priority tickets all damn day | 22:59 |
