Comma Extreme Dev Kit NOW AVAILABLE

[Torrems001]

Going to install the extreme dev kit this week, appreciate everyone’s questions/answers above as it already answered most of my questions.
Do I need to remove/replace my USB cable that I already have routed up to my C4 with the new one that came with the Extreme Dev kit?

You should be able to keep your existing cable.

waiting for some reviews. Where are they? I’m considering this upgrade, but concerned that it is really worth the bucks. I’m pretty happy with my Comma 4, as is, with AP-staging and North Nevada Model V2.

Today was my first test drive. I took it to work and then back. It’s really nice being able to use the truck controls to engage, disengage the comma and also for lane changing. Between getting the wires nice and neat and the fuse tap, to me it was a no brainer to get the longitudinal upgrade. I see it as a long term investment and convenience factor. I know the torque vs angle based steering is also a factor. Before today I didn’t really understand the hype of MADS but WHOA, revolutionary lol. Being able to tap the right stick up and it keep the lane control on but have manual acceleration/deacceleration! Great! Especially in Texas where some stop and go traffic you need to be a little more careful when leaving too much of a gap between cars.

I know this is more of a model issue, but lane hugging is REAL! Yikes, it was a little scary at some points. And I had to fight the wheel a couple of times to keep myself a comfortable distance from the car in the other lane. Also, on some turns if a car was in the lane next to me but in front of me, it would slow down dramatically as if the car was in my lane. Now that everything is installed, I guess I move on to the next part of the game … choosing the right model. I think I used the xnor staging one but it performed horribly on open road in Texas curvy hill country. Open to suggestions!

It sounds like you don’t have Xnor’s new angle based steering upgrade. That is what I am interested in.

If it is lane hugging on straight roads, you may have to adjust the camera offset a wee bit. I had to do this as my truck wanted to favor the center line a bit too much. This can be done on Sunnylink under the Model section. I ended up adjusting mine to -.02 meters and that did the trick.

As for the best model, I’ve tried a bunch of them on my R1T. For me, North Nevada V2 was the clear winner, especially on unmarked country roads. It also seems to handle curves a bit better. Having said that, others have their favorites, so I suspect performance varies a bit with different vehicles. I’m also using the AP-staging branch.
