CarPC Project

AudiA4Turbo22,

Touchscreen taken from Mouser, Fujitsu model: T010-1301-T350 and chinese controller from ebay. Unfortunately no FIS yet.

How were you able to connect the screen to the RNS-E?

You use an RNSE MY 2010, is it VIM hacked?

No Vim hack exists for 2010 yet, would be very nice though. I'm using Kufatec's black box which works like a charm. I filled a fake button with a switch turning it on/off, the one that is near ESP button.

There's a 4-wire flex tail coming out of touch panel that you need to put through RNS-E "guts" and connect it to controller which can be placed in a right-side compartment near DVD mechanism. Of course you need to solder some wires before that.

if u can write a diy I'm sure we'd all be very grateful.

I'd love to do this.

Unfortunately I didn't make any pictures of touchscreen setup while I was making it. Therefore it's only what I said before. But I may do another project and make pictures+dyi, I'll keep you updated.

I'm successful with external control of kufatec IMA basic-plus, I use a arduino board that's processing the analog signal and send button's events over serial connection to GhostEvent that simulate keyboard.

I have some questions to you, what really vga to rgb conversion you use? Can you post your connection with pin nr from rns-e -> conversion pcb -> vga?


I'm waiting this information to make my pcb and test my board with nvidia ion2 gpu,I hope can be used with PowerStrip [-o<

asianremedy you are my hero
I want something like this in my car.
I need a shop list:
1. RNS-E 2010 the best (better resolution than the old rns-e)
2. Touch screen 6,5" + touch screen usb controller module
3. Any canusb module to send info about tv mode and use mfsw (whith can you recommend?)
4. VGA to RGB converter
5. Some programs centrafuse itc
If I missed anything please let me know
cheers

There's no signal conversion but only synchronization conversion, that's the point.

VGA to RGB+sync converter

This is what I'm using for converting HV Sync to Composite Sync RNS-E uses.

Here's a pinout for RNS-E 2010:

VGA Green to RNS-E PIN 16
VGA BLUE to RNS-E PIN 31
VGA RED to RNS-E PIN 32
VGA HV SYNC through converter to RNS-E PIN 15
VGA 4xGround to RNS-E PIN 30

And you should get a picture after connecting wires.

P.s. I tried Nvidia ION1 with powerstrip but couldn't get any positive result. It was possible only with Intel GPU but try it with second edition maybe it would work, who knows

All of it, yes. You can scroll a few pages back there's a small tutorial on how to connect CAR PC to RNS-E or see my previous post on how to properly connect it to each pin.

Canusb module is a perfect solution but I'm still unaware on how to send can messages to enable TV function, therefore Kufatec's multimedia adapter is used.

On this the RNS-E Pin 15 connect to CSync right?

This diagram is a little bit more complex that you indicates, what is better for me? I already have this one..

Bad news.. I didn't see your posts about bad results with ion... Hope works with me.. What motherboard you have on your CarPC?

There's no practical difference between these diagrams as I checked them both. You can use any of them.

I have Intel D945GCLF2 motherboard.


AudiA4B6US,

There's just a slight problem using canusb for TV enable - carpc should be up and running for RNS-E to receive a 8 bit signal, right?

yes u r right

so now you dont use powerstrip any more?

I'm using powerstrip to stabilize and smooth the picture

asianremedy, I make some search about powerstrip and nvidia ion and looks that powerstrip works on it.

You already try something like that?

I tried every possible way though the problem is with ION chipset it doesn't allow Powerstrip to switch to 15 khz horizontal frequency, that's the point. Whereas Intel hack does it. I don't have any information about second generation of Nvidia ION therefore you could try to test it out.

Can you help me with the powerstrip? i made some tests with same board as you (but the single core version) and I can't get a stable picture.. I play with powerstrip but I can't activate the interlaced opinion..

I want to test a good picture for next stage.. test my ion2 board..

If anyone can post the best settings for powerstrip (for old RNS-E < 2010) :-k
