Then i am busy.....
SkiPi - All in one car "module" project thread
- Thread starter sk93
- Start date
Ha ha no pi$$ taking your not capable of that!!!
All i really want is track name and a proper i-pod integration. A few bits like the roof and indicators. I can live without having a tablet if the original screen can be used.

Agreed.....
Perhaps you might have more luck if you told //MM that the 'hugs and kisses' would be from your girlfriend :hairdryer:[/quote]sk93 said:

I'm sure I can provide that.
Not sure about the original screen, but seeing as you've got one, I can always use you as the guinea pig
Ok cool well lets give that a try. I just dont have any spare car money this year now.....

I can stuff some balloons up my shirt and wear a wig?
Failing that, I'd be looking for remuneration MY way

I don't know... sounds like your asking me to exchange a kiss from my missus, in order for you to play with my pipe for an hour or two..
OMG!! Ian fix you own exhaust 
I diffidently dont want my hands on your pipe.......
And shall we agree to keep our own hand and kiss associated with our own partners
I will do you know i will. Payment we can work that out over a beer. I would like my roof to work of the key and i would like some sort of cool trickery from either the screen or tablet. I might have to sell a kidney to get that though. We can discuss all that over a few beers.

roof is no issue.. I may be upgrading my tablet in my car somepoint soon, so if I do, you can have the old tablet..
but yes.. beer discussions indeed!
Done deal i will talk to my bro and be back intouch. Can you text me your new phone number buddy.
done.. now.. lets get this thread back on track eh?Machine monkey said:
Been looking at various other "mainboard" options in comparison to the Pi.
Whilst the Pi is great in virtually every way, there's still an issue with it taking ~8 seconds (at present) to boot up.
Whilst not a major issue, it does mean things like remote roof raise / lower won't work for 8 seconds if the car has gone to "sleep" (eg, been left alone for about 15-20 minutes).
You'd have to press unlock, wait about 8 seconds, then you'd be able to do it.
I've got to shutdown / reboot the Pi as the IBUS goes down for power reasons.. I reckon with everything on it, it'll be drawing about 1amp of power at full tilt, meaning it'd drain a standard z4 battery in ~70 hours if it wasn't being charged.
Not a problem for daily drivers, but becomes one if you leave it for a few days for whatever reason.
So, some of the options:
Arduino
These boards will boot instantly, meaning there'd be no delay.
However, they're not "fast" processor wise, don't have a native sound card, and can't be "threaded".
All of these negatives can be combated however.
netuino
Again, boots instantly, with the bonus of running the .net micro framework (my "native" language)
Again however, it's still not a powerful processor, doesn't have a native sound card, but CAN be threaded very easily.
FEZ
instant boot, runs .net micro fw, and has a soundcard
However, it's expensive in comparison to all the others.
I think I'm going to get one of each board, replicate the basics on all of them, and see if I can find a winner.
If anyone has experience with the boards, specifically around the negatives mentioned, or anything else I've missed, let me know
I've also created my own IBUS interface now, so can cut out the expensive resler interface (mine costs about £1.13, as apposed to around £20)
Also, still looking for a wiring diagram for the central console if anyone can help with that.
Finally.. thinking about starting this as a kickstarter / indiegogo project.... thoughts?
