Slashdot Mirror

www.dashpc.com is another example. It's a commercial product but I'm releasing the schematics, board layout files, Gerber files, etc. to the open source community.

I may lose a couple of sales to DIYers, but I think it's good karma to give back to the community that has given me so much.

Whither DashPC?

Heh, you might like this book:

We can provide you with hardware in exchange for writing the software.

We've been in this space for quite some time now and we're very familiar with it.

DashPC is [one of] the intersection(s) of the car and computer tech.

The DashPC is an open-source vehicle human-machine interface. It has OBDII vehicle interfacing, mp3s, gps, dvd, cds, xm, radio, etc. etc. etc.

DISCLAIMER: I'm the originator of the DashPC project (which has been featured here before)

I can't think of many other sources that use CANbus for data transfer. I think your best bet is going to be VGA distribution (assuming that you're trying to send the same signal to multiple sources). We did this a few years ago as part of the dashpc project. It's nothing new.

However, if you're trying to multiplex a VGA signal, you're on your own - I don't think there's a definitive method of doing that (yet).

Please note that I'm assuming that my understanding of your question is clear. If not, please feel free to elaborate.

You can also find a ton of "proven in vehicle" products at dashwerks.com.

DISCLAIMER: I own above named website.

This site is all about car-mounted PCs. I'm pretty sure it's the same guy that sells this DC/DC power supply.
