July 2010 * r. d. 2010/07/17 20:01 * My documentation on this project is piss-poor at best. All I can say is that I'll try harder next time? ;) * I am adding a VU meter to the audio output -- two LM3915 LED drivers and these nifty looking LED light bars. Along with the 20×4 LCD and the indicator LEDs, the light bars are also green. * I am starting to think about v2 right now which will include a… text/html 2010-05-18T13:02:31-05:00 r. d. http://projects.floodgate.net/start?rev=1274202151&do=diff I suppose this is where I should write something inspirational about why you should read through this site. Truthfully, I have no such rant for you. This is where I document what I do. Ever since I embraced the open source Arduino platform, I've been trying to be more open in my designs and thus, this wiki was born. I plan on a couple things: text/html 2010-04-02T12:41:33-05:00 r. d. http://projects.floodgate.net/carproj2?rev=1270226493&do=diff This page does not currently house an active project. It includes ideas for the second version of my car project that are being left off due to costs and badassness. --- r. d. 2010/03/31 13:10 Original Car Project Home :: Projects Home The following is a short list of the reincarnation of the car project. Many of the ideas and items on this list are too cost prohibitive to consider, especially since I don't even have a working prototype. text/html 2010-04-02T12:33:51-05:00 r. d. http://projects.floodgate.net/carproj1:pins?rev=1270226031&do=diff Car Project Home :: Projects Home This document serves as the main reference for all wired connections in the car project.

This project was born out of the following article on engadget: * How-To: Make a solid-state A/V switcher This article/howto on its own would have directly solved a problem I had: too many audio sources in my car and only the one lonely cassette adapter (yea, my car is old enough to need one of those). I started researching part prices and always came to about $30 by… text/html 2010-04-01T12:14:14-05:00 r. d. http://projects.floodgate.net/carproj1:progress?rev=1270138454&do=diff Car Project Home :: Projects Home This page is no longer current.

Car Project Home :: Projects Home March 31st, 2010 * Rejecting the LCD4Wire library in favor of the built-in library in the Arduino IDE (saving the 1 pin is unnecessary). * Added in my massive ideas for the second version of the project on the carduino v2 page.
