🚗 CRZ onboard 📡 OBD2 live data 🕹 Daikoku arcade 🦞 Joe integration 🗺 Shutoko live

A fully custom in-car computer for the CRZ. Built in phases — hardware first, dashboard second, games third, Joe last. Every phase is usable on its own. By the end you have a voice-activated AI driving companion with a Blade Runner UI, retro games for Daikoku parking lot, and live Shutoko data — all running on a ¥8,000 computer.

📍 Build Phases

1
PHASE 01Hardware Setup + OBD2 ReadingWeek 1–2START HERE

Get all hardware assembled and confirm the Pi can read live data from your CRZ's engine via OBD2. This is the foundation everything else sits on. Once you see RPM numbers appear on a terminal screen, you've won phase 1.

PHASE 02Blade Runner Dashboard UIWeek 2–4BUILD

Build the fullscreen HTML/CSS/JS dashboard that runs in Chromium kiosk mode on the Pi. A Python script reads OBD2 data and pushes it to the browser via a local WebSocket server. Same tools, same skills as your other Kurashi pages.
