Got one myself. I put raspbmc on it and use it as the heart of a media system in the car. Also working on using to pull realtime info from the ecu something similar to the centrafuse system on iOS and android.... and put it all up on a 7" touch screen.

I read that Bob, and all I heard in my head was the voice of Charlie browns schoolteacher.

I know the feeling gwh... I just need something at the moment to focus on. So to build my project I am going to have to learn a few new skills.

On a side note. I now how you felt using your iPhone for the internet last time your were working up north. Stupid tablet has gibberish as it default language.

Anyway them Raspberry Pi are great little gadgets.

I'll root out links when I get home but I have a few buts about diagnostics book marked... I'll throw up some more links... Are you going to use it on the truck. As all my links refer to obd2 system.

Got my boy one for Christmas - not sure what he's done yet, but he's pretty clued up on IT stuff, as most 18 year olds are these days!

@apache

Out of everyone I know on here, i was rather hoping YOU had done some clever stuff with one, that I could take up as ideas!

I'm waiting for my lad to get clued up, then I fancy building an RC plane autopilot
