Since some of us have OBD interfaces and I will soon, as I am waiting for my local supplier to get me deltadash from ecutek, living 10 000 miles from civilisation sucks I want to know if I can display the Deltadash parameters on an lcd while I have Frodoplayer or ME running as the main application.

I have looked at matrixorbital / lcd smartie / lcdc etc and I think its possible but how would I get the info from Deltadash to the LCD application ?

Then the next bit is i would like this info displayed in a HUD

Which LCD / VFD should I get ? and has anyone else done this ?

I'm curious about this myself, as I'ld like that.
Ideally, using a function to change the LCD so it runs through stats from ODB-II (engine stats, temps, realtime mileage, etc.) on an LCD/VFD.
