To get the Globatsat BU-353 working with Centrafuse, you'll need to use SIRFSTAR DEMO.

ibfragalot,

I too have a miata (2002 SE) and am putting together a CarPC based on an AMD Geode SBC. Lots of good info in your thread - thanks.

I really like how clean the screen install looks. I splurged on a CarTFT transreflective because I almost always have the top down (sunny California) and wanted to be able to see the screen in direct sunlight.

I was originally going to try to recess the screen behind the dashboard so I could cover it with a fake factory radio - something to try to keep thieves away. However, I really like how clean yours looks. Aren't you worried about theft, though?

Do you have any pictures of how the screen mounts to the ByByte kit? I presume you had to dismantle the screen and just mount the LCD and electronics to the back of the 701 kit?

Thanks,
MPR

Theft is a bit of a worry, though the screen does catch the eye less than the flashy head unit I used to have. Looking in thru the tinted windows it just looks like a blur of black on the dash.

I'll try get you some pics of the lilliput/bybyte mount later today. I was surprised how easy install was. Recessing should be easy too.

Well, I got most of it installed in the car today. No pictures yet, as it needs to be cleaned up first! (Did the grunt work, now I just gotta make it pretty heh)

A number of things not working/needing troubleshooting thou..

1) Touchscreen not detected. I suspect either it does'nt like the hub, or the hub does'nt like the 5m usb extension cable. May need to be powered.
2) No Audio. Have'nt used the amp/speakers in months, need to go over the wiring again.
3) The WAKE-ON-LAN only works 50% of the time. I suspect my network cable is dodge, the cable isn't tight in the slot. If a new cable fails, I'll just wire the darn thing directly to the eeepc on button.

ANYBODY know about getting rid of the Blue "no signal" screen when you turn on the lilliput? I may have to make up a power delay circuit so it waits until the PC is sending a signal before turning on. The blue screen is ugly.

But yeah, most of its done. That was ALOT of wiring!!! Just need another day to clean it up and bughunt.

Apologies for no pictures yet! They will be up soon.

hi what version of eeepc you have and what bios version.

i have a eeepc and i cannot get wake on lan to work...
just wanted to know if you got it working successfully

MP3Car.com

 

rx2nr

and the pics. =)

veiloctane

i might of figured out why the eeepc only turns on 50% of the time using wake-on-link

this is what i have tested figured out on my eeepc 701

eeepc will not wake up when wol connected.
1. eeepc is shutdown fully with out any A/C power
2. eeepc did not shut down clean
3. eeepc shutdown successfully but A/c power disconnected.

eeepc sucessfull wol tests
1.leave power AC connected with power. *** not best soluton as will run batt dead**
2.use standby mode


to solve this wake-on-link issue i have simply sent my power alerts in windows xp to force standby mode after 95% battery life when i turn my ignition off it disconnected the a/c power then windows alerts me to standby mode.this also makes start up a lot faster.

I did a eeePC install in a VX Commodore yesterday. If you're still having issues with the PC not turning on with the screen closed, take the PC apart, and pull the magnet out of the screen fascia.

Any chance of some pics of this install? I am about to install a 701 into my Patrol, so I am keen to see what others are doing

braidy

Yeah, I will try to get some pics. There are some low quality pics of the install at http://myspace.com/bmincarent

howdy - been off a while, got a bit side tracked with other stuff.

Well I'm back on the EEECarPC now, spent the whole day working on my system while the missus was away :P

I see you guys had the same problem as me - the Wake On Lan only working half the time. This was happening to me too after I got it installed and is very very annoying. I spent 3 hours trying to figure it out, then spent 15mins wiring directly to the on/off button on the EEEPC =) Very easy, and it works perfectly every time now If you need some tips on how to do this/how to open EEE let me know. You'll void your warranty, but mines already passed so I did'nt care.

Happy to see the final of CF2.0 is released, getting that now.

I'll keep updating and post some pics later in the week. Have fun all.

A little basic math

1) Sitting in car for an hour messing with software + already low battery = can't pickup girlfriend from the airport =

2) Reversing out to check the GPS + not checking cables hanging out the door = ripping apart the subby input cable causing a loud BOOM as the cable drags along the pavement.

3) Pressing 'Continue' on that weird repetitive "Found New Hardware USB Input" dialog = No Touchscreen = 'quality' Microsoft software just pwned your a**.

4) The big glowy hole on the side of the portable butane soldering iron = extreme pain, even from an inch away.

Thus is my past few days.
