There is, albeit indirectly related.Any progress on the car?
It's a Sunday/Monday reveal at best...the frame is there,...and there's still stuff to do before the metal goes up, but it'll look good when it's done.So let’s see it! The man cave sounds cool. Can’t wait until I can build my garage next to my house. I have the space, just need the $.
Mike I just want to clarify that the Dash I installed in the car using a 7" screen is the same one @stanglx2002 used in his car, in fact I am helping with the R&D on this product at the moment. It is Kurtis brainchild I can only take credit for the setup and installation of the unit. Its not as simple as loading TS onto an RPI there is alot going on behind the scenes for the full dash display as it is currently implemented, the short load time and splash screen are very much custom coding along with auto startup of TS and the power supply is a custom design as well. To make TS run as quickly and smoothly as possible the custom code also strips all the background applications so they dont use up RAM. Its a genius design Kurtis has done very well.Seems I'm always up to something.
Looking in on Steves thread got me thinking about how I could do something similar, only use a different approach to displaying the tuner studio desktop.
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about ( let's see....of the ten of you....that would be what?... Nobody?) STEVE has done what @stanglx2002 had done previously, and created a digital dash using a 39.00 project computer, and a 7" touch screen.
For me, I'd want it as a window into what was going on with the engine separate from the current gauge assortment. Allowing me to have a hard wired computer that I could access with a Bluetooth keyboard, and see on a screen that doubles as my entertainment/Nav/phone display interface. Unlike the other two guys that have to have all kinds of additional things going on because of how they're using it, I only need to see the stuff that Tuner Studio would ordinarily display on a computer monitor.
So,...the question comes up in my head....do I need this?
One one hand, having a touchscreen entertainment system in the monster would be cool. Right now, I only have this,...this weird little pioneer box in my dash that serves as my volume control, and offers me a choice of fm, or my phone as a listening source.
I'm a XM Sirius kinda guy...Android Auto would be a good thing, and having google maps on a 7" screen instead of my stupid HTC phone would be worth it alone. Couple to that being able to tune the car w/o a big assed laptop on board ...... Maybe I do.
Wanna be a french fry.
But,......It's gotta fit first...ill measure that tomorrow.
The rear wheels arrive here on Wed. American Racing is not high on my list of positive experiences. By the time they get here it'll be almost a month since finding them to be defective. Some customer service they have.
The wall should be significantly finished today. Even that had to be done over twice.
Looks like nothing has changed in 2019.

that's what I was talking about when I said that you guys had a whole bunch of other stuff going on besides what I want to do.Mike I just want to clarify that the Dash I installed in the car using a 7" screen is the same one @stanglx2002 used in his car, in fact I am helping with the R&D on this product at the moment.
