Pi in the SVX

[Wikedjuggalo]

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.

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?

My end goal is to have an application that can communicate with the stock ECU and monitor parameters. I don't play on going as far as megasquirt but being able to read data would be nice without having to connect/disconnect anything. I have always liked the idea of a carputer but not the idea of the wiring/size taken up of it. The Pi, although not powerful, is small and powerful enough to handle what I want.

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.

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

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

No programming required, although I'll probably be retrofitting some modern sensors to work with this system.
