#Raspberry pi carputer os install
That was about the only issues really, i got a 7" TFT screen from ebay for about £24 -they are the ones sold for reversing cameras and as it has 2 video inputs that switches to the reverse picture when you engage reverse I can still install a reverse camera and use the screen. This was solved perfectly with a Kensington noise reduction lead from Amazon - again about a tenner IIRC This is very common when connecting the Pi audio via mini jack in the the car aux in. Because of interference from the audio unit and the Pi the sound had issues. You can then run the Pi from one of the usb slots in the hub and the rest of the slots are from the Pi to the hub.So that was that problem solved for about a tenner.Ģ. I couldn't find a sensibly priced 12v USB hub so I used a standard hub that runs at 7v via a multi-voltage adaptor that plugged into 12v socket. I had 2 x 12v sockets to power the Pi and the screen in the cubby hole out of sight. You soon realise that the Pi's 2 usb sockets aren't enough and you need an externally powered hub. It was basically pretty simple but I ran in to a couple of small issues which I've not seen properly addressed anywhere:ġ. We don't generally watch scheduled TV, just box sets and movies and these are all stored via a usb stick accessed by the Pi. However, it works fine where it is - the missus can watch video while I drive and when we both watch it's via the 19" LCD in the back that has video fed from the Pi via a video splitter. I think the screen will fit nice and flush into the double din space so I think my next job will be to swap places with the stereo. As it turns out there wasn't room for that so the usb hub sits on the side. As it is, the monitor I bought has 2 inputs, so I will probably just get a cheap rev camera from ebay and send it straight to the monitor.Īs you'll see, I put the screen in the cubby hole - I got my measurements wrong and envisaged room for the screen along with flush mounted usb sockets all in the hole. If I ever did get round to that I would prob just run another Pi with Raspbian installed. I originally wanted it to hook up to a web cam for reversing, GPS and other stuff but OpenElec isn't the most flexible for that sort of thing. Basically it's for media - audio & video and XMBC is one of the best systems for this. I used a rev B 500mb, with OpenElec OS running XMBC. Essentially it's creating a solution for a problem that didn't exist - my iPhone could do everything & more that the R-Pi is doing but being of the Knight Rider generation, I always wanted a computer in the car. Thought I would share my adventures in putting in a R-Pi into the Bongo.
