Infotainment System for Porsche Car [from CAD, prototyping to finish]

[Nine8Six]

We should make friend, I share your exact same opinions! I'm a Rock Start man (part-time, at home, imaginary audience and all). Played rhythm and lead guitar on my custom mappleneck Jackson's for +30 years now... "tactile buttons"?! Hell... I express feeling-of-the-day throughout 20x of those buttons daily lolll If our hardware would be all replaced with digital trackbars I'd be the 1st to set this world on fire

Some of my knobs even ticks and feedback lolll (in the context of guitar knobs, pls)

But hey, it is what it is and I am getting a nice and fat slider for the master volume in my 986. Could Photoshop it and make it look like a "real/physical" studio style trackbar also, would that help mentally you think? loll

You are tad better looking than I am so I won't upload the jamming sessions we got on pics here... all very sweaty stuff anyway. Since its a Porsche/986 forum, here's one. Spot the 986!

and no, I don't keep a toy car in my guitar case lolll that'd be the beginning of the end

Quick Update:

Its Saturday!!! 10:57AM, third coffee and seeing rainbows already. Below is just a preview of the theme styles the prototype will have to live with for a few extra weeks. I'm at a stage where I have pretty much all code libraries and user controls squared out and nicely debugged. Proof of concept basically.

So until we settle all of the features that will eventually need plug-in, we'll toss away the User Graphical Interface(and freak coding) aside and start drafting the digital twin of the assembly in NX. We have so much to do; from ordering cabling & connectors to designing heat sinks and coming up with a proven thermally managed enclosure!

I'll update later this weekend on the hardware I've settle for external GPS, still trying to get this running at the minute - might get the 4th coffee lolll.

Until them, here goes some proper thread painting stuff



^ The package is set to this "Silver" by default. Got Hot Pink also and something like 128 other colors to chose from loll





and so on.... you get the idea. The only 2 DIN kit "In-The-World" that is designed with the option to set any RGB color. OEM Dash & Accessory lights match or money back

Last week, while in transit between a city to another, the guy sitting next to me in the train said; "it would be nice to have the option to set a personalized background to your app?". So to save us both from dying of boreness, we did this together right there on the laptop lolll

You can now upload a 1024*600 background.png/jpg to the system. Route 66 below (I think) is meant for dev only, I plan on replacing this with the picture of my wife of course, but also like the solid black background (personally). Anyway, the option is there if needed

I've also set the live spectrum to transparent. Bounce nicely to the beat without being distracting to the driver a-la-previous version. A bit light for some but still very visually pleasant imo
