Pictures from the OSIsoft UC 2010
Here are some pictures that I took of the VEEDIMS technology demo at last year’s user conference. They have developed the technology that allows them to send network signals and power over the same cable which greatly reduces wiring complexity. You simply plug the modules together and power and data flow.
The channel for the brake line is embedded directly into the suspension member.
This video shows the video playback of a track session with the car. The video was perfectly synchronized to the PI data shown on the screen below. The instruments on the car dash were playing back the data as well.
You can see one of the Veedims computer modules here. The module is completely sealed and waterproof. It is running Windows Embedded with a small PI server. Power and control signals to the sensors and control devices travel through the same cable.
The completely computerized dashboard. The dials were being animated in sync with the video that was playing of the car on the test track. As the car revved in the video, you could watch the tach on the dash as it played back the data from PI.
This is a picture of the gas cap. The servo on the left would lower the cap down into a channel so that the tank can be filled. The process can be triggered from an iPhone.
