My gloves are K1 dual layer - will check them a bit later.

Yes, it does some different funky stuff with the stylus, but I'm
talking about just plain touching, it will start tracking your
finger at about 1.5-2.5mm height above the screen.? My point is,
it's a VERY sensitive capacitive touch screen so it should see
touches fine, even with gloves on.? Obviously I can't test that for
sure since I most likely don't own your brand of gloves.? Mine are
at my storage in the car anyway, so I can't try them, but I will as
soon as I get over there.

going minimalist - Habey super dinky Linux box and USB

Crystalfontz enclosed LCD+keypad - not because I want it
to stay this way but because I want to do a field trial of
the software.

My Samsung Galaxy Note II has a 5.5" touch
screen you don't even have to touch to use, and I
have an app that has a HUD mode for speed.? I just
throw it on the dash and it reads my speed off the
windshield.? HUD isn't really a technology, it's
just flipping the picture vertically and adjusting
the brightness of the reflection.?

Thanks
for the pointers. The ultimate goal would
be any controls are on the steering wheel
and the display is a HUD - but the latter
technology isn't quite there yet (lots of
interesting progress though).
I have had a bit of time to work further
on my toy - so it should be usable for the
next race in May. It will be for a test,
I'll still have my naviguesser/co-driver
do the usual stopwatch things :-)

Steven,
??? Touch
screens which can operate with
normal gloved
hands are becoming
available:

I have been
working on this project
for several years - a
tablet would work dandy,
but I don't do Java or
that weird C variant the
iPad does (and wouldn't
want to have to deal with
Apples $ and rules for an
app anyway). Android is
better - as you can bypass
the stores and do direct
loads/testing. I am
exploring that.
However this is a hobby
and the goal is what is
important to me - that
goal is having a tool
customized for Open Road
Racing (sscc.us shows what
that is about). So at
present the system that
works is:
Habey seriously dinky
(5x5x1.5 inches)
indrustrial fanless
computer running Debian.
picoLCD 2x20 LCD display
with 16 key 4x4 matrix
keypad (can be managed by
gloved fingers -
tablets/phones require
conductive touches - nomex
kills that idea real
quick).
Software in C which I have
been doing since C first
began so the coding is
easy :-)
Bluetooth connection to an
OBD-II elm327 device and
via USB to a 10 Hz/66
satellite GPS receiver.
When it is in a state I
feel comfy with I will
gladly post it to the
website if the moderator
is willing to host it :-)
Mid May is my deadline for
it to be ready to race...
as of this moment the GPS
and display (and all the
parsing and math involved)
work, the keypad does not
yet work and while I have
OBD-II libraries I have
not yet integrated them.

It
seems like a phone
wouldn't be the best
choice for an
automotive app
- too small a display
and too expensive. And
too much specialized
hardware that isn't
needed for automotive
display and control.
How about
a cheap tablet?
It would only need
single touch for most
things.
For anything you would
access while driving,
you'd want big
"buttons",
not controls requiring
precise aim.
What about a display
for arbitrary sensors
- multiple cheap
temperature
sensors, etc.?
Of course, being able
to also dock the phone
for hands-free
functions
could be worthwhile.
Regards
Jay
