Been looking at those Android based TV media players. Same specs as your Beagle Board but with wifi and BT for around $100. S0, APRS Tracker, Navit, CHiRP, D-RATS and other stuff for $100. And it'll fit the spare av-in line on my factory radio - result!! ARM based AutoPC looking pretty good! Been looking at those Android based TV media players.

I don't have much of one created yet, but I can scroll back through the station history, which is nice. It opens a lot more options (read: work) :) Yeah, I’ve got a wireless presentation remote connected to it now, which gives me five buttons for navigating an interface on the device.

Hmmmnnn. Having serious carputer ideas now. How about some push buttons so that you can toggle between tracker, navit (for the mapping, and some gps stats from xgps/gpsd?

I've thought about a soundmodem, but right now it's a single serial cable to the radio, which is way simple. I've already got too many wires under my seat :) Actually, I’m using a D700 in KISS mode.

Are you using an external TNC? It occurs to me that one could use Thomas Sailor's soundcard modem without too much grief. Thanks for an excellent project. Now I have something to put on that spare video input on my minivan's VES package. Hi Dan,

It works great, I compiled this new, extended version with network connection, on my NSLU2 and on my ubuntu. The network connection working... It seems, this will be my "poor-man" solution: in the car will working the NSLU2 with the tnc and if I want to see something, I put there a small laptop, and start the giu on it...Mybe later, I will try it on a routerboard with wifi connection too, hopefully, for the client will be usefull a cheap chinaes tablet, running linux on it too... Thanks again for the very quickly realized network extension! t.janos hg5apz Dan,
