My goal with this one is to add power door locks and a push button start that works with @Chimpofm newest simple sexy.
So far the plan is to install door locks using the keyless remote link at the bottom, and a push button as a replacement for the key. I’m pretty sure some folks in the forum have already done this solely using the two products below but I really want a talking car, and I’d really like to be able to unlock the car and start it with the same “authentication mode” so I’m going with the simple sexy as the brains of the operation.
Quick napkin planning would be to house the reader in the driver side mirror.
If possible use the low power mode with a capacitive touch sensor to wake the reader. (potentially issues with rain, so I may just add a metal toggle switch)
I still need to do some figuring here with the “off” as the attempt is to bypass all the smarts in the start button kit but we’ll see maybe there’s an easier way.

If this one goes well, the motorcycle is next stay tuned
Alrighty. Still waiting on the hardware to come in, but here’s what I think is a good start with the new revision.
edit: (I moved the repo, I got tired of git fighting me with the upstream dependency. This has definitely morphed a bit beyond what I expected and doesn’t resemble the original at all anymore.)
I’ve got things wired and programmed. code in the same link as above.
I’ve decided to pivot a bit as I was planning on re-inventing the wheel and letting the esp do all the brains in regards to the ignition system. The more I dig in there the more that starts to scare me. Feels like edge case management is not really something I’d like to program and make a mistake that puts anyone in danger.
All that said, wiring this into the door for locks is still in the plans, and adding a capacitive touch sensor is on the list for low power mode.
something like a TTP223.
The car is currently in shambles so the next update may take a min.
maybe there’s an easier way.
stay tuned
