The '''veeOP''' is the '''Raspberry Pi Vehicle Operating Platform'''.
 +
 +
It's an extensible open source hardware (and software) platform, that enables you to use your Raspberry Pi in your vehicle. It's core function is to allow you to smoothly power on, and off the Raspberry Pi by the state of your vehicle's ignition. This helps with headless (no display) implementations, and is also convenient for implementations with a display (or even a touch-screen). It has the capability to communicate a command to the Raspberry Pi to say "Hi, the ignition is off, please let the veeOP know when you'd like to power down". So that your implementation of a Raspberry Pi "carputer" can stay powered on when you need it to, and power it down when you don't -- say for example, if you're stopped at a gas station and need your ignition to be off, you don't have to reboot your Raspberry Pi
 +
 +
The veeOP is "application agnostic", that is, it gets you over the hurdle of the complexity of the power supply, and lets you get to the "good stuff" -- you know, like media center applications, GPS applications, or ''anything'' that you can imagine.
 +
 +
But! It doesn't end there. It's based on an Arduino-compatible microcontroller that you can reprogram. And it has a RESTful API that allows you to extend it's core functionality. This wiki will guide you through the steps that you need to take full control of your veeOP.

The veeOP is the Raspberry Pi Vehicle Operating Platform.

It's an extensible open source hardware (and software) platform, that enables you to use your Raspberry Pi in your vehicle. It's core function is to allow you to smoothly power on, and off the Raspberry Pi by the state of your vehicle's ignition. This helps with headless (no display) implementations, and is also convenient for implementations with a display (or even a touch-screen). It has the capability to communicate a command to the Raspberry Pi to say "Hi, the ignition is off, please let the veeOP know when you'd like to power down". So that your implementation of a Raspberry Pi "carputer" can stay powered on when you need it to, and power it down when you don't -- say for example, if you're stopped at a gas station and need your ignition to be off, you don't have to reboot your Raspberry Pi

The veeOP is "application agnostic", that is, it gets you over the hurdle of the complexity of the power supply, and lets you get to the "good stuff" -- you know, like media center applications, GPS applications, or anything that you can imagine.

But! It doesn't end there. It's based on an Arduino-compatible microcontroller that you can reprogram. And it has a RESTful API that allows you to extend it's core functionality. This wiki will guide you through the steps that you need to take full control of your veeOP.
