Efika 5200B Project
Car on-board system

in category Other
proposed by hornet on 20th February 2006 (accepted on 20th March 2006)
Project Summary
My idea is to build an car on-board information system, including driving conditions information (speed, RPMs, temperatures, fuel level, etc), GPS navigation and - optionally - multimedia system such as MP3 plater, radio receiver etc.

Hardware architecture is designed as an distributed system with low-cost-and-energy nodes, build using ATMEL AVR microcontrollers and one RISC-based, powerful HMI (Human to Machine Interface) with 2 LCD (or similar) displays. All nodes are connected with CAN and LIN industrial networks.

Linux-powered EFIKA board would be this main-controller node.
