FridgeFreezer Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 LCDash - touch-screen dashboard for MegaSquirt & (in the future) OBD-II. This is very high up my want list now as it replaces quite a few gauges, and they are working on external gauges & speedo/odo functionality too.

Sorry Rog, really I am Waterproofing ideas, touch-screen is tricky but if you want "set it up and forget" then you can do a lot worse than a visit to Tesco's: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Surely it would be ideal for diesel users... you could recalibrate the screen to show the following info: How much fuel we're not using How deep the water is we can go through How little WD40 we ned to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 True Jim, but we could also add: How long we can drive before HAV makes our fingers go white and drop off. How far we can't see out the back because of the smog trail How loud you have to turn up the stereo before you can hear it..... I might own a diseasel, but my heart is still pure!!

The difference is we can go up a hill without using 100% throttle and battling to keep it on boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoSS Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'm actually building my own MS dash display. I will be a lot smaller & use a 128x64 green PLED display. 180deg view angle. I have the prototype hardware made & am currently writing the code. It wont be as user configurable as the digidash, but will display everything one needs over several selectable screens. as well has having some built in alarms & warnings. Its going to be built into my custom instrument console. Will post some pics. I could be induced to sell some of these if it becomes worthwhile.
