My current project is like gregulator's lcd screen installation, except i made mine a touch screen. The lcd screen is hooked up to my laptop (under the seat), and i programmed my own mp3 storage/ player program to run on it. I simply press the "down arrow" for song title and a list of all my songs pops down; i press the song twice and it plays the song..... Volume is adjusted by 2 buttons on the program....Just thought id post.... what do u think?

It replaces my cd player and all the songs are stored as mp3's on my laptop. I simply use the program i made on the touch screen to control the volume and select the song i want to play!

 

Great job! Any pics?

 

not yet because it is not all the way completed, but soon!

 

Where did you get your touch LCD? and how much was it?

Thanks,
Erik

 

is there a way to make a playlist? That's a really cool idea though, congrats

 

i ordered the touch screen from ebay, which i got lucky on....Yes i made the playlist, i know visual basic and c++ so i programmed it. Touch screen was about 350$

 

tight you should hook up a mobile dvd player to it..unless you have on in your laptop

 

yes i have dvd on my laptop!

 

sweet, there ya go. you could even do like a plugin to be like a screensaver on the touch screen u know?

 

yep, already done, its got games on it too! Its basically windows 98 comp in my car, its pretty phat.... The screen saver right now is just a phat car maxima spinnigna round....Lates

 

awesome. Is c++ hard to learn? also, how much space is on your laptop for mp3's

 

Ever considered selling the playlist program?

 

i got 55 gigs now, the playlist aint that hard to make... c++ is hard tho...dont know about selling it

 

I work for AMX. And our main product is touch panel control systems. Who made the one you got on Ebay? If its ours, I might be able to help you with programming. I am doing the same thing with my max. My particular panel has video input also.

 

i am looking for a nice touchscreen that i can put in my car and attach to my computer... and if it has a regular video in on it too that would be awesome but its not a necesity... how big is the screen?
where did you mount it?
do you know where i can find another one of these?
lemme know please
thanks

It is 5.5 inches diagonal. We are developing a 6 inch now.

 

ok how much is it?
are there any pics of it?
how much is the 6" gonna be?
is this screen in the raw or does it come in some casing?
