Australian Slot Car Racers Association

I earnt my living over the last 18 years writing software so it was no big deal to write a small toy to save me from having to do a task in the Windows calculator.

Its a simple dialog that accepts 2 floating point numbers which are units in grams. Weigh your car both ends and type the numbers in the two text slots, plonk the button and it calculates the weight transfer in percentages. Natural keyboard entry is supported, IE type number, hit enter, type the next number hit enter again and it displays the results.

Executable file is garranteed squeaky clean, it is built on an isolated machine and is completely free of any infection. Note that some of the crappy AV scanners may report a false positive due to the minimum size of the executable, crap like Avira and a few others are written so badly that their heuristic scanning drops errors when it cannot understand the file structure.

f you have the problem, get a decent AV scanner like Kaspersky or Eset's Nod32 but even better, if you are computer savvy, get rid of this crap altogether and secure your computer properly.

This is the next toy that may be useful to someone, it takes as arguments, the pinion, gear and tire diameter and outputs the result as the distance travelled with one (1) turn of the motor.

Will accept either metric or inch due to the calculation order and the output distance will be in the same units.

As before, squeaky clean binary built on an isolated machine but due to the very small size the crappy end of AV scanners may drop a heuristic false positive.

Pretty neat Hutch.
Here is a link to similar thing with a bit of info about Rollout and what the results mean.

Kingy,

Thanks for the link, it was the same one that Fox gave me. Difference is you can use the small binary without connecting to the internet and it has a higher level of precision than can be delivered by a JAVA app on the internet, not that it matters all that much with the task at hand.
