AP2.0 Cameras: Capabilities and Limitations?
- Thread starter lunitiks
- Start date
I saw purple cam and white cam before, not very often, like 3-4 times in the previous 6 months.
@verygreen what re-routing are you referring to? Are you talking about the change from 1.0 to 2.0? Or do you have access to a 2.5 vehicle now?
I am not sure what re-routing you reference to? I don't have hw2.5 car access.
1.0 to 2.0 cid camera connectilivy is certainly different - goes via ape now.
Yes, I pointed that out long ago in the AP2.0 cameras thread. But the BUC connection did change in 2.5 too; now there's some kind of "splitter" that I'm not sure about the purpose of. In 2.5, BUC signal goes to APE ("IN"), then there's two "OUT" - one to CID and one back to APE (which obviously has two "IN" now).
You were clearly referring to the change that happened from 1.0 to 2.0

Theory: Maybe that splitter is in preparation of the new (potentially HUD enabled) CID system, delayed but coming in Q2/2018... for the moment it just has a pass-through cable.
It could also be in preparation of a future nose camera for 360 view - helped by rumoured color cameras on the side markers in AP 2.5... You heard it here first folks.
Or more boringly, it could be related to the interior monitoring camera.
Perhaps the splitter is a fix to @verygreen's problem...? (Not verygreen's problem, but the issue that he's and maybe others' been having?)

That's weird. You could split the feed from the BUC to APE IN1 + APE IN2 for APE redundancy, but APE OUT > CID + APE IN2? Maybe an unprocessed passthru?
Ya that’s exactly what I’m thinking!Maybe an unprocessed passthru?
So perhaps BUC processing on 2.0 has proven buggy / demanding wrt CID display, so they’ve split the signal in two: One unprocessed to CID, and one that gets processed by APE for EAP/FSD stuff
you might want to consider having a picture in picture showing nobody's actually doing anything with the steering wheel or use a wider angle to include the whole steering wheel in the video. Otherwise while all of us know what does that autosteer looks like, regular people probably don't and assume it's you driving.
Great advice... I've also got great advice from @daktari and @TaoJones, it's given me a respect for shooting video. The ultimate car to do these videos in is a model x because of the windshield. My favorite view is the driver video view but the issue is the wobble or the mounting being so distracting because it's right next to your right ear, it is dangerous and since I'm always trying to push the limit of autopilot without scaring or affecting other people or attracting too much attention, it is hard. I have a few ideas I'll try out, but I've decided to go ahead and take it more seriously.... only then will I be able to pull off the Japanese gauntlet song you requested. It'll likely end up looking like this:
SucreTease
Teslarian
In repsonse:
Hmm, would you, @bigdaddie, be able to enjoy this joke?
The cockpit of the future will be manned with only one pilot and a dog. The pilot's job will be to feed the dog; the dog's job will be to bite the pilot if he tries to touch the controls.

"hours of boredom occasionally punctuated by moments of absolute terror" is how I recall a pilot friend summarizing his job.
