Sorry guys, I was away on business travel and there's a bug in skinbedder where it won't focus the app that's embedded in it. Pretty much this is a work in progress and is pending a solution with skinbedder. I've included the skinbedder ini files that are used to properly format the screen, the RR skins for the OBD2 Menu and an example RR menu.ini file to load the OBD2 Menu, but since there's no way of getting focus from roadrunner, I can't send the F2 necessary to begin the realtime monitoring in the gauges. Again, once the author of skinbedder fixes the focus problem, I can add that to the RR skin command.

P.S. The main skin is available here Kuo Skin Release

edit: Actually, now that I've looked at it, sending the F2 isn't a problem (add {F2} to the end of each dash's sendkey command). The problem is when RR focuses skinbedder, skinbedder doesn't focus PCMSCAN, so if you want to change dashes or focus the app sometimes you have to tap the gauge area in order to get it to work. Otherwise, I haven't seen any major problems with it.

what ODBII hardware are you all using with PMSCAN . .. i noticed that the speed of acquisition is dependent on your hardware scanner ...

Hi everyone, I'm new to RR/Skinbedder and have no clue how to implement the PCMScan-skin in RR. Can some one help me? I'm not new to computers so a pointer in the right direction is enough. Or is there another nice way to show the PCMScan OBD2-data/gauges on a small screen? (I don't want the window borders, they take up too much space)

Don't forget to check out the new version of PCMSCAN. With the new DashXL™ technology, it will work great in CarPCs. DashXL™ is completely scalable to any screen resolution so it will still look great, even on such small displays. We're also working on a full screen mode to help you make even better use of your small CarPC screen.

Also, don't forget to check out the DashXL™ design contest: Dashboard Design Contest (win up to $200)!

I downloaded your files, it really works but can not switch dashs. Using keyborard 'CTRL+TAB" works well, but no response when RR "SENDKEY:^{TAB}" to skinbedder. Any solution?

Found the solution to integrate RR with PCMSCAN.

1) each window tab can display a different gauge screen.
2) switch the screen by focus the corresponding tab. This can be triggered in RR skin command which used the AutoIT script like this:

ControlFocus("SKINbedder - PCMSCAN","","[CLASS:wxWindowClass;INSTANCE:27]")

"SKINbedder - PCMSCAN" is the window title which defined in Skinbedder INI file
"[CLASS:wxWindowClass;INSTANCE:27]" is the tab id which you can get it using Winspector or AutoIt Window info.
