A followup the Carputer V1, this project was started with the intention of putting a more powerful device into my car. The idea of this was not about cost savings; but rather to have incredible flexibility for the device. While the current build of the device is really used for music and GPS navigation, other

The same team from the fingerprint activated door lock united again, this time for a class project. As part of the course: Principles of Engineering; we designed and built a fuel injection system for a small engine. Because the class centered around the use of Microchip PIC controllers, PICs were the primary ingredient used the
