MacGolf
« on: 22 January 2006, 01:19 »
I'm currently working on what I am able to for my golf.
So I thought that I would start on the in car interface for my mac mini that would be housed in a mk4 dash.
I have found a work in progress interface on mp3car, but I'm not a fan of its looks. The program is called CCarProject, and as it is coded in Applescript, I'm going to see if I can finish it off for my selfish purposes.
It seems the original coder quit a few months ago  :cry:

At the moment, the only function that works is music, and i have changed about 4 images - but this is how it looks so far:

Main Menu


Album/Track selection


Now Playing


So any input into how it should look/function would be helpful, thanks

I know nothing about mac's but i am currently doing the same with a pc and software called road runner with the help of Allison from this forum. In my opinion yours is too cluttered. Simple is the best way. Is yours touch screen controlled? Here is a few pics of mine

I'm starting to think a PC might be better, seeing as carpcs are pretty niche to begin, I'm just making it more difficult for myself by using a mac for it....
I also need it to do the GPS stuff, but I would rather a tidgy form factor.
Guess I'll be looking into it a bit more. Nowt's ever simple!! Means I have to get a whole load of components tho...
Allison, I might need to get a look at your version of roadrunner....VW specific.... :drool:

As for hardware, there are some dam small boards available these days. Im going for this board.
