[FS] Dual touchscreen setup for CarPC

Post by reegler »

Hey Everyone,

I have a dual screen setup for the MX-3. I sold my MX3 back in January and didn't sell the screens with the car.

The top screen is built into upper vents/AC switch. It's a MIMO UM-720 USB computer screen. I added a touchscreen plate to it. I rewired the power switch and brightness switches so you can control them through other buttons.

The bottom screen is a Lilliput Eby-701 VGA touchscreen monitor.

These need to be hooked up to either a Car Computer or Laptop! I can help you with that stuff if you need.

I'm posting them here before I put them on eBay. Shoot me an offer and we'll go from there!

Thanks,

Tim

I'm interested in the bottom one, and housing, but I have no idea what it's worth.

I would REALLY like to keep them together because they just go so well together. Both screens were about $200 each (not including labor and materials to fiberglass the screens) but I'm not looking to make money off them. I'll take both for $300 + shipping.

Forgot to mention that the bottom screen has a DVD RW slot load drive built in.

I saw that. Nice work. I can't afford both of them, so let me know if you decide to seperate them. If I could afford to, I'd buy them both, and eventually sell the other one. Do you happen to know how much it would cost for a simple CarPC that could run MegaSquirt?

Not sure what the hardware requirements of MegaSquirt is. I'm assuming it needs either a serial port or USB. Typically a Mini-ITX mobo will do the job fine, if you want something smaller you can go with a nano-ITX board or even Pico-ITX but the smaller the more $$$. A lot of people just use a netbook for CarPC's.

You can look at my new carPC for my current PC if that helps: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/worklog ... build.html

I would really like to keep them together but I might do it if no one else is interested.

Thanks

That's good work, again!
I know Jack Bupkis about computers. All I know is that it needs to be able to run Windows 95, or better. I'm sure that the faster it proceses, the better. I was thinking about keeping the laptop under the seat, and running the wires under the carpet to a screen, unless I can afford a CarPC.

Hey everyone,

The screens are just collecting dust so I want to give them to someone who can use them. First $200 + shipping offer takes them. I paid well over $400 for supplies and screens not including the hours of labor involved in fiberglassing them.

PM me with any questions

Really nice work on the 3. However your last post on there was in April- update it. I want to see it in all its glory.

The CarPC in the 3 is taking a break. I decided I need to simplify it a bit. I was getting too many ideas about automation with the Fusion Brain and all of its possibilities. I also want to wait until I get every kink worked out before I install it for good.
