Currently slowly working on a project to automate and add functionality to my car (70’s). Even if it doesn’t work out cheaper or easier than going the route of pre-made tech, I’m still keen to learn whats involved anyway and have a decent knowledge base on mechanics, fabrication, and tech. just not too much with programming.
My question is would this board be a better option than using a raspberry Pi in conjunction with a second hand laptop or laptop with broken screen etc or would it not be worth it? I want to end up with most engine parameters on a display, servos to control all the air vents, possibly control the fan speed too,ultrasonic parking sensors & reversing camera, be capable of running decent emulators (Pi 3 can barely handle N64) and have a nice smooth interface that has little to no lag and doesn’t bog down and glitch out on me.
The system will be mounted under the dashboard out of sight, with a touchscreen display centered on the top of the dashboard, and a keyboard/mouse on the passenger side hidden but accessible.
Thanks
