And then Im find first little problem. I need case for carpc. hmmmmmmmmm where can I get it? Maybe build it from old PC case? no to hard

And Im find old radio from mothers stilo

Looks nice maybe I can use it

Nice work. You should be proud of what yo have achieved. Be sure to update this thread as you go along. I am sure that a lot of people will watch with keen interest.

Man that PICO mobo is small.

Excelent work Djan, but let me advise you to change the location of the TMS receiver. If you would have some opportunity to receive the signal transmitted by sensors in tires, you should put the receiver in a plastic box away the pc hardware in order to reduce the interference.

hi Robby,
This has been position for testing, in this position I think I will have trouble with receiving signals and Im thinking to put receiver in plastic box (i have prepared it). Because this case I think will work like anti-interference case...

Robby BMW · 12-11-2007, 01:58 PM

Well, the main problem is that the metalic box acts as a shield for the receiver and doesn't allow the reception of radio signals, so a plastic box is a must.
Also the proximity of the PC hardware could be a source of interference for the receiver.
The best thing would be to place it in a central point of the vehicle between the front tires and rear ones (I've placed it near the shifter).

Hi everyone,

Motherboard VIA EPIA NX15000G

one word, SWEET. 2 questions, 1. where did you get the TPMS? and does it just tell you that you have a tire going slack or will it tell you which tire it is?
