Team Wombat consists of Victor Li, Ryan Crane, and Nick Wong.
We are working on an infotainment system with black box functionality built upon Nvidia's Jetson TX2.
Our project is titled Axolotl for simplification.
I'm mainly responsible for implementing the media system on the Axolotl, in addition to a few supplementary goals.
So far the media system looks something like the screenshot on the left.
I'll post updates on the responsibilities that I have on this project as the term progresses.
The user will be able to play music of many different formats. This is accomplished by installing a media player which will then be placed inside the main interface. It was decided that VLC media player would be the player that would be used.
The Axolotl will allow the wireless connection of supplemental turn signals. These turn signals will be strips of LEDs, and will be plugged into and controlled by a Raspberry Pi and its GPIO pins. Whenever the uses decides to signal an oncoming turn, the Jetson TX2 will send a signal to the RaspberryPi through a bluetooth connection, which will cause the corresponding strip of LEDs to signal appropriately.
The Axolotl will allow the user to connect a device through bluetooth and play audio through speakers connected to the Jetson. The Jetson will use pulseaudio to set the audio, and output devices.
The Axolotl will allow the user to connect a device to the Jetson and play audio over an Auxiliary cable.
The Jetson will allow the user to connect to a personal computer over a TCP/IP connection, and download media to the internal storage space for later play.
The Axolotl has the capability to receive FM radio signals. This is achieved through the use of an FM radio plugged in through USB.
