Every once in a while I can smell my brakes on the front left burning and you can feel that it is warmer in the wheel well compared to the right side. It doesn't happen all of time though. I took the whheel and caliper off but, the brakes look fine and the rotor is still smooth. I am wondering if the piston on the caliper is freezing up sporactically. I took it to the dealer but, the tech said that he isn't finding a problem and of course the problem doesn't occur when I take it in so, I can't prove that it is happening.
 Could it still be the caliper or is there some other reason why I can smell the brakes burning and feel the higher temerature in the wheel well?

Is it possible I can charge this thing with a solar panel? Also what other technologies are available beside that in the market?

Does parking on gravel for long term is bad for tires?

I'm trying to create illegal instruction reset.  

I'm programming Infineon TC29x Aurix Tricore Microcontroller based embedded system in 'C' language.  

I need to set program counter to illegal address, i.e. 0x00FF FFFC.  Can this be done with assembly language instructions?
If yes, please instrument assembly language instruction that would set program counter to 0x00FF FFFC while code is running.

Is it possible that I have some kind of spy camera around my shirt which also can pass me thru metal detector. And also send me the live stream video.

We are using TC29x Microcontroller. The flash size is 6Mbytes. There are Three banks, 2Mbyte each.

Program Flash 0 (PF0) is bank 1. Program Flash 1 (PF1) is bank 2. Program Flash 2 (PF2) is bank 3.

 PF0 address range is: 0x8000 0000 - 0x801F FFFF
 PF1 address range is: 0x8020 0000 - 0x803F FFFF
 PF2 address range is: 0x8040 0000 - 0x805F FFFF

 Where is Program Flash ECC stored. Is it within 6Mbyte ? Or is there additional storage space for ECC that we don't have access to ?

 How does Flash ECC work ? For how many bytes of data, how many bytes of ECC are there ? Whenever we write to flash, ECC updates? When we erase flash ECC updates?

 How is it possible to create Flash ECC Error ? Because everytime you write or erase flash, ECC will update?

hi Folks

i have been stuck on this issue for days and found no clue to fix it.

the navigation unit of my Toyota Prius makes some kind of clicking noise when it is powered on, finally i have figured out that the noise is related to its maps DVD. once the DVD disc is removed, the noise disappears. initially i thought it was caused by an aged DVD disc as the disc was used in the unit for years. i thought a new backup disc could fix the issue, but I was wrong.

now, all DVD discs can't be recognised by the navigation unit, whatever they are original copy, or burned backup discs in DVD -R, +R or RW, speed 1x or 16x, the same message keeps showing on the unit's screen. all discs can be loaded, but nothing works at all.

how can i fix the issue?

the car is out of manufacturer warranty, i am thinking if it is feasible to remove the navigation unit and clean it myself. If yes, how?

thanks heaps in advance,

I've put in a brand new starter on my 2005 GMC Sierra because it was clicking. After I did that the clicker no stopped but now the truck still won't crank. So I changed the ignition switch after carefully checking all the fuses and relay and it still does the same thing. Found a wire that was never connected to the battery and traced back to the starter so I connected it to the battery and the starter started engaging but the ignition was off so I turned the ignition on and touched the battery with wire and engine turned over but starter wouldn't disengage. I've traced all the wires to see if anything was wrong and they all look good. What else am I missing?

Hello Guys I hope you can help me I am in Mexico, I've taken my car to the service center and they don't seem to know how to fix the problem.  

It could happen that the car will not start,   so I go pop the hood and push all the fuses near the battery and go back to turn it on and it starts up with out a problem.  Then the small motor symbol appears.

There are cases where it starts perfectly and the motor symbol is off, when I am driving all of the sudden it loses power (CHECK ENGINLIGH TURNS ON)it doesn't fully turn of the car keeps going., but its kind of scary when your driving in middle of traffic.   So when I hit a bump or something it does this.

I can be driving in the express way where there are no bumps and it still dose it.

Have you guys experienced something like this if so have you found away to solve it?

I hope you can help me cause this is driving me nuts.

Thank you

Jose

Consider a typical Automotive Embedded  Software System.  

A discrete input signal is 0 or 1.  An example of discrete input is ignition ON or OFF.

After discrete input signal is debounced or a state change is latched, is discrete input signal still raw value?

Second question:   Should Electronic Control Unit (ECU) low level software debounce discrete inputs or just read the real time state of discrete input?  Are there any exceptions meaning some discrete inputs should be debounced, whereas others don't need to be debounced?

This is my remote. I use rechargeable batteries and every day my remote shows low battery but when i test them, they all shows green. I bought batteries from dollar store and try them, they also die out in less than 3 days. They are AAA rechargeable batteries. I think something is wrong with my remote.

I have 2015 RAM 5.7 V8. Is it possible I can sleep on the back bed with something I can put easily on the top just in case if rain? I don't have that kind of money to buy extra camper to put on it. Some thing cheap I can use to sleep on it.
