The first Test Drive?
Eva and I lifted the car in the driveway and let the wheels spin. Seemed like as was well but the wheels took off fast. We lowered the car then gave it a test and it simply jumped. It hit 100% power at the slighted touch of the pedal. Took some investigation but it turns out that running and unofficial release of ZombieVerter code is a bad idea. The throttle code was under development when I loaded this version and it was no good. I downgraded to a released version and all was fine. This was a scary moment where I thought all had failed and this was a doomed project, and all I had to do was adjust a bit of firmware.
