I see there's been some great progress! Have ya'll seen CarbonSignal's digital gauges setup? The backend should be no different to what has been accomplished here so far except for the fancy UI for the gauges. Their setup sale price is $600+ (ya I know - ridiculus). We can accomplished something similar for a much lower cost. Consider a setup of:
-Raspberry Pi 2 1GB: $39
-Raspberry Pi 7'' Touch Display: $60 (
RASPBERRYPI-DISPLAY - RASPBERRY-PI Raspberry Pi 7" Touch Screen Display with 10 Finger Capacitive Touch | Newark element14)
-Bluetooth Dongle: $10
-OBDII ELM Bluetooth Scanner: $15
Estimated Total: $124
I had started a while back with a quick proof of concept using python and an open sourced OBD library. I needs to be refined, better UI and of course implementation of certain functionality (needs to be defined). I would do this by myself, but honestly, would never finish it since I am always working multiple projects at a time, but if there's more people involved in the coding I will most certainly be available to collaborate. Any ideas? Anyone interested?
**EDITED**
-If your headunit has video input, you won't need the touch screen, but will need some sort of wireless keyboard/touchpad.
-Any C# development/efforts could be ported and tested on the pi using the Mono framework.
