Custom Colour arduino Dash Display

Postby Colin105 » Sat Oct 07, 2017 5:52 am

Hi guys
Thought you might be interested in a YouTube video covering a project of mine to build a custom dash display using a 3.5” Colour LCD screen and an arduino that is compatible with the Race Technology serial communication Format

You only need 2 things in your tool box, duct tape and WD40.
-if it moves and it shouldn't use the duct tape
-if it doesn't move and it should use the WD40

Fantastic work! Question - are you able to use any of the lap timing functions on your display?

Hi
I haven't implemented any of the lap timing functions in my unit as the car is mostly used for rally's rather than circuit work. I think, but am not sure as i haven't looked into it much, that the Lap timing calculations are all done in the DL1 rather than the dash, if that's the case it would be very easy to implement the functionality into my screen
cheers
