Been a viewer for a long time. I cannot begin to imagine how much work this was to figure out from scratch, but you presented it in such a way that viewers can easily do it. I am sure it took days to weeks to figure out that weird software and get stuff working! Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and sharing spirit my friend.

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your support, it´s much appreciated. You are correct that figuring out the software was tedious and time consuming process. I wonder if it´s just bad, or if it´s just the English translation and it´s more usable in Chinese. In any case, hopefully it should be more understandable now.

[@dogsarebest7107]

@@upir_upir I mean, there's levels of bad translations! The software for the tl866ii+ (and now t48/56) programmer has gotten better over the years but it's still weird at times. But 5 years ago using that programmer/software was like pulling teeth - just like the screen software! Having to press multiple buttons for no reason, etc. I made a comment below about using an elm + torque software (+torquescan and the plugin api app) for the canbus stuff. It would be nearly impossible to try to do it all on an arduino. Using an elm+torque, you'll be able to get all the information you need for the canbus stuff, including the values and how it's mapped to the actual gauge, something torque is amazing at and pulls from massive database! Then once you have all the info, addresses, values, mapping, etc from Torque, moving it over to an arduino+canbus adapter will be a lot easier! The reason I'm so excited is my new car has 3 gauges on the dash. Boost, turbo RPM, and... battery voltage. Wompwomp.. So I was looking into using a 2" round LCD+arduino to replace that useless voltage gauge with something actually useful, so your work here has saved me uncountable hours. And possibly the other 2 depending how well it worked out! It's even dumber because you can't even see coolant temp (in degrees) or oil pressure at all, except in performance gauge view, which gets rid of the speedometer gauge.. So your project overlap with my plans is like 95%. Thanks again!

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your comment, and good luck with your project, I´m sure it will turn out great. The ESP32 vs. Arduino will make a very little difference, since it´s really just sending Serial data, and any microcontroller can do that. I have tested those DWIN screens also with micro:bit and it worked as well. The important piece is to get the DWIN display together with accessories, that will save you same headache, as not all SD cards are supported, and if you don´t get one from DWIN, you might need to do some non-standard formatting. Anyway, let me know if you face any issues.

Does that screen have a way to rotate a single image? If so, it would use a lot less memory to store the gauges as a single background layer image and then have the needle as a single image that is rotated, instead of having 121 images of the needle in different positions...

[@upir_upir]

Unfortunately, it cannot rotate images. Actually, it might rotate image, but the quality is not so great and you only have 1bit transparency, so no alpha blending. That´s the limitation of the used custom chip.

[@Neberheim]

The only question I have: is this is an efficient use of resources? It seems like a lot to use a unique bitmap for every single value. Is it redrawing the entire graphic as it loads each bitmap? Wouldn't it be more efficient to display the background graphic as a static image, and only draw/redraw the needle?

[@upir_upir]

This is how the display should be used, as it only supports 1-bit transparency, so showing the needle over the background might introduce some visual artifacts. I was able to fit two themes with 3 gauges, each having 120 images. That´s 720 images. I feel like that´s probably way too many steps, and probably half of the images would still provide nice and smooth gauge, plus I can probably also lower the compression and it would still look nice. Also, the images could be cropped slightly, but it was easier to do it this way for the tutorial.

[@ToyotaStarletP7]

@@upir_upir I was thinking the same, maybe even use vector files for the background, where eg colors could be variable. That should theoretically also work for the needle (with the glow), as gradiants are possible as well. But 1-bit transparency is not enough.

[@AutoTuring]

Очень интересно, но не понятно как вы преобразовываете сигнал CAN (Controller Area Network) для того чтобы ваше устройство знала какие ей данные показывать

[@upir_upir]

I will cover Obd2 connection in the next video.

Geniální, podobným způsobem by se dal vyřešit problém s neexistující nahradou jednoho typu displeje pro Peugeot 406, který marně hledají fanoušci 406tek po celé Evropě. Jen nemyslim, že je reálné abych se k tomu dokopal 😢. Ale toto video mě posunulo z bodu nejde to.... Do bodu ono by to šlo, jen ta časová náročnost a odhodlání. Tak ať maji videa úspěch 👍

[@michallelek406]

PS: na video jsem narazil na své homepage 🤔 asi dobře vycvičený algoritmus, auta, technika, 3d tisk, elektronika, stavařina .... Jen pro zajímavost jako zpětná vazba

[@upir_upir]

Díky za info! Mužů se zeptat, co je to přesně za displej? Tj., co je na něm zobrazeno?

[@michallelek406]

@@upir_upir průměrná spotřeba 2 paměti (druhý typ displeje umí jen jednu), rádio, venkovní teplota, datum a čas, pozice v CD měniči a kdysi to umělo i navigaci. Teď se mi při hledání podařilo najít jakýsi pásek k LCD ale nemyslím, že to problém vyřeší, problém nastane když se displej zahřeje, text začne mizet

[@Mgrepairs]

It'd be nice to see how you modify a android radio to get more options out of it or more functions

[@upir_upir]

That would be nice, but unfortunately that´s outside the scope of my knowledge - at least for now.

[@DanCycles]

Thank you for the video! I’m trying to find a square gauge like this for my motorcycle to monitor map sensor pressure ( using a gm 3 bar map sensor) + lambda ( using spartan v3 lite) but I can’t find any… I guess I will have to do it myself based on your video ❤

[@upir_upir]

Creating thing by yourself is always great, good luck with your project!

[@cpzmelbs]

This is fantastic, both the design and the video itself. Do you have an RS yourself? Or do you plan to do other car related projects in the future? 👍👍

[@upir_upir]

Thank you, I´m glad you like it! I don´t have RS, only the "S" :/ But I do plan to make more car-related projects in the future. What kind of project would you be interested in?

[@nikoladd]

ICL was a file format for Icon Libraries. You could try to manage them with GreenFish or some other icon editor tool. It's basically a DLL containing only icon resources. If this is the case you can get some proper 32bit transparency editing.

[@upir_upir]

Unfortunately this particular ICL format has just the same extension, but it´s completely different format. The 1-bit transparency is not a restriction of the file format, but of the used chip on the display.

[@GarageKei]

fantastic video

[@upir_upir]

Thank you!

[@ericflower9855]

Really great video....ever think about doing a digital dash with tunerstudio as input?

[@upir_upir]

Thank you! Yes, I do plan to try some dashboard, but is the turnerstudio really the input? I though that it is for displaying the data.

[@NotRealNamesAgain]

Recently bought a '24 Honda Civic. I'd pay real money for add-on oil pressure and coolant temperature like this.

[@upir_upir]

Could you please send me an email? It´s on the about page of this channel. Thanks!

[@reedtiger4425]

It's an impressive video, but I'd like to see how the page changes when you tap on the screen, like at the beginning of the video. In other words, I understand how tapping works, but I don't quite understand how to add a new set of images and change where they're located on the page. Also, it's not clear if the addresses for the animation elements in the other set will be the same.

[@upir_upir]

Thank you. If you want to see how that project was made, you can download it from GitHub and take a closer look - both projects are there. I will explain all the details in the next video, but yes, the VP addresses are the same between those pages so they both change at the same time.

[@christianeagle89]

Could you make a video showing how to power your automotive projects from a car? My agm car battery runs around 12-13 volts and can have spikes depending on if car is cranking or ac starts up ect. im also worried the onboard voltage controller couldnt even handle that voltave for long period of time without overheating. im in the proccess of building a car from scratch right now and this would be EXTREMLY helpful. Thanks a lot and keep up the great content!

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your suggestion, this is definitely something I will need to solve once I move the project inside the actual car, so I will cover that topic for sure.

[@musa_usmanov]

приветсвую! Думаю значения для датчиков вы могли бы брать с порта obd2 а точнее с can шины. но для этого думаю нужно будет докупить mcp2345 вроде так называется.

[@upir_upir]

Yes, I would like to explore OBDII more in the next video.

[@x-TURBO-x]

would be nice to install on my Suzuki intruder handlebar tripple gauge: oil presure;Roll (at the center): coolant temp. Maybe possible to do double function in one gauge? i mean by double click to switch for example: from coolant temp to battery level?

[@upir_upir]

Yes, it should be possible to switch between different set of gauges, I might cover that in some future video. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@sHpAaKu316]

great stuff! now can You explain how to make it work based on ODB2 CAN signals?

[@upir_upir]

Yes, that´s the topic for the next video.

[@delpre3606]

Super cool projet Do you know how we can send the variable that is modified by the slider on the touch screen back to the Arduino so we can change the dimness of an led for exemple ?

[@upir_upir]

Thank you. I will cover sending data from the display back into Arduino in the next video.

[@kiztime1234]

Can you show us how to tap into the CANBUS to supply it with data?

[@upir_upir]

Yep, that would be something for the next video.

[@kiztime1234]

@@upir_upir That would be lovely! I pilfered a few CANBus boards from AliExpress, but I've not yet tinkered with them, looking forward to it :)

Same here, I have a lot of boards, but now is finally time to actually use those..

cool, I actually want to do a very similar project for my mitsubishi using an STM and a 3x7 segment display with 2 buttons later this will be updated to a 7" TFT touch display, I still have to design the PCBs though
