In Car Pc Touch screen Making - Rabster - 16-11-2018

ok so we now have another section of my project completed see details below, there are not alot of pictures of the production stage but mainly the finished article.

so anyway 1st things 1st i had to but another screen, after having a liliput screen in my nav housing which seemed to perform wonderfully i hunted for the smae model again.

liliput 619gl

i then attacked this to make it fit inside the standard IS200 Fascia adaptor alot of you are familiar with The walk through HERE

the same principal applies except i cut the existing screen housing apart to make it fit inside the hole

i then used Hurricane & plastic filler to smooth it all followed by primer and paint

So yeah umm here is the finished article in the car

shortly after this i took the pc back out the car to do some work mainly software based but as its been slow due to weather lately

Main thing was to: -

install a Relay board Driver
Windows Updates
Adjust PSU boot times etc (carnetix PSU2410) adjusted by pc software
Customize background of software
attempt to fix satnav problem...

well out of all the above the Sat nav is still outstanding, don't think that's to bad considering lol

Lets start with the background this is done via a Hack in centrafuse once installed you can place pictures into the images directory and either have them rotate through each time it boost or lock it to a image.

i chose a pic of my car which has been customized

So here is before

pic after

so with this installed i then moved onto the Realy board, the whole reason for this is im running out of places to install switches lol , this particular board runs on USB with a 12v input and can switch 12v via relays so i have assigned 4 circuits to start with

Circuit 1 - Inter cooler
Circuit 2 - Strobe Lights
Circuit 3 - Front Camera
Circuit 4 - Audio Amps.

the software has been developed to work as a hack so once installed will automaticly install the relevant task area and buttons on the Centrafuse front End

Labelled up circuits ok only 2 labelled but you get the idea

here is the board in test status on my Living room floor
[Image: bd4f8f2a.jpg]

as you can see LED2 is illuminated this means that the Relay is now in the Normally open position closing the circuit thus giving me a 12v output on that switch

when you press a button on the touch screen the button illuminates green to indicate its operation
[Image: 156a5c81.jpg]

the board can be set with 2 system
syetem one to allow toggle press (so it flashes the output upon being pressed non latching)

or

System two Latched output (a single press on the circuit will latch the output and stays latched until pressed again)

Hope you like what you see

very nice indeed andrew Wink

i'd love to have the knowledge to be able to do that.
plus i'd be scared of damaging them and having to buy another screen lol

Chri5 we can do one for you car if you want ill work out the bits you need and we can sort something out much better than a double din radio.

Looks good mate, lot of work gone into it.

Oh meant to say i also installed a HD radio circuit in the car it still runs through old antenna but works a treat and has a custom cable thats been designed to work with the Front end Centrafuse kinda plug and play other than giving it power

the only thing to remember when doing anything radio wise on the IS200 is the antenna is a powered one and as such must be powered after removing standard radio same applies for many other cars and 90% of decent aftermarket radios have a Power antenna Output

wow man you must never sleep and if you do is this were you dream up all this stuf to put in the car. might just put in a satalite dish and be done with it. :lol:

In Car Pc Touch screen Making - Rabster - 16-11-2018

you tell me what you want it to do and we can go from there you can run a total of 36 relays together on this program

so im thinking i may change my heated seats to a switch on the PC possibly wire a vent circuit in that's 3 switches taken ummm lol im liking the idea of an ejector seat as it goes....
