My apologies for getting frustrated. I shouldn’t have done that. This is bit on info-dump. I’m not the best at expressing myself and so some parts may not be clear. Please feel free to ask for clarification or any further questions. Pattern

> we genuinely can only laugh at people That's perhaps not the best wording. Nonetheless, I do agree with you. D can be very flexible in that regard.

It's very much the same in Australia. The approval I got from the engineer was due to the following points: 1. The 6 speed came out of a newer generation of the model. 2. My controller has some safety features. 3. My controller emulate

If my car relied heavily on CAN (like the next generation Commodore) I probably would have sold it. I love CAN bus (for my own designs), but I don't see the effort of attempting to reverse engineer GM's format as worth it, especia

Thank you! I agree, the syntax is much clearer than C++. The very first prototype was in C++, but I found myself frequently frustrated with the language. I find D's features make me more productive.

As of current, no. I'm not sure where I want to go with this project.

Definitely. If you come from a C-family background it feels quite familiar.

I was quite surprised, too. Maybe it was a little gift from Holden to the burnout bogans? 1. My apologies, I've confused you. CAN communications are purely internal for my system, it doesn't communicate via CAN to the car's c

1. I don't interface to my car's electronics over serial or CAN bus. Instead, I interface by emulating actuators and sensors the 4 speed gearbox computer expects. 2. I'd like to introduce you to "manualisation" [0].

Thank you! I spend a tonne of time in the reference manual for the 6 speed, and things clicked for what my next steps should be. It was really about trying to familiarise myself with the problem as much as possible.

Sorry for my late reply. I'm currently at work- I'll make sure to reply when I knock off. Have a great day :)

Flogging it, pretty much. I have a manual license, but I'm not interested in them. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Thank you! Your post about D without its runtime is a fantastic read.

Holden has been owned by GM since the 1930s and has been building its own vehicles since 1948. Holden ceased building cars in 2017 and was disbanded in 2020 (RIP). But yeah, the 4L60es are lemons in my eyes.

They're really not good gearboxes. Keep in mind, with the 4 speeds I drove casually. With this 6 speed, I can push it hard and it's still going strong almost a year later. They're quite an old (American) design bolted to a mo

Fortunately, and surprisingly, this project was smooth sailing on the legal front. I contacted a VicRoads certified engineer in regards to the project and got the all clear. Even my insurance was OK with it. I think it's because most o

That's understandable. Not for everyone. Different situation, but I do admit when I first got into D I was wary of the UFCS feature and I avoided it, too. Over time it felt a bit more natural and I began to appreciate it.

Thank you so much for the kind words :) Sorry, no. I don't have a blog or website or anything. The closest thing I have to a devlog are some posts in a private Facebook group dedicated to the Holden Commodore. I think this project is a

The units are a mix of D's UFCS and metaprogramming. I find it helps keep track of which units are used where in the code base, and stops me from accidently running operations on wrong unit types and such. Injector width / time pr

Hi, I'm the author of the article. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I have to go to bed, I have work in about 4 hours, so I'll reply when I can.

Good question! It is. I contacted a VicRoads approved engineer in regards to this project, and I received the all clear. I've been pulled over by cops, and they were cool with it. My insurance is ok with it, too. It does have a softwar
