START HERE: blog explanation


Basic synopsis:

The DIY EE Projects blog will cover my personal build experiences of existing projects that I have found on the net, modified to suit my goals or dreamed up myself mostly the former.















Projects may include anything related to SBC's such as the Raspberry PI, Beaglebone Black, Arduino, or computing on linux platform, homemade automation, using electronics to aid hydroponic gardening, and maybe even some robotic stuff as well.

Since I am basically new to blogging but an old hand at engineering, we will start with as few projects that are in a current work in progress state.
Links to these will become available as I am able to complete posts.

  1. Truck PC to replace my aging F150's factory radio (only has FM/AM CD) with a Raspberry PI based mutimedia PC capable of navigation, OBDII data, FM radio, Internet connectivity (through some means not yet determined), physical push-button and/or data wheel interface, 3d printed bezel and hardware housing support, wiring detail to match the 12Vdc environment, SDR add-on ?, and anything else we can dream up:)
  2. Build a open source Thermostat for home automation based on the popular 'NEST' model. Projects already exist for this so it will most likely be a rehash of something found on the net, maybe we can incorporate it into something like openHab?
  3. Make a Raspberry Pi VPN router for Private Internet Access VPN. This could be used with HTPC's, Android devices, Firetv (looking into one of these :)). There are many existing examples for this project so should be an easy one.
  4. Fire TV Mod
POST UPDATE TBD
