It's a Logitech 3D-Connexion space navigator:v6powered wrote:what is that little thing that glows so blue?
You have any more pics of your CarPC?nightfire wrote:I just removed the steel base and mounted it on the dash. I wrote the carputer software so over a weekend hacked in support for the thing. Basically left/right controls track selection and fastforward/rewind, up/down navigates through albums, playlists, etc. Turning it controls the volume, pressing it mutes or selects, and the buttons control music selection, GPS, etc.
Kinda like the BMW iDrive.
It is, but it does look very natural (almost stock) in the vent like I've got it. I'm very happy with it there.marcdh wrote:very nice! Good to see another CarPC mx3 too. I'm still undecided on a knob! The 3dconnexion is quite a beast.

Edit; I heard CF hoods don't hurt as much when they land on your head.![]()

Navigator works like mouse or you can configure and bind commands?
My setup (archlinux):
I got the cheap ebay special.onlytrueromeo wrote:What screen did you go with? Nice to see the 3d controller...I still haven't decided if I want to use one of those, or just use a touchscreen and get the fusion brain from mp3car and rig up buttons on the bezel and steering wheel (assuming I can modify an RX8 or Mazda6 steering wheel)
Any more pics of you setup? I'm interested to see how you molded it. I want to put an 8" in, I'm still stuck as to which one to buy because I don't want to be hindered too much by sunlight, but dont want to pay ridic. money for a transflective one!
Ya a bigger screen would be nice. Probably the next one I buy will be more like 1400x900, 9".onlytrueromeo wrote:I definitely like it. I hear ya on seeing imperfections, I wish I was perfect when I installed things!
The only thing different I would do about your setup would be get a bigger screen and remove the surround. You would have to relocate the buttons, but I plan on doing that anyway. Good tip on tinted windows and angling the screen up! I will hafta do that if I ever get my carputer off the ground. My goal is 1.3k w/ megasquirt and a wideband included.
