My shop project

[CorsePerVita]

As it stands right now I have a basic garage. Lots of tools and such, well organized, but it is lacking the tech that I need to thoroughly enjoy things.

My idea... to install a server machine in my garage that can interface with the various vehicles I have and potentially control my projects and stereo system as well.

Components:

- Old, slow betsy, my linux machine.
- Stereo receiver
- Lots of shop speakers
- Various serial cables and adapters, these will be used to interface with my track car for my megasquirt setup so I can tune at my work bench on a dedicated area rather than on my laptop. I can use a laptop as well for mobility but having one in the shop will be fantastic.
- Solar panels and batteries used for alternate mini projects as alternate power (green, yay. But don't be fooled, I'm not a hippie).

I'll begin this weekend as I have had various plans and simply never set it into motion. I find when I post up a worklog I am far more apt to make progress XD

Sounds neat. Another sweet thing to add in would be voice activation. :D

Don't be ashamed, hippies are welcome here too. ;)

Lol i don't know if voice activation would really be necessary for anything, well, maybe for music! I essentially want to add a station that i can interact with things in my garage and add my tech feel to it.
