erf 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 In the begining a simple plexiglass and after people's comments, i try to make my own bezel as the ones found on ebay for E39 are not looking good to me. Some plaster, some earth, some mastic, a lot of work and time in an attempt to build my bezel, well actually a plug in order to make a fiberglass mould. in black to check errors finally rounded a bit more angles, thinned lines of the bezel Took the computer from my other car without reworking the frontend. How it used to look with a motorized in-dash screen in my other car After rework the frontend and some parts of the software Internet Trafic in city and in the country as well with the highways full screen as well with road informations displayed like cameras Ibus sniffer and finally redirection of some informations to the display The actual computer beiing built containing some automation parts Videos : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2meqq_bmw-et-radars_auto http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2nbuh_gp...imultanes_music http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2n7b0_video-player_music http://www.dailymotion.com/rkraft_fr/video/x2mejr_bmw1_music Link to post Share on other sites

[kick] 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 What is frontend software? Link to post Share on other sites
erf 0 Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hi, The frontend software is my work and the design as well it runs with linux that's why it could seem unusual. I chosed linux for it's strengh, stability, security and viruses and crap immunity but it can still cooperate with windows as well to get shared files. I made several adaptations, it runs in a Mercedes Benz environment with a simple coding wheel http://www.dailymotion.com/rkraft_fr/video...e-embarque_auto but this is nothing, next to come is promising more fun, it's a mix of artificial intelligence that you can chat with at http://www.r-kraft.com/robot/src/talk.php and this thing here a joke for a forum member so i added german accent http://www.dailymotion.com/rkraft_fr/video..._roadster2_auto but this avatar coupled with the intelligence should be something apart. Here the voice recognition http://www.dailymotion.com/rkraft_fr/video...et-mot-cle_tech and as in a car it is noisy environment, it is usefull to get a magic word to separate parasit noises and avoid false analysis http://www.dailymotion.com/rkraft_fr/video...et-mot-cle_tech Actually i'm working on eye tracking and gestures to complete this voice recognition solution to use multimedia system, in the end it should be a complete multimodal system. mmm forgot to set the link to the eye tracking http://www.dailymotion.com/rkraft_fr/video...ch-my-eyes_auto http://www.dailymotion.com/rkraft_fr/video...ye-tracker_tech Link to post Share on other sites
erf 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Checking how it would look instead of the plexi, this pic has been done with the old version of the bezel, looks too heavy but it can give an idea on how it could look in a E39. I'm waiting my car to take pics of the new version I just received the next part which will be integrated for the other bezel :D A slot in dvd rw Link to post Share on other sites
[kick] 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 How can I get that software ? Link to post Share on other sites
erf 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 At the present moment the software standalone is not available because it's messed with the kernel but after the meet i have this summer and depending of the results, i think i will have more visibility. For now i can' t decide because i don't know if the ship builder will be willing to have exclusivity on the product or if he will be ok to share. In case he wants exclusivity then i will make another one different version for Bimmers owners i could offer to the community. I hope this answer will satisfy you :D Link to post Share on other sites

erf 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Wow this is an impressive work :D I would never try to play with fiberglass and dashboard, i'm total beginner with all those stuffs, i mean dismantling all and simply jump with an idea and fibers. Basically i'm not so confident with fiber works so i rather prefer to stay in my domain like software and automation and my bezel is a real pain lol. When you see the poor piece of bezel i built, this can sounds funny compared to your work, so kudos to you ! What kind of motherboard do you have ? Link to post Share on other sites

erf 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 My first carpc was built with a no name card, pentium p266 with 512 K memory, hdisk of 4 Gb and playstation's screen i recycled for the in car use with a vga to s-video converter. It was not looking good as the bezel was of metal with a sticked velours lol :D What software were you using with your first carpc and what were the functions of it ?

erf 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Last plug before i start fiberglass mould, this plug includes enough room for a dvd player within the space of the first faceplate i built but nothing more than a screen and a slot-in dvd player will fit :) Link to post Share on other sites
erf 0 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I will see tomorrow under daylight where are still some tiny bad spots, it's too late for now but most of the second bezel is near to be finished. Link to post Share on other sites

erf 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Novi motor u auto http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5zr9x_mov04b_auto ali do kad je bio auto u garaza ni sam mogo da radim sa preciznosti. Morao sam da popravim "faceplate" da udze bes problema, sad nema mesto ni sa papir da se stavi gore ili dole ali eto uslo je fino. Sad je vreme za "finition" da bude sve kao iz fabrika na industrialska visina. Ovde stari mrtvi cd rom koji me posluzil za da proverim dubucina i prilaz za zicama. Link to post Share on other sites

Ni sam ni strafe zatego, samo sam drvene komada postavio da mogu odabrati farba, ili mat ili lakirana. Link to post Share on other sites
