Also after a while it may begin to seem cumbersome having to carry the lappy and attach/reattach connectors everytime you park the car for a longer duration.
Good luck in your endeavour  |
Thank You for your sugestion. Yeh I know Heat is a major factor in India, specially in cities like Delhi, Hyderabad etc. I have a plan to overcome the heat too while the Vehicle is in Move. But when it is parked in noon, we can't help it out. This is another factor I have choosen the Laptop with Port replicator. All the time I need not to connect all the cables. Just place it in the Dock and start the ingantion. All the wiring will be fixed permanently. To auto power the laptop I am planning to use the "Wake-On-LAN" feature of the laptop. I will build a circuit by playing with the "Loop Back" concept and placing two Relays. Once the relays will get the power from the Ignation, it will simulate the loopback signal and is sufficient to power-on the laptop. I will post The detailed diagram with the pictures of this clever small unit later on. First I want to do a PoC then will share in this post.
Thank You all for encouraging to do my project.
