As I've read lately, the PSP got a Flash Player on board. Maybe this is an option?

Quote from Leifde :

Please could I have the source code for the bluetooth thing, I think it'll be useful if I can get bluetooth working on my phone

Here we go:

LFSMon_Python.zip contains the python script listening to the outgauge packets. It searches any bluetooth device in range for the LFSMonitor java app and connects to it. For running this, you need to have python 2.5 installed (http://www.python.org/download/) and additionally the pybluez bluetooth library for python (http://org.csail.mit.edu/pybluez/download.html).

LFSMonitor_Java contains both the sources and compiled .jar file of the mobile phone outgauge app. Start this first, then the python script. Currently displays speed and gear as plain text.

Hi,

I think the best way is to hook up a cheap 7"-9" TFT as 2nd screen, and run an OutGauge-app on it. Costs about 100-150€ (those neat monitors crazy people build into their cars...). I've seen some with 800x600 or more, even 16:9 versions are available. If you spend some more, you get one with touchscreen...

I recently played around with my mobile, wrote a small java-app which connects to a small script running on my pc, sending outgauge data to the mobile via bluetooth. It generally works, but as my java skills are quite lame, I decided to give it up. Anyone interested in the sourcecode?

Currently I work on a configurable outgauge dashboard app. There is a set of gauges (ie. analog round gauge, 7-segment display, ...), which can be positioned on the screen, with configurable colors, background-images, etc. and then hooked up to some values provided by outgauge.
The configuration is stored in an xml-file:

.. You get the idea?

Quote from sk83k :

The hardest bits are getting the useful data out of the UDP packets, and then sending the servo position to the servo controller. Any ideas? Or are there any applications I can look at as examples?

I recently played around a bit with outgauge->python->bluetooth->mobile phone, I think the python part is pretty much what you can use to start with.

(See attachment... check out Example.py)

I also don't like python b/c it does not use braces, any language that does not use braces is just odd.

Hmmmmm, I could swear I've seen this kitchen before...

+1 for a ball!

Customisable size (pressure?!?) would be really cool, we also need different sizes of goals then.

Here is another one on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pU52Xs7ljM

Quote from Tweaker :

It is that claim that causes the trouble... making the original skin maker feel like their talent was stolen so the ripper can get all the fame and "Wow great skin buddy!" It's just silly... and that is the only reason why I hate the ripping, when they claim it as their own.

LFS is about racing. Try to impress others by your racing.

I know it was already said, if you don't want to share, do not upload. Or upload a low-spec version and send high-end to your buddies.

When talking about buddies, I got the idea that there could be a flag which you can set on your uploaded skin "allow download for my buddies only" or something like that. I think this also isn't that hard to implement.
