Sleeping mode - CarPC Project

Hello,

I do not know which car are you working on but if you get a CAN tranceiver microchip you can combine it with regular microchip. Then you can control the board as you like. You can MCP series of microchips, for the programmable microchip you can have an attiny and install arduino software. You can burn the arduino bootloader simply by using usb to ttl card which is like 2usd in aliexpress.

These CAN transceivers they have on-board regulated voltage output. They wakes up immediately with the any can signal in the car, and provide regulated voltage. With that voltage you can easily drive your microchip and this microchip can manage the power.

It is going to be even cheaper, safer and simplier I think. Because in any case you should use a can receiver in your car pc.

Regards.

hi,
its VW GOLF 2004 (MK4), there isn't CANBUS there,
Either-way, Thanks a lot for your efforts.

I see, as far as I check on the internet you might have something similar can bus not bus but a network line which uses it.

Do you have illumination on your button light during the night and day?

yes i have.

Hello,

This has to be working through a network, It is similar to odb 2 standard. If you want to build fully functional head unit you should be able to decode this line and inject bytes as well.

Hi,

Well also I discovered that I can read battery voltage over ibus. Maybe you can do the same over your network, in this case no need to shutdown the board until the battery voltage downs on a defined level.

Regards,
Mehmet

hi Mehmet,
OBD and IBus are complicated solutions (At least for me), i found Voltage reader module (on IGN wire), very cheap and easy to use.

BTW, did you got your board already?

Hello,

If you use microcontroller like attiny something else I suggest you to use a optocoupler. ...

Hi firefan,
I see that you are using the board as a head unit. I was wondering if you are using android 4.4 as the OS. if so are you supporting bluetooth A2DP sink and HFP? if yes, did you have to manually enable A2DP sink and HFP on firefly's android image? thanks

I was setting up a neighborhood picnic last weekend, needing quick fun during breaks. So I searched for online spots with engaging options. I found https://chickenroad.ke offering smooth play. It has deposit matches, free spins, weekly reloads, and loyalty points for cashbacks or draws; made for Afghanistan with local payments, Afghan event promos, daily challenges for multipliers in Afghan zones, mobile-friendly. It livened up the day nicely.
