Project Stratos - Episode 31 Paint?

[@LotoroE]

Wow, what a week - two Binky episodes, a Project Utah update and now the latest on Project Stratos! Easily three of the best projects on KZbin!! Superb work as always Colin, thank you for continuing to share and explain your incredible attention to detail and skills. Thoroughly appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences with us, here's looking forward to the next one!

[@105colin]

Thanks very much! No worries, glad your enjoying the explanations of some of my insanity!

[@paulcrombach7262]

You underestimate what we think is interesting ;). Awesome work again!

[@105colin]

haha, maybe, cheers mate

[@bhrmotorsport6809]

I really enjoy watching Dillion turn wrenches. Please keep him involved and in the videos! Cheers.

[@105colin]

no worries, will do, just try and stop him

[@scottloudon14]

Nice to see the progress on the Stratos and that everything else seems to be going well too.Cheers

[@105colin]

yep, we're getting there

[@mickaarons5498]

Love it Colin, looks fantastic. You do great work, hope to be able to see the car one day.

[@105colin]

yea it'll show up at the track at some stage for sure

[@koolkar55]

I've never hit the go button so fast on any other YT Video.... Billy J.... Queensland. Australia.

[@rjung_ch]

second that!

[@105colin]

your on it! cheers mate

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Great work mate. It is very tough to make wiring interesting. That is a very trick looking switch panel

[@105colin]

Cheers mate, yea, struggled a bit with this vid! Those switch panels are awesome quality, the price is forgotten as soon as you take it out of the box

[@Ride2Xplore]

Amazing!You certainly know your electronics and electrics very well,and that helps a lot!!!

[@105colin]

Haha, thanks, yea managed to retain some facts between uni pub crawls and their resulting hangovers

[@judithackerman2585]

I am amazed you don't have more subscribers. Great video as always. The use of the microcontroller is a great idea and seems to simplify the wiring.

[@105colin]

Glad you enjoyed it, well it simplified some parts!

[@Rally240]

Superb quality and attention to detail - as expected.

[@105colin]

just think of all the stone chips on the first rally!

[@owenmathews8806]

Your child is a lot more helpful than mine Colin. My beautiful little peanut just likes to yank on anything moveable, makes me wince... Hopefully I can get it started soon, scare her off, just a little :) Keep it up, looks awesome!

[@105colin]

haha, not much training required for Dylan, must be genetic, cheers mate!

[@l9jjp]

Fantastic work Colin your a inspiration . Lovely to see your boy following in your footsteps .keep up the good work totally awesome mate

[@105colin]

Cheers mate, appreciate the comment , will do!

[@philwesty21]

It's going to be great to watch Dillon learning the ropes over the coming projects.. there are going to be more, right? Quality of your work is superb. People under estimate what a pain it is trying to film things whilst you're thinking. You did right to crack on. I'm sure the design features will come out as more stuff gets bolted on. Inspirational stuff, Colin!

[@105colin]

More projects? There are always more projects! Thanks mate, yea they'll be time to get into a few more details for sure, cheers mate

[@stevejones9788]

Mechanical and electronics engineer, impressed 😎

[@105colin]

well, i needed an excuse to stay at uni longer, it was next to the pub

[@antonrocchi256]

Missed you bro, love the colour and as guy72277 said, inspirational... hanging out to see that beautiful Buso insitu and that wonderful note Cheers🤘

[@105colin]

thanks mate, shouldn't be long now

[@MakingforMotorsport]

Top work as always Colin, that power control module and the switch panel are next level… nothing too complicated but the attention to detail is 👌 it’d be too easy just to slap it together (my curse!)… looking forward to the mill going in!

[@105colin]

thanks mate, yea looking forward to slipping that engine in very soon, and good work on your channel as well

[@MakingforMotorsport]

@@105colin cheers Colin… I’m looking forward to when my little ones can help me out in the garage… you just need to get him TIG welding now! 👍

[@chriseckert5309]

Thanks for the latest video, will make lockdown pass a little easier.

[@105colin]

Glad to help!

[@GENERAL517]

The "Boss" returns, looks spectacular Colin.

[@105colin]

Nice, thanks mate

[@peaktraveller]

Excellent. LOve it.

[@David-vn9yg]

I really enjoy your videos..great job Happy yo see you again 👍🇪🇦

[@105colin]

Thank you very much!

[@Plummetking]

More, more more please Colin. I can't get enough of this superb build!

[@105colin]

no worries mate, more coming soon i hope

[@SkylarkCamperAdventures]

Looking good and glad to see you back, can’t wait to see it all running.

[@105colin]

thanks mate, me too!

[@bent3455]

Looks ace Col! Looking forward to seeing it in person one day!

[@105colin]

Yes Hopefully sooner rather than later mate!

[@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam]

loving your work sir

[@105colin]

Much appreciated

[@Manhattan_project.420]

this build is so well made.

[@105colin]

thanks mate, defiantly trying

[@rjung_ch]

Great news, happy days indeed

[@105colin]

Thanks Rob, hope you enjoyed it

[@marckirchner2548]

Good job.👍🏻

[@105colin]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@brianbob7514]

Looks great!

[@105colin]

yea its coming together now

[@dmjunqueirarv]

Rest assured, you can just get the funk out and turn some spanners and we will like it. I also think that the nerds (like myself) would be interested to se what your arduino code looks like... Top job as always mate! Cheers from Brazil.

[@105colin]

haha, no worries, thanks. yea I could go through some of the code in a video for sure, cheers

[@jedgreco]

Can't wait for the next episode 🤩

[@105colin]

Me either, hopefully engine!

[@rbotha01]

My friend, Alfa is Red! I know you've got a Lancia.................but it MUST be still RED!!!!!!

[@105colin]

indeed!

[@fractalrender]

Its incredible work!! Just seen the wiring in the autocad… and also the arduino board. Just great!! This is the most interesting content in one channel!! You should have a million suscribers!. Cheers and wish to see it runing shortly!!

[@105colin]

haha! thanks very much, glad your enjoyed it!

[@rutthenut]

Just noticed those door bars and front cage legs. Hope you've got short and flexible limbs, that looks like it'll be a squeeze getting in and out!

[@105colin]

Yea, it's a bit of a squeeze, I pushed the rules as far as I could with the cage , and with the removable steering wheel, it's not to bad. But yea, wouldn't want it to be my daily! Cheers mate

[@hurst_luke]

Top quality work. I don't know why this channel doesn't have more subs. I love the use of an Arduino. I've utilised a few in my classic mini project.

[@105colin]

cheers mate, yea the Arduino's are pretty handy

[@jackkirmond9587]

Great Progress, it wont be long now.

[@105colin]

yes, hopefully not!

[@kwassierufus]

Looking good. Enjoy the safety beer. Maybe even more progress with the extended lockdown 🤔

[@105colin]

very possible!

[@GarageTakai]

Really nicely done, and looks great. If lockdown 6 wasn’t on I would offer to drop you out a little esp8266 Haltech CAN gauge for testing. It’s capable of taking the full CANBUS load from an E2500 with no issues with display, so you’re probably wouldn’t have had an issue. Also, wondering why you didn’t use something like the ESP8266 as a bidirectional multiplexer for the switch board? Could have just had a handful of wires to the switches rather than the ribbon.

[@105colin]

Yea I did think about something along those lines, but i wanted to keep some redundancy, if for any reason the micro fails, i still wanted to be able to switch the basics on and off, so still wanted physical connections between the switches and the relays

[@rossmarzano]

Your young bloke called it: "this is where the air comes from" Well, hopefully not 😂😂

[@105colin]

Haha, yea he's all over it

[@davidsantos5516]

Next genaration...cool

[@105colin]

glad you liked it

[@mcoen]

That PCB switchboard is very nice! Looking forward to the next video. :) P.S. do you have a PN for the TE isolator/kill switch you used?

[@105colin]

Cheers mate, yea very happy with how that turned out EV200HAANA

[@rivenmotors7981]

Brilliant work Colin, I have yet to master (or even attempt) such dark arcane arts as Arduino. Did you have to sacrifice a goat? On a separate note, your lad is a natural with the spanner. Thanks for brightening up the end of the day with the video!

[@105colin]

just one goat? Haha, yea, he's not bad at all, you should see him with a Philips head, i've got a table full of toys that need to be put back together, and a million tiny screws.....

[@melbournecyclingsegments7510]

Jesus... Binky dudes have nothing on you. I'm loading up my 105 with furphy and I'll drop it all off

[@edwardbates739]

Why am I surprised that you’re not building your own ECU?

[@105colin]

don't need this project going on for another 12 months!

[@AndyTTR]

Colin… please tell me that’s not Comic Sans on the switch panel.

[@105colin]

"DIN17" What ever the hell that is

[@regalheros347]

Could only be red!

[@105colin]

pretty much!
