One of the nice parts of the #DT01 chassis design is that the gearbox already has a brace built into the chassis, so no transmission slap!

I also really enjoyed the big tires. Most of the areas I drive in are pretty rough and these lorge bois help keep the chassis nice and high away from rocks.

Additionally, the chassis has a nicer steering system than the #RisingFighter as it has symmetrical tie rods and more steering angle. However there is a sloppy linkage involved which I hope to remedy with a 3D printed part. I think it will be the first ball-raced DT-01 steering system ever! 🤣

Got a new (to me) #DT01 chassis for Crunchy!

My ultimate goal is to finish this pure C implementation and then profile its execution on different hardware to see where the big performance hits are. Once that's completed, the slow code can be rewritten in SIMD and/or ASM code and tested for correctness against the pure C implementation via qemu's userspace CPU emulation.

The #DirtOS 3D renderer reference implementation is slowly truckin' along.

Basic rendering with lighting and model loading is completed but it looks like I'll need to change the renderer to handle strip-style vertexes.

I'm finally feeling motivated to work on #DirtOS again. Maybe in another 3 years, it'll be done! 💩

I uploaded a basic #C #3D math library to the interwebs: https://gitlab.com/DavidDiPaola/m3d
