Progress - December 2024

December 5th

A change in priorities has meant we have not made much progress on the MX-5e this month and we are unlikely too for a few months now 🙁 Rob has had to spend most of his free time sorting out the planning issues, finding a builder, finalising kitchen and bathroom designs and getting quotes for our new extension.

December 5th

It's been a big and time consuming project to define all of the work required, finalise all of the designs and get suppliers lined up to start work in early 2025.

We have bought some new, blue seatbelts for the MX-5e. The old ones were tan in colour, worn and very dirty. The ones we have bought feature shorter, seat mounted buckles to fit on the new heated leather seats.

The prototype Driver Control Unit (DCU) is now in testing in the MX-5e, to check the drain on the 12V battery is OK. It has been measured at 2.45mA at 12V dc, which should be fine. The processor wakes up every 6 hours (for now) and connects to the home Wi-Fi to report stats back to our smart home. If the 12V battery level drops below a pre-set theshold, then Rob gets a notification.
