I'll have to have a look when I am at home, I don't have a camera here at work

The skin is called pdc.skin if not it won't work.

Also (I think) you need to load the skin with the PDC command and not load;pdc.skin

Normally the screen is automatically loaded when you engage reverse gear, however I added also the command "PDC" to test the plugin, so, as Enforcer said, you need to load the skin with the this command and not load;pdc.skin, otherwise the cameara will not be activated.

Well, I've got my sensors painted and installed. Now I need the stuff to make it work.
Robby, I will send you an e-mail.

Nice installation, now you need only a backup camera to enjoy the plugin

MGD · 07-19-2008, 10:46 AM

Ha, I have the camera alright, will be installed this weekend.
All I need is the board and the PIC.

looks great Robby,

Quick q for you though - how'd you get RR to automatically switch to the plugin when you engage reverse?

Cheers

Ok, so the camera gets wired into the reversing signal, and then when it activates it triggers road-runner???

The camera is secondary, it is the reverse sensor controller that signals the RRPDC plugin.

Added Greek language in the config tool

Yeah I'm interested in this part of things too.

How does the reverse sensor controller know the cars in reverse ? Is it wired into the reverse light circuit ???

By reverse sensor controller we mean the box with the transmitter that all the sensors plug into right ? It'll be in the rear of the car and will send it's info to the USB based receiver that Robby designed.. ??

Just want to make it clear so I and others understand.

Yes the reverse sensor main control is powered by the reverse light, so it is only active when you are in reverse.

When it is on the USB interface by Robby detects this and then sends a command to RR to go to the PDC screen.
