Android Tablet Car Stereo Replacement

Seeing the ridiculous price of high-end car stereo entertainment and navigation, I decided to build my own. I used a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" tablet, a small Amp (to power the car speakers), equalizer (stabilize and boost levels and to route low-end frequencies to the sub-woofer Amp), USB power converters, various wires and other components and custom plastic fabrication (cutting plastic with an old soldering iron). Later on I added a steering wheel control to keyboard adapter that worked very well with Android.

INL Virtual Tour iPad / Android Application

North Wind was contracted to develop an iOS application describing the details of the Idaho National Laboratory. This app presents a virtual tour to prospective researchers, politicians, and others. This is a very visible part of INL's marketing strategy. I assisted in the development of the iPad app and ported the app to Android and small screen devices. I also continue to maintain the web version on North Wind servers.
