Smart Retro Vehicle

I aimed to transform my 007 roadster into a true James Bond vehicle, infusing it with futuristic functionalities modernizing this quarter-century-old sports car. Pioneering the initiative, I conceived and executed cutting-edge embedded systems, integrating features like fingerprint-based ignition, facial recognition media access, smart home synchronization, and proximity sensing capabilities. Upon achieving these objectives, I redirected my focus to tackling issues associated with smart home automation, revamping gadgets using the open-source Matter platform to harmonize my C-based code with the Apple HomeKit protocol. Utilizing esp32 chips and FPGAs for peripheral management, I independently funded and motivated an original car automation project. Leveraging the accessibility of development chips, I seamlessly integrated peripherals into development chips, effectively incorporating these standalone embedded systems into my 007 roadster. As a result, I now possess the ability to arm, operate, and oversee the vehicle using my fingerprint or via my smartphone through Siri protocol. This cost-effective yet dependable solution extends beyond personal transportation, offering enhanced security applications for homes, deposit boxes, and weapon security, among others.

Chip + Software: you can buy the chip with preloaded software, or DM for instructions on how to get started writing your own code.

1x Seeeduino

3x FPS

1x 4-Relay Module

1x DC-DC converter

Lever Wire Connectors + Wires and phone charger cables + Tape + Multimeter + Screwdrivers + hammer + wrenches

hand drawn circuit

Find the wires behind the door panel. They connect the door peripherals with the inside of the car

Cut WS/GN (white/green) signal wire & WS/SW (white/black) signal wire and connect them to the relays, then Tap into RT/GN (red/green) 12V wire- See hand drawn circuit above.

• connect the FPS [red-yellow-green-black] 4 wires to the Seeeduino to establish serial communication, and ignore the white and blue wires since they have redundant functions.
• Use the hammer to remove a pin in the door henge, this will allow the door to open wider than its nominal range.
• Now you can use the wrenches to unscrew the wires boot and thread a cable through as shown.
• Repeat this for the other door and the trunk.

ProTip: you can use a phone charger cable since it already has the 4 wires required for serial communication, and it's thin enough to be squeezed through boot of the cars door jamb.

coming soon... here's a teaser

Here I give the car WIFI&BLE capabilities to control it with Siri (Apple Homekit)
