Not the most interesting video, but some people requested that I post what video I had of the most recent LAN party. The game of choice was Warcraft III with DoTA, Castle Fight, Line Tower Wars, and Battle Tanks. There were about 12 people (depending on what specific time). We had 5 people in the Deuce and a Half and another 5 people in my computer room.
This weekend John and I worked wiring the 120v electrical system for the M185a3. Over the span of two days we were able to wire and test the electrical umbilical connections, about half of the Ethernet cables, and install the network box. More videos will be posted as progress is made.
I’ve decided to start posting some videos of the progress John and I are making on the deuce and a half. This video glosses over the progress we have made so far. Over the coming weeks I’ll be posting more videos showing specific sub-projects, such as setting up the network box, installing a seccondary breaker pannel, charging the battery bank, and other various things.
John and I spent most of this past weekend working on the truck. The primary goal that we accomplished was connecting the alternator to the rear battery pack (henceforth referred to as the “Atomic Pile,” a reference to Batman). In order to tap into the 60 Amp output of the alternator we had to run some wire from the Atomic Pile and into either the stock battery box or the engine compartment. John thought it would be nice to be able to disconnect and monitor the power flow from the cabin, so we decided on routing the cable under the cab, through the engine bay, and into the cab. Once inside the cab the circuit runs through a 60 Amp fuse, an ammeter, and (hopefully soon) a heavy duty switch. We weren’t able to get our hands on a switch this weekend, but we’re going to keep looking for one.
