As a general rule geeks like to have access to as much data and statistics as possible. We pretty much figure this applies to a geek’s motor vehicle as well. So, to allow you to access extra information about your car we would like to introduce the ScanGauge II Automotive Computer. This gadget is easy to install and provides a set of digital gauges, a comprehensive trip computer, and an engine trouble code scan tool.
The digital gauges mode displays four different properties on the screen (for example, fuel economy, battery voltage, coolant temperature, and engine speed). The trip computer tracks your vehicle’s maximum speed, average speed, driving time, driving distance, trip fuel economy and several other pieces of trip data. The engine trouble code scan tool lets you read standard engine trouble codes as well as clear the “check engine” light and other warning lamps.
The ScanGauge II is simple to use and install and mounts in, on or below the dash. It plugs into the diagnostic OBD-II connector found under the dash on 1996 and newer cars and light trucks. The functions are accessed viaa simple on-screen menu interface. There is an automatic delayed power-down after engine shutoff and automatic power-up when engine is started. User and vehicle settings are automatically saved.

Obviously printed photos are so last-decade. Digital photo frames allow us to go directly from shooting to displaying our photos with no messy meatspace-based printed version needed. The eStarling 2.0 Wi-Fi Photo Frame takes this concept to the next level by connecting to your local Wi-Fi network and allowing you to send photos to it via e-mail or RSS photo feed.
One-Time Setup
To get things rolling you need to configure the eStarling Frame by connecting it to your PC via the included USB cable. Once configured, the frame can be disconnected from the PC and operates in a completely stand-alone mode. Use the eStarling software select the wireless network to connect to. The eStarling supports WEP or WPA encryption and has a full-featured TCP/IP setup supporting DHCP and Manual IP.
E-Mail Configuration
Once your eStarling is on the net, you get assigned a free dedicated e-mail adress to send photos to it. Optionally you can thwart possible spam by allowing only e-mails from a certain e-mail address to be received.
Flickr RSS Photo Feed Configuration
Simply do a search on Flickr for your favorite photos. Cut and paste the URL from the “RSS 2.0″ link at the bottom of the page into the eStarling web-based software. You can even do multiple feeds at once. Once a feed is set-up Flickr photos matching your search criteria go into rotation on the frame. As new photos are posted to Flickr, they show up on the frame.
Displaying Photos
Simply e-mail any JPEG photo to the eStarling frame. It polls for new e-mail every few minutes and puts any photos it receives into rotation on the frame in a slideshow format. The frame functions similarly when receiving photos via the Flickr photo feed. You can also delete or add photos directly via the web-based control panel at any time.
Product Features
- Connects to Wireless 802.11 b/g Network. WEP or WPA Encryption Supported.
- Direct Photo Emailing to Frame – Each frame has its own unique email address so that photos can be received from computers or mobile phones. A built-in email filter protects against unwanted photos. No setup is required for senders to send photos to the frame.

- Group Frames – Users can set up a single email address that corresponds to multiple frames so that photos can be easily shared and displayed on those frames.
