Chronos is finally going to be making its way into the hands of some very eager low-budget filmmakers. Back in September , engineer  David Kronstein  unveiled his low-budget high-speed camera, Chronos 1.4, which boasted features like 1050fps at 1280x1024, touchscreen display, and most importantly, a $2750 price tag. At the time, the production-ready prototype wasn't fully completed, the software was still in development, and the hardware was in the prototype phase, but now Chronos 1.4 is fully operational and  ready to go on Kickstarter , having already raised $250,000 from its $48,000 goal. In addition to the price, Chronos 1.4 has some impressive features. It can shoot at up to 21,649fps, though it does so in a non standard resolution, 640x96, which will be more useful to scientists than filmmakers. The more cinematography friendly resolution of 640x480 shoots up to 4,436, which is still mighty impressive. Conveniently, it can als...

P0069 – Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor/barometric pressure (BARO) sensor correlation By  Mia Bevacqua ASE Master Tech Trouble Code Fault Location Probable Cause P0069 Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor/barometric pressure (BARO) sensor correlation MAP sensor, mechanical fault What Does P0069 Mean? The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor is used to measure engine load. The powertrain control module (PCM) sends the MAP sensor a reference voltage and the sensor varies the voltage according to manifold vacuum. The PCM then uses this information to adjust ignition timing and fuel delivery. An example of a MAP sensor (Courtesy:  autozone.com ) Vacuum and pressure are inversely proportional (when vacuum goes up, pressure goes down). Because of this, the MAP sensor is able to measure the pressure in the intake manifold to gauge vacuum. Manifold vacuum is a good indicator of engine load. With the engine off, manifold pressure and a...
