BC Z Fest 2024

This weekend was the second annual BC Z Fest, held at the top of Cypress Mountain, followed by a cruise up to Squamish for lunch. This year we had 117 Z cars attend. It was an honour to be asked to lead the convoy of Z Cars up the Sea-to-Sky highway to Squamish, as I was most familiar with the road.

Obligatory teaser of some recent development work on ConsultSpy; testing auxiliary analog voltage inputs with four type-K thermocouples. Here I was looking for consistency between thermocouple inputs and the effect of extending thermocouple wires using regular wire (i.e. don’t do it! Every connection between a thermocouple wire and regular wire creates another thermocouple in the circuit, resulting in erroneous measurements!)
