Project Detroit: How to Read Your Car’s Engine Data with OBD-II
Apr 16, 2012 at 5:28 PM@nesher: I will ask that the comments go back on track to Brian's amazing OBD-II library and questions related to that. If you have issues, please email me directly. Clint.Rutkas@Microsoft.com
Project Detroit: How to Read Your Car’s Engine Data with OBD-II
Apr 15, 2012 at 11:33 PM@nesher: I'm aware of both. The off the shelf pico isn't bright enough for the output size we wanted. I got some microvision picos for testing to verify this early on. I highly doubt either solution could be installed without modifying your car in some way, shape or form. Any current hud has a projection system that lives in the dash.
As I stated in my prior comment, unless there is something out there I'm not aware of that the public can purchase, a normal person could not implement our solution. We only want to release stuff that you guys can actually leverage.
What we provided with OBD-II, you could do what we did and leverage it as the instrument cluster. That skin is from the detroit project even.
Project Detroit: How to Read Your Car’s Engine Data with OBD-II
Apr 14, 2012 at 6:20 PM@nesher: We're going to release a few more articles and code from Project Detroit. A full article on the HUD however is not one of them.
One of Coding4Fun's goal is we do the hard stuff so you can do the fun, cool, and interesting stuff. For what we're releasing from Project Detroit, the goal is for stuff the community can actually use without creating a crazy concept car. The OBD2 library only requires a cheap part that can be bought off the internet. This means anyone can do it with a modern car, a laptop, and the OBD2 cord can use the library!
The issue with our HUD implementation is it required structural changes to the physical car on top of modifying the dash and welding in mounts for the projectors. The projector also require a power source which means you'll need an inverter to go from DC to AC. You have to remember, we had one of the world's best automotive shops, west coast customs, helping us implement the HUDs.
Are the HUDs cool, you bet. Based on other crazy projects coding4fun has done in the past and how much work I know is required for doing our solution, I don't think this is a good project to for us to release.
