Pi in the SVX
Hello all!
Seeing as I have a lot of projects going on, I finally got around to hard wiring my Raspberry Pi into the SVX. I have some plans for a particular application coming up in the future which is in something that anyone will be able to use on any operating system. Just thought you guys might appreciate a raspberry Pi computer being wired into the SVX. It actually looks pretty good for such a small screen.

Re: Pi in the SVX
Cool. I had been kicking around the idea of building a serious car pc with a screen in the radio spot. For tuning the megasquirt. But a screen small enough to fit there would not be easy enough to see for tuning. And I have two laptops, and there is an android app (shadowdash) that can communicate with a megasquirt if you add a bluetooth module.
What are you thinking to do with yours?

I have placed the pi under the dash in a discrete location. It is not visible from the outside and with the cover closed you cannot see the dvd player/screen. I thought about getting a separate monitor for the pi, but in the end due to keeping it stock looking and keeping sticky fingers away from my stuff I decided on a Dvd player with input.

I'm just piecing together an HKS CAMP system to use for my engine management needs. Programming is the biggest pain in the ass.

Re: Pi in the SVX
I have a love for programming, currently pursuing CS degree. What language do you plan on programming in?

Re: Pi in the SVX
No programming required, although I'll probably be retrofitting some modern sensors to work with this system.

Re: Pi in the SVX
I am interested to see how far you get with that. Once you get things rolling I'd love to see a finished project!

Re: Pi in the SVX
We have thought about a double DIN carputer for years but the final cost was always way too high. Now prices and the performance points have improved. For a stand alone starting point we are going to experiment with a Pi and/or miniITX as the main board and have also ordered a Hong Kong touch screen and case from ebay (230$ shipped express) at
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121058156106...84.m1439.l2649 The discussion thread at http://www.mp3car.com/lcd-display/14...01-36-s-h.html Is mostly positive in the later posts (after some bug fixes). Sadly resistive touch screen but appears very responsive. Plan to run a Linux for fast boot (and for the Pi). However there are more drivers and hardware support under Windows. What we want to tie in via USB A GPS or via the bluetooth receiver Tire pressure monitoring http://www.portalmediapc.com/tpms.html WIFI Bluetooth A backup camera A mechanical volume control http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Techno...N%3DB003VWU2WA A USB FM tuner stick and if we can the OBD 1 software being worked on by here by Wikedjuggalo.
