I have been working on my truck computer for more than a year, searching for functionalities that have already been developed by others, since I'm no programmer. I was ecstatic to find OAP, even though I'm an iphone user and do not have AA, it simplified several other things I have been trying to work out...such as a good GUI.
Functionalities I want:
TPMS - 12 wheels: 6 on the truck, 4 on the horse trailer, 1 truck spare, 1 trailer spare
Rearview cameras - 2 on the pickup, 1 on the trailer and a camera inside the trailer
Navigation
Hands-free phone
OBDII monitor and control
Internet connectivity
Google Assistant
Audio server - music, audio books, videos, video phone
What I have working so far:
1 rearview camera for the pickup
Navigation (Navit)
Hands-free phone
Music/video server (Kodi)
My setup is for my 2005 Dodge Ram 3500, based on a raspberrypi 4b running the latest Buster kernel and OAP 3.3.2 b2 (latest beta)
Soundcard: Audio Injector Zero
Camera: raspberrypi v1.3 (soon to be upgraded to an IR camera)
Mic: electret mic attached to the soundcard
GPS: Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout with SMA antenna
Powered USB hub: VisionTek 3.0
SDR: Nooelec.com (trying to adapt to function as a TPMS receiver)
Monitor: Raspberrypi Official 7" touchscreen
Bluetooth: Panda BT 4.0
OBDII: Autopi.io DIY version
I have a handful of raspberrypi zero ws that I am trying to configure to use Motioneye OS for the cameras in the horse trailer, which will transmit streaming images for the back and interior cameras to a rpi3B installed in the trailer, which will connect to the truckpi via wifi....hopefully. I have MotionEye working, but haven't started the configuration for the whole system. I would much rather use available composite camera (cheap and easy, already weatherproof), but so far haven't been able to get composite adapters to work reliably.
There are some TPMS developments in github, but they aren't far enough along to help me for my truckpi yet. I need to be able to monitor 12 tires for the system to be worth doing.
I am trying to figure out how to use composite video input for an additional backup camera on the pickup. I need one to see the bumper hitch and a separate camera to see the gooseneck hitch in the bed of the pickup. For some reason, composite video is difficult. The Chinese adapters are unreliable. I have located one board that I think will do the trick, but it's another $150. Might have to give it a try.
I bought one of the first versions of AutoPi produced (DIY version) and I still don't have it working. Once I get to spend some time with it I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. My truck needs to be re-flashed by the dealer first, though. A previous tuner has locked it up and the AutoPi won't connect.
I think I'm far enough along now that I am going to start working on a dash mount system that looks good on the dash and is functional. I'll post photos when I have something worth seeing.
