Arduino/Microcontroller Projects

Starting a thread to document some interfacing projects with the Arduino and similar devices to enhance the Porsche experience.

Perhaps even make the car a more awesome driving machine.

Here are some project Ideas that should spring up here soon:
(I'll edit these to include a wish list of Funtionality)

1) Super Data Logger
a) Logs GPS data such as position, speed, course, distance etc
Ref: ultimate-gps-obd-data-logger-displayer
b) Logs OBD data from the car such as RPM, Speed, Coolant temp, Oil Temp, Ignition advance, Engine Load, HP, etc
Ref: OBDuino32K
c) Logs Accelerometer readings, G-forces, turn rates, vibrations etc
d) Video feed so we can see what is going on visually at the same time.
Ref: Video: Record suspension in action
e) Monitors engine CAM Deviation via OBD data and alerts on out of spec condition (Detect IMS Issues) (Needs LCD Readout for real time Warnings and Info Messages)
f) Software Utility to integrate all the logged data for display as a KML so you can review everything that is going on along your drive in Google Map.
Ref: Stealership Joy Rides

2) One Touch top controller
- Puts top up or down with one press instead of having to hold it.
Ref: RoboTop $79 and SmartTop $299
No point in reinventing the wheel unless we can create some additional value/functionality
