So I came across this the other day... (http://www.p3cars.com/bmw/bmw-z-series/bmw-e85-e86-p3-obd2-multi-gauge/)
It got me thinking I'd like to have a tinker and see if I can make my own version, but with a 'fancier' display - either 2 x OLED or a single 1.8" TFT screen.
I was hoping other may have some input in regards to what they think would look better? what they'd like seen displayed? (There's a button to cycle through), and for TFT Options - any thoughts on a nice gauge background?
In my TFT screen shot, the clock gauge is just a bitmap, and the needle and red numbers are drawn by the code. I made the image from images I found of the Lexus LFA gauges... was purely my first test
OLED - Image from google
TFT - Image of my own TFT demo (Excuse the lack of focus, my camera skills are abysmal. The display is clearer IRL)
Example of some OLED display modes (Image from google)
Before you say...
Because I can
