Hey fellers,

Has anyone done or thought about raspberry pi for the carpc

I'm wanting to know if it's possible to use in a BF falcon with premo color icc

I've most of the stuff needed from previous projects such as

1 - Touch screen overlay + drivers

2 - 2 spare color icc units incase I damage 1 :)

3 - raspberry pi

4 - Centrafuze for windows but not android other OS's

I'm missing something to convert HDMI to what ever that falcon screen uses composite I think

- Dan

Hope it goes well mate. But with the advent of tablets abd smartphones - there maybe other alternatives now. We have used the Raspberry Pi at work - it's a gr3at device!

Excuse the epic thread revival (blame the search function)

I am currently in the process of setting up a pi in my BA. Did you end up getting it all running?

I have everything working except the touch overlay, but I suspect I have a faulty controller.

Spyathe, I have a pi setup in my car with a touch overlay that has been working.

What OS you running on the pi? and is it configured for touch screen inputs?

I am running the latest wheezy OS with XBMC and navit from a guy called Andrei Istodorescu, the touch screen support has all been setup in the kernel.

I am getting some input via touchscreen but only in the top left corner of the screen. XBMC (Kodi) has a calibration plugin but it doesn't seem to help

I'm praying more support comes through for running android on the pi, best of both worlds! It seems to have died off in the last year though unfortunately :/

They have ginger bread running on the pi but I think it stopped there? I tried it but it was laggy and very buggy. Light weight linux with the applications you want is going to work better in the long run
