Nodalmighty Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) This is actually a lie, it began about 2 years ago but I got dropped by Leukaemia. However, My first mounting frame is in the post so I should be able to finally mount it in the cluster and create a demo. Still lots to do, mainly the finishing screen surround and a ton of software, but I'll install a pre production prototype in GlennK's car hooked up to the RS232 output of his Syvecs just to get the ball rolling (as the poor bloke has been very patient with the whole thing). It will display either multiple groups of 4 values or all 12 values with warning and peak settings also displayed. Menu's, cal/boost/traction control and various other unique display options and controls will be offered via the i-drive interface in the final product (as well as an autobox controller). A second screen replacing the RPM head will follow and I will then complete the set with a Fuel/Temp head replacement with dual screens. You will be able to assign any ecu parameter to any screen via the i-drive and I will include performance timers, 3 axis g-meter, knock spectrograph and road tuning graphing modes to assist final road mapping (AFR, Knock, etc v's RPM, boost, etc.) By this time It will be running the ARM, can bus processor board. ECU's supported will be Syvecs/Life/Pectel, Link G4, Emerald K6, AEM, MoTec and DTA (I'll add more as and when). Expected RRP : £200 for the processor box and speedo head display (add £50 if the Autobox controller is installed) and £100 for each additional screen (10% of which will go to Cure Leukaemia). I'll do an MR2 version and a stand alone version using the touch screen to keep it in one integral unit. Lyndon.

Robzki Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I don't understand what you just said but put me down for 1. 1: Robzki Sounds great. I love stuff like this, Good luck. Really looking forward to this and the paddle shift. You may even start to give the autobox a good name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodalmighty Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 In stock. Mike's done a fantastic job. Now on to Naomi at metal monkey for the final embellishments and then I'll post some pictures of it mounted in a dash cluster. I'll take some video and post it youtube too (if youtube can handle 1080p HD). Lyndon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodalmighty Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 As per the PM's last week, Lyndon, I'm in! I'll have to order another screen in for you (or I'll have to use the OLED on mine). I might make OLED an option but the screens are 4 times the price of a normal TFT (but only 3 times nicer ) Lyndon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Lyndon, Naive question but will these be able to take an analog input? I have a stock ecu but loads of sensor modules with analog outputs. Sorry if this is a stupid question Really looking forward to seeing this even if I have to buy a syvecs to use it Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesard Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 3. Caesar Am in too. Most definitely. Am creating my car pc at the moment, and wanted to do the speedo too, but this will save me so much time, and show more than I had earlier planned. You, sir are a genius (after me of course) .

Nodalmighty Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 It has 6 5v analogue standalone inputs (I can do one with 8 inputs) So pressure/temp and egt amps kits (which I also make are catered for ).

Lyndon. So with my 8+ plx sensor modules I could use this? If so I'm one happy bunny Do you have a timescale to have this in 'production'? and also how would this be controlled, would we need to get an i-drive controller?

Sorry for the questions You can indeed as long as the sensors are all 5v (although I can make it capture any voltage with extra circuitry). You don't need the i-drive if you are having a bespoke single screen (8 parameters on one screen) display version just for you. I will need to add a speed and rpm signal capture circuits to your version (easy as the interrupts used for the i-drive can be used for these instead). I'll need a few quid up front as a deposit so I can order all the bits in. Lyndon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 This is the first ever demo for GlennK taken on my phone (hence naff quality at beginning) but it gives you an idea of the basic display. Lyndon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Lyndon! Make it so you can send the analog inputs over Can and we could sell you units as an I/0 expander aswell Keep up good work and really pleased you are feeling better.

Nodalmighty Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Loving that. Will that mount in place of the stock Speedo/Odo? Yep. I'll be doing one to replace the tacho and fuel/temp next too. Face lift owners may have to down grade to pre clocks if they want to replace the temp/fuel/boost facia. Each tft can support up to 4gb of logging. T Lyndon.
