Carputer project
Hello all...
right now I am thinking of making my own Carputer project thingy :) I've got a friend who really knows his stuff, has done his own and has been running it for a while now. I've got an old P3 rig to use. I need a ideally 2 7" monitors. 1 a touch screen, the other just a normal. GPS receiver and a powersupply to connect to the car itself. Anyone ever done this in the Zed? My biggest issue is going to be figuring out where to put the monitors (or just the 1!) Where do people think? :) |

http://www.kaneaston.co.uk/zs/zsinstall23.jpg there are a number of ways you can build one....you can use an old pc motherboard, prebuilt systems or build one from scratch...i opted to build my own to my own specification if you are using a PC motherboard, it will be more power hungry (cpu) then a mini ITX motherboard, unless you get a decent power supply :D best place to look in www.digital-car.co.uk , excellent forum, lots of help available and if i can help you with anything give me a shout good place for supplies is www.linitx.com and for cabling www.kenable.co.uk |
sounds like a cool little project buddy! just up my street too :-) I considered this but got lazy, gave up and bought a fold out touch screen jobby.
shafz is obv the man to talk to, but if u need any localish hands on help or advice I'll lend a hand :-) 2 minds r better than one! may need custom brackets etc etc which I can also help with :-) |
You should also include a wireless card, so if u park-up somewhere u can nick their unsecured network, which is always fun :)
