Last change 14-02-2024
The main objective of this project is to study the advantages of using open solutions an compare it with conventional hardware electronics solutions. In particular in regards to serviceability, maintenance and repairability and also important, in regards to personal ownership safety. While driving and while parked (thieves).
to be refined as progress advances
The first milestone to achieve for this open hardware electronics project is to design and prototype automotive solutions classified as SAE Level 1. This is the lowest level of automation. The vehicle features a single automated system for driver assistance, such as steering or accelerating (cruise control). Adaptive cruise control, where the vehicle can be kept at a safe distance behind the next car, qualifies as Level 1 because the human driver monitors the other aspects of driving such as steering and braking.
1st sub-milestone
The first sub-milestone has the main objective to do a direct replacement of all proprietary hardware electronics and replace them with open hardware solutions. I'll be focusing on making solutions simple and easy to install and repair. It will include real-time remote diagnostics and repair planning assistance with detailed analysis of critical fault codes, and suggest a nearby shop for a possible repair.
2nd sub-milestone
The Volvo S60 from 2001 and 2009 has the correct center console for a full LCD touch panel capable of running and managing the car in all similar to a Tesla EV. In the second sub-milestone I'll be replacing the factory Air Quality control unit and also the Car Audio in the center console by a custom made LCD screen, in particular:
- Add an LCD screen to the center console to match the dimensions of the console capable of running Android Auto with software customizations
3rd sub-milestone
In the third sub-milestone I'll be replacing the factory instrument cluster dashboard unit and replace it with a custom made LCD screen for some cool 3D graphics rending , in particular:
- add an LCD screen to the instrument cluster running some cool 3D graphics rendering
- make it compatible for autonomous driving modules
to be updated later
In the 2nd milestone I'll be adding Autonomous driving capabilities ...
- Advanced Driver Assistant System (ADAS)
- Obstacle detection and automatic breaking
- Autonomous Driving
Any comments and suggestions for improvements on the current release of the KiCad project files are greatly appreciated and welcoming. If you like this project and want faster development, prototyping and testing consider a donation or sponsoring the project.
Alternatively, one can donate all wiring, all electronics including door locks, instruments cluster, climate control, radio , mirrors, ... etc..., relay boxes and fuse boxes as well as all sensors a Volvo P2 has to help and speed up design of new open hardware electronics, prototype and testing. Send me an email to [email protected] to know more. Include in the subject "open electronics for Volvo p2".
Thank you ð.
ðĒ Fully tested and working
A green circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was fully tested, each of its functionalities and capabilities. And it can be installed in a vehicle. Keep in mind this does not mean errors won't happen. As in everything related to electronics and software, there are revisions and updates. This open hardware is no different.
ðŊ Fully tested & working, no improvements necessary - already being sold online
ð Fully Open hardware \ source code
ðĪŠ There's better than this. don't use it
ð Fully closed hardware \ source code
âĄïļ fully tested and working, however, it is a dangerous solution to deploy
ðĄ Not tested. Working capability is unknown, it may work or not.
A yellow circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was not fully tested, each of its functionalities and capabilities. This does not mean it not working, it simply means testing is needed before giving a green circle of approval.
ðī Fully tested but not working.
A red circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was fully tested, and found some kind of critical error or fault. This means the electronics or firmware code cannot be used in a vehicle.
â Not started.
The hourglass means the hardware electronics or the programming hasn't started. Most likely because is waiting for the necessary test components needed for reverse engineering and also engineering of the new open solution.
