Guest TeamNissan Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'd rather use the Unix software on the iPhone (or the next gen iPod, same thing). That would be about as easy and more portable/practical/versatile. Also, the Mac Mini is nearly the exact size as a standard stereo head unit, and that has bean done numerous times. Plus that runs Windows natively so you could use MegaTune. Plus both of those will work consistantly (not a big PC fan). Apple is for lazy people lol.

Sven Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I wouldn't recommend trying to build an ECU that works like that. Most PC operating systems are not designed to run devices that need real-time control - Windows certainly isn't. The trouble with running a laptop based ECU is making sure your operating system won't try to distribute processing time in a way that might, for example, cause your ignition pulses to be delayed by a couple hundred miliseconds since it absolutely HAS to get your copy of Winamp open quickly. You can set priority for programs/processes in Windows to avoid that issue. Winamp itself also has this option built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Uber95 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I was considering using my mini-itx too, but an 8" touch screen is around $300... This is a link to something I've been looking for. They can be had for a deal, if you don't mind ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180082514546 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
