Anyone want to go shares on a Centrafuse CarPC License?

[mattross1313]

Long shot, but worth an ask.

 

I am midway through building a car PC and might have to get a legit copy of Centrafuse to combat some issues. Is anyone else out there building a Car PC or will be soon?

Do you fancy going shares on a license? A full legit copy comes with 2(or maybe 3) activation's so we could each save a few quid and get one between us.

What exactly is it Matt? Why do you need a license?

[mattross1313]

It's a program that runs on a small PC that allows you to control media etc. I am building a CarPC ATM which will run my music, videos, sat nav, ODBII monitoring, wifi etc etc. Centrafuse is a nice touch screen friendly front end to control everything.

I have a cracked copy from ages ago but struggling to install plugings. It's around £45 and can run 2 computers with it.

Do you have to buy a touch screen then?

 

Presumably this software runs off windows and then just launches a GUI that you can interact with, and has all the different modules/hardware/software running on the pc?

 

I guess you need Bluetooth and so on so that you can interact with your phone, and install a GPS receiver on the pc too?

 

Seems interesting, although not much help to you now I'd be keen to see your progress on this kit when you make a start on it,

[mattross1313]

Correct - it is just a front end GUI for a pc, pretty much used for in-car.

You dont have to use a touchscreen, but if its in a car when you are driving a mouse/keyboard would be hard work hehe.

I have bought the bare bone components - ram, motherboard, harddrive, power etc. i will mount it all in the glove box - along the USB gps receiver, obd2 plugin and other connections for music etc.

Very cool, I look forward to seeing it in action/built/progress. I love this sort of thing!

[mattross1313]

Not much updated yet but keep an eye on my project thread. Components and screen in cubby pics already up

[Ewan27]

Can I ask where you live Matt? If you're local I'd like to see what you're doing and help out in any way I can. I'm near the border, close to Carlisle / Dumfries

[mattross1313]

Sadly I'm down in the south coast near Bournemouth - couldn't really get much further away haha

 

I'll try and update my project thread a little more with this build. Link in my sig

Fingers crossed all works for me over the weekend I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to all this.
