In this video, I go over some of the common questions I get asked about my custom digital dash I made for my 300ZX, and show some of how I built it. I may make a follow-up to this video, if there is enough interest!
At the time of publication, I am not offering these for sale.
I am working on determining an outlet in which I may publish some of the information I have, relating to this project. I will update this description once this is available.

Bro, from a fellow z31 owner, I WANT this!! I tried to do something similar with a raspberryPi but as you stated, it was not fluid at all. Ended scraping that idea years ago. If you ever decide to sell, whether it's just hardware, software or as a kit, count me in on a buy in!

Just seeing this made me want to play Turbo Overkill again. Amazing work and i cant imagine just how much time and effort went into making it a reality. Any plans on adding selectable retro themed backgrounds? If you do please add that one old-school aesthetic design that you'd see on fastfood cups. White background with the turquoise brush with the gentle navy squiggle over it. I believe it was called Jazz (design). That graphic always brings me back.

Impressive work! Very nice end result! What did you use to R/W CAN bus signals? What is something of the shelf? I'm asking because I want to work on a CAN signal conversions for a Volkswagen cruise control unit.

For the CAN interfacing (among other things), I'm using an ESP32. They have CAN built in, so the only extra parts needed is a transceiver chip.

@bryansmith4143 2 месяца назад

fairly curious what ADC's you chose for the project too.. this is fascinating

@BlitzenDesignLab 2 месяца назад

I haven't really got my work published much at the moment I'm afraid, this is just a hobby and I haven't had the time to compile everything. For ADCs I'm using some ATmegas, since I can use them to also do some co-processing and handling of the security stuff as well, treating the main CAN compatible microcontroller as an HID item of sorts. If I were to go through it ground-up again I'd probably change up the architecture though as this has a lot of moving parts so to speak.

@BlitzenDesignLab 2 месяца назад

It's a bit of homebrew kit, but at its core it's nothing too spectacular! Just an ATmega with an mcp2515 can transceiver, which is sending the captured canbus data to an old android phone I'm using with a serial monitor. The plan would eventually be to write up some software on Android to organize the data and monitor for changes / decode on the fly, but this works for now. You can get the same data with an arduino Uno, a canbus shield and a laptop, I just wanted more convenience!
