This is my attempt at putting a computer in my beloved car. For now it will be primarily used for EQing all of my speakers, but later I plan to replace the current android radio in the car with a touchscreen display that will be connected to the computer, and that will be controlled with a custom UI (probably made in Qt).
- Battery voltage monitoring
- Schematics of the whole ordeal
- Custom UI
-
- Show current song that's being played either through Bluetooth or through the computer itself
-
- Bluetooth: play/pause, next, previous buttons
-
- Remove included Android Radio and replace it with a touchscreen connected to the computer itself
- Physical Buttons for volume up/down, play next/previous song, etc.
- AUX Input
- Communication between "EC" and the OS

These folders contain code that allows communication between linux and the Atmega8 based ""EC"" through Serial
- EC as in ""Embedded Controller""
- Primary purpose of this EC is to control the power coming into the whole PC, and acts as a protection, so the computer can't drain the battery if it for some reason won't turn off...
This directory contains things like workarounds, custom packages, config files, etc. used in linux (excluding ec-userspace)
