Complete glove box re-model with LCD screen project

[Wes79]

So... I have a grand idea of a plan which is more a long term project but would like to complete before FCS 2014.
Essentially what I'm going to try and do is have a red Perspex cover to the glovebox with a section cut out for an LCD screen attached to a battery operated Raspberry Pi.

I have seen a project with a Pi hooked up via USB to an ODB2 reader feeding back RTI to a screen which I'd like in the glovebox. The temp in the box will be fine and I can keep it cool which is good.

I can also use it as a media centre via Bluetooth to the stereo and also hook it up via wifi to a 4G Alcatel wifi box!

A bit ambitious but a good project for under £150 for the new year!

Sounds awesome, look forward to seeing it

I told Liam and 'of course' he was going to do that with his DS3.......

Stage one completed today. Tomorrow is first boot time and setup the wifi and operating system and wireless keyboard/touchpad.

Have you put that together yourself Wes?

[Wes79]

Well I bought the raspberry pi and put it in the case

[Wes79]

Lots more bits to sort and long way to go but if it all works will look awesome!

[Gazski66]

yea i bet it will, you need to keep us posted on this mate

[Wes79]

Of course I will
Got a good piece of Perspex for the glove box lying around too which practically matches the red dash on my DS3 too so that will help.
