zz_MegaSquirt LCDash
Open Source engine control used to be impossible to do, and then came the MegaSquirt project. I spent about a month tweaking the parameters on my laptop until I decided it’d be a lot cooler to have a built in EFI control and display… on my dashboard!
Enter the LCDash… it’s an LCD digital touchscreen for MegaSquirt running MS1 Extra, MS1 Extra HiRes, MS2, or MS2 Extra code. It can display up to 5 different parameters in a combination of bar meters, line graphs, and needles gauges. There are several layouts to choose from so you can view several graphs side by side, or in an oscilloscope sine wave format, pie charts, you name it (and if it the one you’re looking for isn’t in there, just let me know and I’ll code it right up)...
There’s a lot of documentation, so it’d be hard to list it all here in one place, so I’ve started a dedicated wiki over here: http://lcdash.wikispaces.com/
