CarMa 2011 (public beta) [updated 14-04-2011] *old thread*

[jsn]

I've uploaded a new build. For info, see post #3.

Again, enjoy!

To keep everyone updated, here's a small summary:

The TEMPer USB plugin is finished, it could have some more error-handling
when you remove the device while it's being used. This is not a priority item,
or do you remove your exterior temp sensor while operating your car?

Another plugin, to make a lot of people happy, is the OBD-II interface.
This plugin is currently being developed and we're expecting it to
release it by next weekend! We're using a ELM327 bluetooth device for
our development. Any ELM device should work, but we're not too sure
about the compatibility with other brands. More about this next week!


Regards,

Just wanted to let you know there is a new build online.
It includes the weather-service plugin, the (a bit buggy) OBD-II plugin and
tried to optimize the list-controls again. Should work better on touchscreens now.

Visit this link to download.

Enjoy!

Hey!

I'm surprised less people have posted in this thread. This looks great. I did a quick test and it seems it doesn't like 800x600? Only had 5 mins though so I may have missed something.

If I could get it running fullscreen I'd definitely help you test this out!

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Garmin should be placed in the default "C:\GarminMobilePC" or "C:\Garmin" folder.
An option to change this will be added to the configuration app later.

Let me know if you get it to work

No, this is correct, unfortunately the skin is resolution dependant.
However, an 800x600 (in widescreen aspect) skin is being designed right now.

And, to keep everyone updated:

We're working on embedding a different audio-engine.
Instead of using Winamp, we're focusing on a, somewhat more,
out-of-the-box experience with CarMa. The OBD is being tuned
and fixed, and the TEMPer plugin gained some error-correction
and failure recovery options.

A new build will be uploaded soon!

Cool, I'm always glad to hear this project is progressing....
