    As you surely can see, this is still very much a work in progress. None the less, if supplied with permanent power from an outlet, it could be used as is. Running from batteries won't last long at the moment.

    Possible power usage improvements include:

    • Reducing duty cycle
    • Wake only when car approaching
    • Use switching mode regulator instead of linear regulator
    Other improvements would be a custom PBC and a custom casing.
