Other Projects

Non-comprehensive list of projects without detailed information.

Confidential Projects

I have also designed and implemented some systems relates to encryption and digital communication that I cannot disclose the details on this page. What I can say is that they are used in the North American government.

Simulator

BMW E46

Computer System

E46 is one of the best cars to be hacked. It's not too old: it has a bus wire called I-BUS where most of the inter-component data transfer occurs. It's also not too new: the system is not too complicated. So I put together a computer system using MacBook Pro, modified Xenarc 700TSV touch screen, GPS, iPhones, TomTom, etc.

MacBook Pro talks to the car via I-BUS with my small program. As a result, I can read/record the real-time statistics like coolant temperature, light states, speed, rpm, etc., and even manipulate the electronics form the computer.

Relayed power system is implemented: the computer system awakes automatically when ACC is on; consumes no power, otherwise.

I installed a rear roller blind to prevent glares on the touch screen and rear screens.

Things the system can do right now:

Car Computer Running OS X Snow Leopard Night Vision Rear-View Cameras Roller Blind Modified Touch Screen
Texas Trip Record

Class Projects
