  • I am pleased to report some excellent progress on the Bluetooth and CAN bus mini-dash LCD gauges!
    FIRST: We have updated the gauge design more a more clean an modern look AND have added colour bars to indicate what is cold, warm or hot... AND a red line on the oil pressure gauge if the oil pressure is too low.
    SECOND: As result of reverse engineering the 370z/G37 CAN bus, we can now use the cruise control on/off button to CHANGE PAGES/SCREENS ON THE LCD DISPLAY!!! So... we now can offer multiple pages/screens of data without taking you hands off the steering wheel!
    The first page shows engine coolant temperature (ECT), engine oil temperature (EOT), air/fuel ratio for bank 1 (AFR B1), and engine oil pressure (EOP)
    The second page shows air/fuel ratios for bank 1 AND bank 2, engine coolant temperature (ECT) and engine oil temperature (EOT).
    Third page show the wheel speed for each wheel.
    Additional pages will show:
    • 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!!
    AND we are still receiving fuel pressure, engine oil pressure, manual transmission oil temperature and differential oil temperature from our wireless "Bluetooth Sensor Server" that is under the hood... No need to try to figure out how to get wires/cables from the engine to the interior WITHOUT a water leak.
    Being able to change pages was something we had hoped we could do. AND now that we can, BUT now we need to go back and optimize our code... We now have so much data to display, which is a GREAT problem to have :)
    We hope to have the next update in a few weeks... 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.
    I can't wait to show the next update to you!
