Plans for Raspberry Pi In Car Project
Original concept notes: MiniCarComputer
Progress/Timeline
- Found box from neighbour's electrical junk- Found spare USB Hub and pulled cover off
- Got to play with my dremel...
- Boards etc Mounted in box https://goo.gl/photos/557hZXdP5od1e4TA7
- decided to use my RPi3 instead of pi1.
- got a spare USB memory stick to use
- booted up raspbian console via HDMI and set up networking & OS updates
- i/o Connected and tested https://goo.gl/photos/EBsePoqLMcXUVTai9
- Ordered RTC and Amp modules
- Tested Pi power board functionality...
- Decided on circuitry for triggers and overrides https://goo.gl/photos/yKk6YVA8tEDinBCm8
- Obtained additional components, decided on switch types
- Got i/o pins working for hold and ACC active
- Moved GPIO pins as interfered with placing the RTC
- Got the RTC working
- Scripted the first part of bootup to set the GPIO

i/o Setup
Using this reference https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/gpio-plus-and-raspi2/README.mdand https://sites.google.com/site/semilleroadt/raspberry-pi-tutorials/gpio
Used a 4 pin floppy disk connector on physical pins 7,9,11,13 which equates to IO4,GND,IO17,IO27.
The connector has fly leads of yellow (io4), black (gnd), black (IO17), red (IO27). The black was useful as a gnd for first testing IO but both black lead was then snipped.
Changed to individual pins - GPIO 27 and 17
GPIO Port 17 for HOLD (setting as 1 sets GPIO 17 to 3.3v)
sudo su
echo 17 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value
notes, this is obviously volatile... on reboot GPIO17 is high appears high, but is actually floating. It appears to drop low when direction is set to 'out'
GPIO Port 27 for ACC IN (Set as 3.3V when power is plugged in to the ACC+12V)
sudo su
echo 27 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/direction
cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio27/value
Time and Date
Decided to get a RTC as may not always have GPS and/or network. Wrong log times are annoying.https://nicegear.co.nz/raspberry-pi/high-precision-real-time-clock-for-raspberry-pi/
Can get similar for <$2 from china but this will do
Need to check pinouts - doesn't piggyback so need to make sure we don't need the same i/o pins.

GPS Setup
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/547/how-do-i-attach-a-gps-receiverJust needed to install gpsd and a bunch of stuff that comes with it
sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps
test status with cgps -s
Audio Output
HF: Sound output of some sort to a small speaker (I2S?), also 3.5mm audio to car audio input. Hardware switch to turn small speaker off (for music play etc)Ordered one of these... can get cheaper/similar but this should do

...need i2S pinouts for Pi3

Pi Camera Snapshots and Video
Pi Cam getting started https://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/getting-started-with-picamera/Pi Cam basics https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials/16021420-how-to-install-use-the-raspberry-pi-camera

Dashcam Video Store
- Connect dashcam via usb to pi, remove files from dashcam when stationary... upload to server when in wifi rangeMusic Server
- MPD server- sync of music when in wifi range
Navigation
Some sort of audio only navigation... i.e. select preset from menu, audio navigation?http://www.gpsdrive.de/features.shtml
