# pyCAR
### A Car In-Dash with pure Python3, qt5, Pulseaudio, ofono on Raspberry Pi.

![Splash-Screen](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iTommix/pyCAR/master/install/splash.png)

For a changelog [see Wiki](https://github.com/iTommix/pyCAR/wiki)

### My Hardware-Configuration:

- Raspberry Pi 3B+, Raspios buster
- Soundcard WM8960-Audio-HAT [1]
- Radio Tuner SI4703 (I2C-Controlled) [2]
- 2 x Amplifer MAX9744 (Rear/Front, I2C-Controlled) [3]
- 7" Touchscreen from Raspberry Pi Foundation [4]
- Bluetooth-Dongle in place of of Built-In BT
- GPS-Mouse u-blox 6 [5]

### Features:

- Navit Turn-By-Turn Navigation
- Bluetooth HFP and A2DP functionality
- Import of addressbooks from Cellphones
- Radio FM-Tuner with SI4703 or Web-Radio (Auto-Detect)
- MP3-Player based on mplayer in pure Python3
- Module-Based. You can develope your own Modules ([see: Wiki](https://github.com/iTommix/pyCAR/wiki/Module-creation))

No use of 3rd-Party like Kodi.

I disabled the internal Bluetooth from Raspberry, because it wont work properly.

### Install:

1. Write a fresh Raspios on a SD-Card (2020-05-27-raspios-buster-armhf.img or 2020-05-27-raspios-buster-lite-armhf.img)
3. Clone this repository to your RPi <code>git clone https://github.com/iTommix/pyCAR.git</code>. On a headless system you have to install git first: `sudo apt install git`
4. Change to the install folder <code>cd pyCAR/install</code>
5. Execute the Install script <code>./install.sh</code>
6. At first select 'Install Base-System'

You will be asked to set the locale and timezone.

The Scripts will uninstall not needed programs, update the System and install needed programs as well. You will need to reboot the RPi a couple of times.

After install the Base-System, you can choose an Audio-Option:

1. WM8960-Audio-HAT
2. Google Voice-Hat (experimental)
3. RPi's Built-In BCM2835 (nothing will be changed)

### Prepare USB-Stick for Data and Music
We will use a USB-Stick to store the Music and some Data to prevent excessive writing on the SD-Card. The structure should be:

![USB-Stick](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iTommix/pyCAR/master/install/screenshots/folders.png)

As you can see, the Stick is named pyCar and got the folders 'Music', 'navit', 'phone' and 'Radio'. The file stations.xml is only for Webradio. In the folder Music store your mp3-Files. Each album as a own folder. In the folder 'navit' will be the map (e.g. from OpenStreetMap) as .bin-File and an optional SpeedCam.txt ;-)

### Disclaimer
You can use this project as it is. pyCAR is still under development.
