If not does this mean that each make/model of car has different PIDs? And is it easy to get the PID data so I can avoid sitting out in the car for ages?

Thanks,

Most of PIDs are named the same way in all cars, like SAE.RPM, but other pid, maybe are not avaliable, or are name in different way.

Morning all,

I downloaded Dashcommand demo to my Acer 1353 AMD Athlon 2400 (64MB shared memory) with 512MB DDR RAM. I tested the Elm 327 unit by using Dashcommand 'evalution copy'. It seemed to work ok but the CPU usage remained at 100%. Is there any explanation/workaround for this as my Car PC mobo is only an EPIA M10000?

I really want to use this application but I'm reluctant to purchase a copy if the other functions of the Car PC i.e. Music and GPS are compromised. Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Cheers,
Dave

The application definitely is not that resource intensive. Many are running it on car pc's.
My guess is something has hung. Try looking at running processes, or uninstall and re-install.

Cheers allypally,

As you say, 'there are many Dashcomand users' here. That's why I'm so puzzled that I'm having an issue. I'll try an clean install to the Car PC itself and see what happens then.

Cheers,
Dave

I've just read about Dashcommand using remaining CPU performance to optimise the application, Anyhow, I've ordered a licence using PPE kind offer of discount to mp3car users.

Thanks PPE,
Dave

FYI, i run dashcommand with 6 gauges (nissan skyline), igo8 gps, winamp with vis enabled, and carnetix psumoni etc, all at the same time on an AMD BE2350CPU/1GB ram with no performance issues or skipping....

Thanks for the feedback Pete. That's good to hear your Car PC isn't compromised. My licence has arrived and I hope to install into Car over the weekend.

Has anyone got any tips for multi-dash selection integration into RR i.e aspbpm's gauges?

Thanks everyone,
Dave

Multidash isn't in current release , but Brian of palmer has been hinting that this feature is iminent....that and scripted pid support eg mpg support, are the 2 features I,m hoping for.

Could I ask you where the scripts should be placed? Are these key to activating PIDs?

Many thanks,
Dave

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.

All very nice, but you will need to work out the spelling of some of the text in your screens. (efficiency, timing.....)

Any news on the consult plugin for dash command yet, for us fellas with Older Nissans?

asmpbm · 10-20-2008, 11:06 AM

Hi again. I've working on update for GTR Gauges for DashCommand/PCMSCAN.

I hope BrandomPPE include the features I told him about add "Next/Prev tabs", and "GoTo Tab" and we could have something working like this.

I hope you like it.

These are really good guages, and I have installed them into my Ford. Naturally the dials require modification to get accurate figures, and I am slowly working through these to set them for my car.
However, only some of the guages are actually getting readings from my DashXL, so it appears that the PID's required are either not present or not switched on.
This is where I am having problems. For example, the above guage, which records fuel level, appears to call for a PID called SAE.RPM. I was under the impression that PID was for a Tacho, so was a little confused why it would be recorded as the OBD-11 value in the settings.
Can anyone shed light on this?
Does the PID need to be recorded in the dashboard object view, or the script?
