Accusation and Explanation of the QC, for all to see.
Quote:
What you have stated is not the truth. I will not uselessly demand of you that which is beyond your character, i.e. an apology, but do point out for others, the true facts which can be verified. My/this thread was started 05-10-2008. 04-29-2008 You Harvey, let the cat out of the bag yourself, by posting on your now preferred site, SVX World Forums, in post No. 4. “It gives the impression of firming the changes. but all it does is to raise the line pressure in relation to how far the throttle is pushed. The line pressure is still lowered during the change. I have developed a unit that does it the right way.” Refer --- http://svxworldforums.com/forum4/530.html Immediately, well before I posted several members started an avalanche of questions, which totalled over 15 posts regarding your product. The thread culminated in “budfreak” offering the product for sale, talking price and announcing, 15-23-2008 in post No. 71, a new exclusive thread. Refer --- http://svxworldforums.com/forum1/575.html By 05-10-2008 you were well into posting and discussing your gizmo within SVX World Forums. You had ample opportunity to explain that development was not complete if indeed that was the situation, first in the SVX World Forums and later here. Furthermore a mercenary attitude will by now be obvious to all. Quote:
It is likely that line pressure will be running at final pump pressure.

Re: Refer post #153.
Quote:
Someone else had designed the “QC” circuitry and or, the writer was being intentionally confusing so as to hide detail. I therefore posted #158 as above by way of obtaining clarification, and received #161 in reply. This excuse confirmed that the writer was out of his depth, regarding the terminology he was using and someone else was involved. It was not long before I twigged to the fact that a hobby kit was being used, as the required knowledge to design the described circuitry was beyond that of the alleged designer. A check through catalogues has disclosed that this is indeed correct and plagiarism is rife. The “QC” comprises Jaycar Electronics Australia's universal voltage switch, catalogue number KC-5377 and their enclosure/box UB3, HB-6013. These two items are available here in N.Z. for a total price of less than NZ$40-00, with a discount for lots of five or more. In Australia, where the “QC ” vendor is based, one would expect an even better price. Units or ten have been mentioned by the distributor, which is significant. Complete assembly data covering the kit is published in “Performance Electronics for Cars”, an Australian publication first published 2004. Their description titled, “How it Works” as below, is enlightening and discloses from where the wording, so poorly put together in post #153, was derived. ----"The simple voltage switch relies on comparator ICa (Operational amplifier), which compares the input to a reference level. The input voltage is divided by two 1meg ohm resistors which apply one half of the voltage to the inverting pin of IC1. Zener diode ZD2 and a 100nf capacitor protect against transient voltage on the input signal. etc. etc. ----" It is easy to see from where strange reference to a voltage divider in post #153 was obtained. This next piece of text is also interesting, in view of the conflicting wording referring to hysteresis in post #153. ----]“Hysteresis has been added to prevent the output from oscillating at the trigger voltage. Basically the hysteresis is the difference between the between the switch on and switch off voltages and this is set using potentiometer VR2.” ---- Two resistors across the relay output, will turn the assembled voltage switch kit into a “QC”. However an interesting anomaly is the text in Harvey’s description i.e., "One half turns the TCUs Torque Control line off the ECU and on to a regulated 4.5V, that it can pull up and down happily.” This surely is not the method in fact applied. Refer my post #158 above. In view of the fact that the now plagiarised design has been published commercially, intellectual property rights will apply. This means that Harvey could be covertly operating beyond the law. Jason/ SVX Parts Central, could also become drawn into any possible litigation. Granted, due to the limited sales, the publishers would probably decide that court proceedings would not be cost effective. I am not at all concerned that Harvey has used a kit set for his project, a logical idea, good on him if he is willing to accept the risk. What is not on, is the blarney of writing himself up as the designer of intricate circuitry. There surely is no shame in being honest.

Re: New Shift Kit Developed
Quote:
Firstly he accuses me of not being capable of designing an intricate electronic circuitry. Second he accuses me of stealing somebody else’s circuit board, for my own use. To deal with the first, I am quite comfortable in designing any electronic circuitry. I have all ways had electronics as a hobby since I built my first crystal radio, moving through the various stages to achieve my Amateur radio operator's licence. In the early 70s I did a 12 months full-time Diploma course on Computer Technology with Control Data, on the main-frame computers of the time. This included digital and analogue electronics. I constructed my first Vector Graphics computer in 73, using the original Z80 processor. I then designed a digital controller for an automatic, automotive, spring winding machine that I also designed. I continued through various stages to teach Automotive Engineering at Sydney Technical collage, where I wrote and taught an ‘Electronics for Automotive Mechanics’ course, and was instrumental in changing the way electrical was taught to move it into the modern era. Configuring Linier ICs in the way that I have, may be new to Trevor, but it is a basic building block for all electronic designers. Phil uses it in his digital discriminator to clean the signal between the ECU and the lap top. I am absolutely confident in designing and offering this circuitry, in my Quick Change Second. I designed my own circuit board, using a CAD program to suit the circuit that I wanted to use. I also designed it to allow me to build the board easily, as not having a right arm increases the degree of difficaulty in anything that I do, hence the low production of 10 a week. As can be seen in the picture it bares the Slick Shift logo both on the silk screen, and copper sides. I now demand an apology of the same prominence as the slanderous accusations. Harvey.

Re: Accusation and Explanation of the QC, for all to see.
We, the Admin/Mod staff, thought it best to bring these posts back to light so that those that care, can come to their own conclusion.
And so that those that are misinformed, can be informed. It was suggested that this be locked, however I will leave it open for discussion. That means, obey the rules, as we will be watching this thread like a hawk.

Re: Accusation and Explanation of the QC, for all to see.
Chris,
My vote is to lock this thread, as I see nothing good coming from leaving it open. I would hope, by this time, that everyone understands the dynamic that exists between Harvey and Trevor. -Bill

The only person we really need to prove anything to is ourself.
Why can't we all just get on with life? What is the purpose in trying to keep this war going? Keith |

Re: Accusation and Explanation of the QC, for all to see.
I can't help thinking that if Harvey and Trevor could meet up over a few beers, then they could put all this to rest and end up as best mates.

Re: Accusation and Explanation of the QC, for all to see.
As suggested earlier, but stirring the pot consistently by Harvey, Trevor, and the admin/mod squad is not helping any of this Wtf is going on here and why do I see "the great divide" growing larger??

Re: Accusation and Explanation of the QC, for all to see.
This was reposted, partially by request of Trevor.
He claims that we want nothing but to censor him, this is not true. By leaving this out there, it lets you all make up your own mind. There is no need for it to be locked, lest it get out of hand. Believe me, we want this to be over more than you, as I enjoy reading the forums and not having to police them.

Re: Accusation and Explanation of the QC, for all to see.
+1... was trying to ignore this as much as possible... but....
this is really getting to be lame. take this to harveyvstrevor.com or something... for crying out loud. -Sov13t.

Re: Accusation and Explanation of the QC, for all to see.
i hate that i cant go through a freakin thread without something related to this coming up, typically resulting in furious posts between trevor and harvey
i mean honestly, this is an SVX forum, keep it at that trevor

My intent here, is to ensure that honest and correct information is provided to SVX forum members. The fact that many do not understand the technical issues involved, and as a result the thread has become a convoluted mess, should not be my problem. Cheers, Trevor.

My ability to assess character is reasonable and I do not choose to drink with those having an exaggerated ego and are incapable of a logical conversation. Disagreement can be a stimulating factor and on several occasion I have been engaged in quite furious debate here, when the outcome has been to agree to disagree and a beer has been on the agenda. What is more on those occasions the spectators understood and became amused. Sadly that was long ago. Cheers, Trevor.
