The guidance system has a safety interlock... the commander's key and the 1st officer's
key must be in place before launch.
It also plays tic-tac-toe.

Re: Need A New Name For A Chip!!!!!!!
Bravo on this effort. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to contribute, but believe me when I say I'll give back whatever I can to this.
As for the open source-ness of this, I suggest releasing it under the GPL or a similar license. That allows anyone to use the code essentially for whatever, as long as they release their derivative works under the same terms. If they don't agree to that, they have no right to use the code and can be sued for copyright violation. It sucks that you'd have to do this, but it protects you (the coders) and us (the community) from people who only intend to steal others' work and give nothing back. The "play nice" idea would most likely work with anyone on this board, but those aren't the people you have to worry about stealing your hard work for their own profit.

Re: Need A New Name For A Chip!!!!!!!
We can GPL the code changes... no problems there. I don't honestly see there being a
lot of submitted code, but if someone wants to, it'll need to be submitted under the original
free license terms. Otherwise, they'll need to start their own new distribution.
As far as the license agreement, we plan on making it economically unfeasible for people
to copy and profit from it- ie, why buy what you can download for free?
There will be people who try to steal the code and sell it as their own.. these people will
be exposed at every opportunity. While we don't have the resources (or interest) in legal
battles, we hope that the community at large won't support the bottom feeders. That's
the best way to combat the problem- get the word out about people who don't play by the
rules.

Re: Need A New Name For A Chip!!!!!!!
For me, it's not the people trying to profit from something free. The GPL gives you that right - you can download a free Linux distro, change the name, and charge $5,000 for this awesome new "SyTy Linux" if you want. But that generally doesn't happen because anyone else can go download it for free too. The economics stop that sort of thing, as you say.
But lately, there have been a number of cases of people taking an open source program, adding a few nice things, and selling it as their own (without releasing the source). It's 90% other people's work, but that 10% they actually did would really benefit the users. If you actually have an official license attached to the project, you then have the muscle if you do run into someone who isn't playing by the rules. If it's just "an understanding", then your only recourse is to have another understanding that people shouldn't support the bad guy. But there will still always be the guys who "don't want to get into the politics of it" and stuff, who will support the jerk who steals everyone else's hard work, but won't share the one little thing he designed. Since he does very little work himself, it's still easy to be profitable off just the few people who don't boycott him.
It sounds like most of the people who know anything about SyTy chipping are already involved with this. There isn't a huge market for SyTy-specific stuff. The community knows they need to support the people who care about them. All those things indicate that this shouldn't be a problem. However, being open like this, it could definitely spread to other areas that we have less control over, and where there's a bigger market for stuff. I just think that having an official license behind it would give you more power should something bad happen, plus having it will be a deterrent to those thinking about ganking your hard work.

Re: Need A New Name For A Chip!!!!!!!
Geez, with all those new features i would suggest calling it "Brain Storm" or even better to imply it's controling all the electronic impulses and more "Thunder Brain Storm", would probably make the most sense. Besides i can tell you guys are brain stormin at it like if it was "The Great Deluge" and it would only be fair that your effort is implied on the name. Either way i hope you guys find a very good name for it and that everyone that knows of the existance of Sy/Tys can relate it to our trucks and realize it's goin to be one meanly tuned vehicule he is next to.
Im starting to read a lot about tunning so i can be kinda ready for when this ( i dont know how to call it now, chip sounds just too, too, too not so ultimate anymore ) comes out and you have my combo tune prestablished. Bling, bling, here's a hint, hehe. Fully stock motor, Waller tranny/2800 9/11, 255lph Wal, FPR, 20G, progressive alki and may be in the future a small progressive nitrous shot to avoid turbo lag and the top end ; ]

Re: Need A New Name For A Chip!!!!!!!
We are calling it Code59 right now (www.code59.org) until we can get a better name for it. Currently we are in closed beta testing. As soon as some more testers give us the results, if we don't have any problems we should be releasing the code in a couple of weeks. It is up to Dig and Don to say when we are ready for release.
Here is the feature list of it.

Re: Need A New Name For A Chip!!!!!!!
The idea is it will output a voltage between 0 and 5 volts depending on how much knock you have.
For example 1 volt = 2 degress, 2 volts 4 deg, etc.
Gauge would then take voltage and move dial accordingly.
Most electric gauges are already 0-5volts.
