Garminuino

This is a project use GarminHUD as speedometer HUD, or a GoogleMap navigation HUD.

2018-10-01 UPDATE!

All GoogleMaps_HUD app source code is uploaded!

2018-09-07 VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE!

A Vega-HUD feature enlightened me a directed way to get turn-by-turn infomation. I can get turn-by-turn from google map's notification(android)! It's a big change for Garminuino, because it's mean I don't need arduino anymore! So navigation part of Garminuino turn into a pure android's app(apk) now!

Hence the information below is not necessary anymore, but I still keep it for commemorative. The app's development is near the end, I need somebody help me to do close testing. If you are interesing for it, please mail me: [email protected] , with tile "Garminuino Test"

This is the inital concept of Garminuino, but the implment is slight difference to the concept. For example, Garmin Hud is not linked by BLE, so BLE moduble is needless.

This is block diagram for now implement.

Speedometer HUD

A OBD/CanBus parser by Arduino, and a speed info transmitter by bluetooth(to GarminHUD) .

GoogleMap navigation HUD (deprecated now!)

Besides parts of Speedometer HUD, a USB Host Shield with a Android mobile phone can fetch Google Navigation info, and transmit info by bluetooth to GarminHUD, too.

Prototype

This is Speedometer + Navigation HUD prototype, if android is not link with USB-HOST, it keep in Speedometer mode. If android linked, and google map is in navigation status, it turn to Navigation mode.

PCB Prototype

I create first PCB for Garminuino by fritzing, and order it from OSHPark, hope it can work as well as prototype above.
