2 1/16 gauge ECM data display

[3400tZ]

Just realized this is already getting out of control a bit . I bought more stuff tonight, and I think I'm at about 500$ into this already Of course I will end up with A LOT of spare parts after I'm done but still a bit crazy. I just bought a Due, I want to use the Mega but I might give the Due a try at some point. In the end, it's cheaper then the Mega (doesn't matter for me now that I've bought both :P) and it has more hardware then this project will ever need (I hope).

Now, I need to stop buying stuff, receive everything and start the real coding!

I've renamed this project "DIY ECM Gauge" which seems to fit better with where I want to go with this then "MS CAN Gauge" :)

So repo is now at https://bitbucket.org/SebGiroux/diyecmgauge

(Still on hold on the project, waiting for a bunch of stuff to arrive still)

My ALDLGauge is pretty much done. Hooked it up to the '59 Jaguar. Got live data on the gauge and can transmit via BlueTooth to TunerPro!

Inside of the gauge case is a 16 pixel RGB LED ring, a 128 x 64 OLED display, two Arduino Pro Mini's (one handles the RGB ring and OLED display, one handles communications), a bluetooth transceiver and a 5v DC-DC power supply. There is a digital encoder that is remotely mounted to navigate through the display screens.

And exciting video of the gauge in action!

Looks awesome Mike! What are you using for a power supply circuit for 12V ?

I use these:

2A DC-DC converter.

Cool, ty. I will have to get one of those at some point!

So I moved everything over to an Arduino Mega.

Updated code is always here: https://bitbucket.org/SebGiroux/diyecmgauge. Still have a ton of work to do but all the component are working and basic stuff is hapening.

I can't wait to have finally received everything and start cleaning up this rat nest :)



And here is the schematic:
