Carputer
So a while ago i bought a whole bunch of gadgets and setup my car to put a computer in it. So the things I am most excited about it for are as follows…
- 7 inch touchscreen LCD
- 160 gig hard drive for music/movies
- Wifi for wardriving and using the internet while I’m parked
- My cell phone data cable for Internet
- GPS guidance
- GPS tracking in realtime and logged
- Backup camera
Here are some images of the peices that will go into the setup Progress Pictures
So most of the stuff that I listed there I already had (minus the hard drive and LCD). There is already a front end for the software called Frodo Player. Yeah a kind of retarded name but a really cool interface.
One of the coolest thing about it I think is the GPS tracking so I can allow selected friends/family to see where I am/was etc. Anyways I figured that you kids may be interested in seeing a little preview of this tracking using Google Maps. So here is the really Cool Tracking System.
