DIY Mini-Dash LCD Gauges Update #2 - New Layout & Multiple Screens!

MotorvateDIY

Hey everyone!
I just wanted to share some of the progress on the Bluetooth and CAN bus gauges we are woking on...

We have updated the design/layout for a more modern look AND can now use a steering wheel button to change what the LCD display shows!

Now that we press a button on the steering wheel and change what is shown on the display, we can now show items like:

• Engine boost / intake manifold pressure
• All four tire pressures in real time. (many have asked for this!)
• Drive torque split between front and rear axle (G37X only)
• Intake air temperature
• Automatic transmission fluid temperature
• Engine Torque & Horsepower
• Lateral acceleration in g's
• Battery voltage
• and 50+ additional items... we just need to find space for them!!

With the ability to show multiple screens of data, we now need to use a "Real time operating system" (RTOS). This will allow us to multi-task and get the quickest responding gauges possible. Remember, we have data coming in via bluetooth, CAN bus and OBD and we need to crunch numbers, update the display and look for button presses to display the next page.

If all goes as expected, the next update should be VERY good
