Carputer — future plans
Things I still have to do on my Carputer:
- Wire the rear monitor to pull power from the Opus PSU. (I wired the Touchscreen already.) This will give it a cleaner signal and keep it powered after the ignition is turned off. Also, it will survive crank.
- Install the DVD-ROM drive
- Replace the DVD-ROM drive (doesn’t seem to like CDs)
- Switch power-off timer to 60 minutes (now at 40 minutes)
- Replace the Opus with a Carnetix so standby can become useful
- Better GUI. Experimenting with FrodoPlayer now. Looks pretty sweet so far. Needs more tweaking.
- Trick out the Lilliput to power up automatically.
- Create playlists for all my multi-VOB file DVD rips.
- Reorganize my ancient music collection
- Build a frame for the DVD-ROM and the extra USB ports.
I’ll update this list in this blog entry as time goes on.
