Hello World

Welcome to Stop Start Projects.

Why the name?  Well it’s because I have a tendency to stop and start projects.  Too be honest this may eventually stop also.


So whats the point of this.  
Well I have always been a fan of sharing information and if anyone has some inspiration from what I do and improves it then that can only be a good thing.  After all as already mentioned there is a chance that the project may stop anyway.

OK so whats the latest idea then?
It may be cheaper to purchase a purpose built system but I am looking to use a Raspberry Pi as a dash cam.  Why? because its cool.

I am not a coder by any means and its been a while since I did any type of linux administration so this may take a while.  I have a cheap and nasty dash cam at the moment and by cheap and nasty I truly mean this.  So the idea is to re-purpose a Pi that's just sitting around and turn it into something different.

For the project I will be using a:
  • B+
  • Pi Cam v1.3
  • USB GPS
  • 16gb USB Drive

The camera and GPS is currently on order and I am hoping that they will turn up tomorrow so that I can start building.
