Car Computer Ideas
meta-markup: 0
Not having a terribly inspired day at work, but I have been getting some ideas
concerning a car computer project. I had originally been thinking of doing
something similar to the DashPC project, but that
requires hacking out part of the console for the touchscreen LCD panel.
Instead, I got to thinking that something like this
would work out well as a display. Then I just hook it up to something
along these lines,
which is powered from 12V, stuck under the passenger seat.
That takes care of display and the PC. I can hookup a serial GPS and stick in
a PCI 802.11b card. It would be able to run GpsDrive
and Kismet, as well as be able to playback
CD, Ogg/Vorbis, and MP3 audio. The only thing I need at that point is some
sort of control interface. Maybe my old I-Opener keyboard would work initially.
Though what would I have the pizza button do?
