Getting Started
Hello, everyone.
I just got my dream car, a 1968 Ford Mustang. It's in good running condition, but as with any 40 year old car, it needs work in different areas, including paint. One of those areas is technology, and I am planning on building a CarPC for my pony.
My basic goals are this.
1. Basic Vehicle integration, to include the following
a. Fuel Tank levels ( Current system not working)
b. Tachometer (Vehicle does not have one)
c. Vehicle Speed
d. Mileage Calculator
2. GPS
3. Media Center (Movies and MP3's)
4. Support for remote screens (Movies in the back for the kids)
5. Wireless access to vehicle for media transfer
6. Maitenance Log (Vehicle repairs, oil changes, part replacements)
I've started building a mysql backend for the maitenance log and a refuel log. I'm also using the same system to create a vehicle todo list. My goal is to make to create the most awesome vehicle history any collector has ever seen. I'm also researching vehicle integration, so if anyone has any suggestions for hardware used to integrate with the speedometer, fuel tank and or tach, please let me know.
