Which we also provide for free. If your car doesnt have OBDII, it is a good alternative.

The Fusion Brain doesn't look bad, and price is pretty good -- about the same as an ELM based adapter for OBDII (maybe a bit more, but close!). The software and sensor areas are still a bit fuzzy. I'm assuming it wouldn't be too hard to use standard automotive sensors as long as the range is known since they are primarily potentiometers. I clicked on the "skins" tab and was directed back to the main page though. Do you have a skin for MDX that looks like a digital dash board? I'd want a speedo and tach as well. Both of those are voltage pulses.

A tutorial showing how to connect even a few simple gauges (say the basic volts/oil pressure/water temp combo) would be a great demo and selling point! Add a tach and/or speedo and any common instrument can be duplicated by modifying one of the above.

If you have OBDII, and want really easy, then get an OBDII reader. For cars that want more or dont have it, then our FB is a good alternative. Skins are not there at the moment. But we have a skin that looks exactly like the gtr one (or whatever it is, like in post #103). You can make a skin look like anything you want just like this software I think (I havent used this one).

I dont really want to threadjack too much, but we have a subforum, so if you want more answers, I suggest a thread in there

PPE,
Can your program display gages on more then one screen? Say you have speed/tach/gear on one and then oil/coolant/fuel on another?

Currently, DashCommand only supports a single dashboard screen. But keep an eye out in the near future - we are working on multiple screen support and some other cool new features!

Hope you get it soon. I am looking at a fully digital dash and your program looks promising

I'd be keen to find out whether low power boards, like my M10000, are able to cope with the graphics demand. Anyone used this with an M10000?

I've downloaded the skyline skin, thanks PPE, but is there any other out there?

Cheers,
Dave

After a lot of time working on GTR Gauges, finally I can show you how it looks like. There are specially developed for Mazda RX-8 and with PCMSCAN custom scripts for fuel monitor and more.

I hope you like it.

First view called "Speed View"

Second view called "Fuel View"

Third view called "Engine View"

Fourth view called "Fuel Flow View"

Fifth view and NOT yet finished called "Gear Position"

I will upload dash when it will be finished.

Looks aok

@ asmpbm,

Awesome work mate. That would be fantastic if you could upload on completion!

Cheers,
Dave
