yeahh... especially the delay on tacho and lack of functioning speedo... really disappointing tbh, rather just have a pillar guages with colorful backlights lol
I agree. The digital tach in my Si is terrible. It only runs at like 30hz and is slightly behind where the revs actually are. And then you have the digital speedo on like every car these days that runs at like 1hz.
It's a Raspberry Pi driven thing, and to use the GPU properly is going to take a lot of expensive programmer time. New cars have nVidia graphics cards and large teams of programmers to make it happen. Give it a few years and the enthusiast solutions will catch up, but it will take some time.

Yeah it's really odd, almost looks like bluetooth lag or something, and I definitely know I've seen lossless digital dashes before. I know when I switched from a bluetooth OBD scanner with my phone to a cobb accessport the update lag went away so maybe it's something like that
Maybe, some kind of conflict between video frames per second value and refresh rate of the dash itself? Like flickering lights of modern car optics on video.
I guess it depends on the plane but yeah. Haha! Honestly, I like all of the gauges in my plane and love planes so I want my car to have a ton of gauges too.
Zach makes everything look easy: “At this point, all we have to do is mock up a connection between the flux capacitor and the positive side of the combustion reaction system. And then of course, if that doesn’t cause a catastrophic nuclear explosion, we just have to convert this AC cable to FM. Easy!”
Same. I have an OBD2 connected app on my phone that allows me to do the same things as this and has about the same update speed. It's really not useable as a standalone system I think. The digital dashes that the ecu manufacturers make such as haltech and ecumaster are way faster
Too much data on the screen at once, I assume this uses some sort of canbus similar to OBD2 which has a poll rate limit, example poll rate is 60 times a second. You add one extra variable, they can update 30 times a second. You add 20 like on the digital dash here and you are lucky if you can update 2 times a second. The software needs some prioritization of things that update often such as MPH and RPM then only update other things every few seconds
@@mwmm that's what i was thinking. if the bandwith is limited, I'd rather hav rpm update at ~20hz, speed at 5-10 and the rest can be every couple seconds or so.
@@sjorsangevare yeah and if you notice on most VW digital displays, the RPM responds perfectly. Seems like an oversight from the engineers. Really one big thing that is putting me off my next car, I love the active info display in other aspects but the Speedo part grinds my gears!

The only things with this mod that you might want to think about a little more is where you're getting your power from. it's tough to run wires under the dash and have them go where you want them, and because of that I often want to connect it to the first 12V bus I can find close by, but what it looks like you did is basically run your dash screen (which I imagine being somewhat power hungry) on the same fuse as one of your under the dash lights. The circuitry for the light is not designed to pull the same number of amps as your screen probably is. Now, as long as you didn't change the value of the fuse the worst thing that will happen is you might have problems with the fuse popping (which when you're driving down the road can be a big problem). If you did change the fuse however you've then created a fire hazard (you seem smart enough to not do this, so I'm assuming you didn't). Neither of these scenarios is a guaranteed problem though, so you might get away with it, but your viewers who want to try this on a different car might not.
Looks extremely laggy. These companies have no shame putting worst possible screens and hardware on these digital dashes and selling them for a few hundres dollars.
also I have little trust in software that is running on such device. how much testing did they do if they didn't even spend time on proper manufacturing ?
"And I just put a computer in the glove compartment, with the pedal to the floor, radar in the grill, tv in the middle of my steering wheel" Ludacris really was ahead of his time.
That’s one thing I will always prefer over newer tech, is the old school mechanical dash... put whatever new fancy display stuff you want, but KEEP a needle tach and speedometer somewhere on it to see... LOVE what DODGE has done with the dash in their newer challengers/chargers, PERFECT mix of retro and modern, looks amazing! #Keeptheneedles
It wouldn't be a problem if the dash itself was a bit smoother and more accurate. Right now it looks like those cheap ass multimedia head units. I'd personally rather keep my old dash in there and install more gauges. I love the look of gauges, and when they all do that start up motion at once.
@@astanisystems Yeah, thought kinda the same. With a tachometer that takes up so much screen space, the choppy frame rate makes it look kinda... meh. I think that it would be worth the effort of taking the analog dash and modifying it to have additional electronic gauges. Hard but still cool retrofit kinda thing
@@saucymcrib4047 it’s not the monitor that’s the issue, it’s the data interface. There’s only so much data you can throughput at once before you bottleneck your connections.
The one thing I love about Donut is that they have a massive following,one of the largest in automotive UA-cam and they are still doing normal stuff to normal cars..
would be cool to take off the backlight and such and mount the monitor alone onto the glass like a heads-up display, but I can imagine that would be way too distracting haha
Nice! I’d be unhappy with lagginess of it though. I actually made a digital display for my car from scratch, and it was challenging to get it to run smoothly with a fast response time. I have a video of it on my channel for anyone interested in a different take on it!

I'd find one of those Yamaha 5-valve 1000cc bike engines and make my Miata have no torque. Come to think of it, maybe would be better for a Aerial Atom sized ground up project rather than this. But it would still be cool.
maybe instead of a display... setup a monitoring routine that uses voice alerts to tell you of overshots... Like a Datsun 280ZX, instead of saying "Driver door open", it could say "Overtemp", "Critical Overtemp" "Low Oil Pressure", "Low Fuel", "Tire pressure low", "Water pressure low", etc, along with an acknowledge button to prevent it from repeating too often... Then a little Arduino line display to show the errors and that the system is normal. Maybe a "test button" to set the volume, etc. I can say that most active displays don't do well for night driving, and need a "red only" mode, where all the pixels shift to night mode. Or otherwise cover it in a thin red acetate film.

For a digital dash I would expect it to not be as laggy as it is. I still think it looks super sick it’s just the rpm lag that kinda brings it down
i dont like how the revs arent smooth - like it refreshes every half second. that would make me mismatch shifts

Do a series where you build a car from the ground up please!! It could be like Hi/Low where you have a super high quality car and a budget car.
That literally was high low
Like kit cars?
@@mAtT47739 I would guess more of a restoration style than a kit car
@@grahameverett2676 I’m not talking about cheap and expensive coil overs, I’m talking about engines, trannys, suspension conversions (like solid axle to independent) and big stuff like that
@@MitchieFerg good idea, but not sure if it is financially feasible for Donut. These builds won't come cheap and making it double could blow the budget out of proportion. I like the idea, but I'm not seeing it happen anytime soon imo.
zach :"so it pretty much looks like windows"
me as a computer nerd:"that's raspbian which is linux but ok"
I thought
the same. Also, judging by the I/O of the thing behind the screen itself it's Raspberry 4. It have more juice in it than displaying a graph
@@VeinX wait wha
Can we all appreciate the fact that because Cali isn't allowing their barbers to be open we now are graced with Zach's sick flow.
"Install it in a way that doesn't keep me up at night"
Masking tape.
yeah, it looks really good but it's sooo laggy. It looks to be updating information only 3 or 4 times a sec, and I would want at least 30 times or preferably 60 per sec.
This is by far the best project Miata series I've seen on UA-cam!! This really makes me want to lookin' into a new project car to work on!
"I am able to see everything that matters"
Cue the MPH that was not saying his speed
Lol I thought I was the only one that noticed
Zach: Here is some complicated process in this very complex manner.
Me: Hehehehe he said MeGa SqUiRt!
Can confirm, trips to the mall are super weird now
Who heard "I did a little Molly yesterday, it was weird" ? Zac, If it was weird, I've got a good guy.
i heard
He’s literally getting me through quarantine, I love Wednesdays now lol
Only another 2 years of quarantine to go
the way you advertise your merch and your sponsors is better than most youtube channels and i only say most because i haven't seen them all
Are we just gonna pretend Zach never said "I'm Zach and this is Snake Pit" in one of the older Money Pit episodes?
Has anyone else noticed Jobe has 3 arms in the thumbnail? Either that or he be packing🤣
I just looked at that rn lol
The end of the video is was the best part for me, good plug 💯
Word of the day "hopefully"
Used, often at the start of a sentence, to express what you would like to happen:
Hopefully it won't rain.
Hopefully this fricking guage cluster fits.
This feels like an ad for the megasquirt
good ride Zack
“Look at all the things that I know about my car! That’s how you know that I’m really a car guy.” Is so accurate 😂
The real thing im thinking about is how does zach have 3 hands in the thumnail
just realized after reading this comment and went to check it 😂
"should look good"
11:26: Yep. Blue stripes. Looks excellent, good job.
I kinda just realized that dash is just a 3d printed enclosure for a display and raspberry pi... that io is a little too familiar to me lol
yeah, and it's literally just running raspbian lmao
