| Customised In-Dash LCD | |
| Short description: |
Re-engineered In-Dash LCD screen for a Mazda RX8. A Xenarc 7" touchscreen TFT LCD display was installed in place of the previous low-res screen through extensive hacking and PCB modification. Unfortunately the previous LCD module contained the circuitry for infra-red control, as well as open/close/tilt functions. As a result, the ENTIRE CONTROLLER MODULE was re-created from scratch! All previous functions were preserved, and new features added. Videos available on the project page |

| Multiplexer remote keypanel | |
| Short description: |
Remote (wireless) keypanel for an AV-TECH AV-714 4-channel composite multiplexer. Unfortunately I was unable to get ahold of the user-manual for the device's RS232 port, as a result new, logic was implemented from the ground up. Remote keypresses are serialised by a 16F628A microcontroller and beamed to the receiving unit via an nrf401 RF transceiver (433MHz ISM, FSK). The signal is then converted back to a keypress via a pair of CMOS bilateral switches physically attached to the keypanel. Video transmission is provided by an cheap and nasty CMOS wireless camera purchased from Ebay. The Transmitting portion was stripped, and attached to the composite output of the multiplexer (works well, and is cheap!) |

| Short description: |
*** EXPERIMENTAL *** hacking / reverse engineering of an old Jerrold cable receiver (used by Optus) - My code was never released to the public. It was modelled after the ALI / HEXGEN4 code, with the added ability to selectively block and unblock channels using the unused A/B button on the remote. As with similar modifications, a low-end picmicro (12C509A) was used as a proxy between the demodulator and MPEG2 decoder. Communications is in manchester-encoded-serial. The encryption pair used to selectively lock and unlock channels is weak enough to bruteforce in under an hour, however the mechanism used here is to allow "friendly" packets to pass the microcontoller, and reject "bad" packets used to lock out channels. Lock/Unlock functionality was added by attaching the IR receiver module's DATA pin to an unused pin on the 12C509. Unfortunately keeping track of the channels being watched was a nightmare, so only channels manually entered on the keypad had the ability to be locked / unlocked. (Ie: the microcontroller kept track of the channel being watched by storing the last manually entered channel number in RAM) |
