Hi guys!
I have found the microcontroller I am looking for.
http://www.electronics123.com/s.nl/i...=8&category=35
But I need more outputs.
I have decided to make the mediabox for the car first. That is, a 10.4" touchscreen in the centerconsole that will come out and move up so I can use some controlls at the bottom of the screen behind it and a built in slimline DVD drive on top of the screen.
The thing is that about 80% of the centerconsole will be used and there is a saab controlling unit for the car information (time, temp etc etc) and a controlling unit for the climate in th car.
Now, what I want to do is to make a box so I can put theese two controlling units inside, and a webcam that is directed to those controllers.
I will use the microcontroller (the one I linked to) and connect reelays to each and every button of the Controller 2 by soldering to the button connection, and the webcam will record everything that is happening on the screen of it. I will then make a software that analyzes the webcam image so I know what the temperature is set to, what the fan speed is set to and so on. This way I know whats going on with the ACC and then I can controll it from my own software.
This is the best thing I can come up with, since the ACC is needed (duhh) and I have no idea to of how to control it through OBD II.
1. Analyze ACC screen
2. Control ACC unit with MC and reelays
3. Control MC with PC
So my question is, does anyone know where I can buy a cheap MC with at least 14 outputs?
Or, how do I build my own?
Thank you
