      I love KITT in Holland it’s no easy to get a Pontiac Firebird I found 1 for 3000 euros most are going for at least 8 to 17,000 euros it Needed some work exhaust was crap and 1 of the headers was missing most bolts I have a Pontiac Firebird U9 1990 V6 3,1L injection same model only some parts are different the hood bumper and spoiler and of course the modifications I love de car and it’s going nowhere I know the KITT version was a trans am but that is expensive in Holland I don’t care
      more like 20,000 euro
      I am one of the 91 owners in Holland and I am proud of it

      I wonder why he went the hard way instead of just making a 3 channel vu meter and a usb to phone connector running a basic equalizer and voice recognition software ... would have been a lot smaller and other than the actual led display it would be plug and play literally
      or hack siri up and use that for the voice recognition and prerecorded kitt options

    • @MartyM.
      @MartyM. 2 роки тому +2

      ​ @0623kaboom It's because that's often signiificantly more difficult in terms of both hardware and getting firmware functionality sorted out. USB means there will have to be a host (master) device and are the issues that come with the USB protocol, packet failures, device handshaking, and so on.
      Any time you add more variables the probability of failure & complications, complexity, and cost go up nearly exponentially. In the end, often the simplest solution is the best one.
      SIRI is proprietary and as far as I'm aware not open-source, meaning that's not a viable option.

I'd like to think that Buick's Graphic Control and Oldsmobile's Visual Information Center CRT-based proto-infotainment systems, and the 1984 Corvette's bar-graph dashboard were heavily influenced by KITT, as much as KITT's dash design was influenced by the 1976 Aston Martin Lagonda Series 2 and the 1978 Cadillac Seville.

    Some excellent electronics here, old coupled up with new. I loved this show as a kid in the 80s. I have seen a few kit replicas at car shows, I am not up on American cars but I think it was a Pontiac transam with auto transmission, I am not sure if the original car is still in existence but this piece of history would suit it again, as nearly a middle aged bloke it's a lovely reminder of my childhood, as for the electronics buff who designed an built the new circuit respect to you sir, fantastic work, it sounds exactly how I remember it. I remember Karr, evil Kitt, his voice box flashed green. Sadly the British actor who played Devon passed away with cancer. The Hoff is a bit older now but still performing in show business. I did not care much for the new night rider, you can't beat the old classics, they will never die, lovely to hear Kitts voice again.

    Was a big fan of the show, and for a moments looking at the talking voice box gave me a bit a macabre feeling something like “omg that is an organ of kitt functioning” and than that feeling passed quick and than it was like “cooolll”

    The "fading" is what you get with LM3914 bargraph controller ICs if you don't filter the audio signal down to something slower. It was recognisable even at the time. It changes depending on exactly how you have the circuitry arranged, which is why you see it change. Your man has done a good job on the electronics there, with a variable filter to let you change it.

    looking at the voice module outside of the dash, it reminds me of the 10 segment bar graph units Radio Shack sold (a quick Google search says the part number was 276-081).

    I remember this in the 3rd season. I still remember the original one. It was a red L.E.D. light. At that time it was a dead ringer to my stereo receiver. 😀 Great show & history of Knight Rider!👏👏👏👍👍

      The original was indeed a flashing red square. The change was made in the middle of season 1, after the episode with KARR.

    What happened to the Insert Dash voice box for the original dashboard - the 'block flash' one, rather than the 3 lines?

    The first season didn't have those bars for his voice! It's a solid red box that lights up! I'm watching the first season rite now & it's a red box season 1!

    Thankyou for rescuing a part of K.I.T.T. I'm blessed as they are doing re-runs on TV at the moment. Season 1. Boy KITT looks a little beat up but I guess they had less money and raided the parts bin. Or it could be that building cars back in the 80's was rubbish and didn't care the bumper and bonnet fitted correctly.

    That was nuts. It must be worth a fortune. It would be so surreal to see it work with Davids voice.
