Digital Gauges

[Crans]

I have a touchscreen LCD screen in my 32 GTR and plan on reading in sensor values to display what the engine is doing.

Has any one got gauge pictures/3d models i can use for this. I suck at art work but can do the programming/3d rendering needed.

Would like it to look like the 35 display if possible.

Any artists wanna help out?

not sure if I have time but , what format do you need them in? what software do you plan on using to interface. what software to render 3D?

what gauges do you need , colours? what size? resolution is the screen running? bit depth?

its going to be a mountain of work to interface program ,might be easier to use existing software and tricking that out to your specs,colours?

what OS is your car pc running?

Adaptronic do something like that which displays values similar to a power FC hand controller but can interface directly to an LCD screen... Personally I'd wait for them to release their 1280 plug in ECU though

Any format but .x/3ds max formats would be great. I am making the interface my self. MS Visual C++ and will probably use .Net 3.5 frame work.

Renderer will be Direct 3D. Need AFR/Lambda, oil pressure, RPM, Boost PSI/BAR, Injector Duty. Colour and size dont matter as this can be changed to suit at run time. Screen size it 640x480 and 16-32 bit is fine.

Mountain of work????? Nah this sort of thing is pretty simple, Try rendering a massive landscape with trees and water with shadow now thats a bit of a job this sort of thing is hell easy.

RPM and injector duty will come from Consult the rest will come from a handy usb device that reads voltage.

Car PC is an Asus EEEPC running a cut down version of Windows XP.

Hi im interested as well. Any updates on this????

Yea, I'd be interested to know about this USB device as well

This guy has done it;

Ask him

Thats pretty awsome.

Slowly working on my system will have to build it with "Programmer Art"

I cant run and incar test ATM as my EEEPC is currently strapped to the handle bars of a Yamaha Banshee for tunning our custom fuel injection system.

Hopefully it survives.

I'm also trying to do this sorta' thing. I've got an Apexi AVCR and wanna put in a Vi-pec ecu, and then run the combined load of readouts through my laptop. Anybody got any idea if that's even feasible?

thanks for the info

Check out the ADC they use for Nistune that what im using for now untill I get an embedded device working with video out.
