P.S. I know the machining is crap, it’s a quick and dirty prototype made in my garage on a mini milling machine…

Hi everyone, It’s been a while - I’ve been busy with work for the past year or so, but here and there I could make progress on this project. Actually, quite a lot since I received and have tested the onboard computer! I sources a micro computer that costs less than $100 and fits in a 3.4x3.5...

My engineering perspective has been to not use existing systems as constraints, so I will purposely not look at the BFT system as cool as it is ;-) I think the best is to use a pair of HDMI and USB ports on the main controller to let installers decide what touch display they want and focus more...

When I think about it, it will look more like a blue force tracking system, in summary. Much simpler but similar. Thanks for bringing this up! It won't reuse anything of the BFT but I'm thinking of enabling a few buttons on the frame around the display that can be used by the controller itself...

I now receive and can process GPS coordinates. It's over USB so the installer will be free to install it anywhere. I have recycled the GPS antenna that was on my Badger - great thing is that it's literally an enclosure that opens from the top in which I could fit the new receiver. On the...

Quick update on this project. I have finalized the sourcing of the controller that offers a few analog and digital outputs and inputs. I wanted a tough compact system, not a PLC that's bulky and super expensive. we happen to build an IP68 controller powered by an Intel processor and capable of...

Thanks. one requirement that became really clear is that since it will be a hobby system, most users will want to be able to manage it, hack into it, add applications etc. so it should run Windows 11 - as much as I prefer Linux by far for embedded apps, but very few people know how to use it...

Hi folks, I'm still really new to humvee world as an owner however I've been thinking about this project for a while: placing a large industrial touch monitor (HMI) above the dog house and connect it to the vitals of the vehicle through an industrial controller (because they already run...
