Ignition based on/off for touch screen in vehicle
I am installing a touch screen into a vehicle and want to be able to have it power on and off with the vehicle. The environment/hurdles are as follows:
- It's in the back seat, so the driver can not just shut it down easily
- I know I can have it turn on when power is restored, but don't want to do a 'hard reboot' every time the vehicle is turned off
- Constant power and ignition power are available
- Available inputs for the trigger:
- Serial port (RJ45)
- LAN
- USB
- Cash Drawer
The unit is normall used as a Point Of Sale terminal (hense the cash drawer, in case any one was wondering) and is running POS Ready Windows 7 Embedded (Standard)
Any ideas/help is most appreciated!
If you need any more details, please let me know - thanks.
