Here I report on the first live demo of the large 2.8″ touch display. In the course of developing the new display, it was important to me to read the data directly on a vehicle to see how the display behaves with live data.
The test vehicle
I was able to get Denis on board for this and he made his Golf 2 VR6 Turbo with Ecumaster Emu control available. He also wanted to have the shift light directly. We lowered the speed thresholds a little for the video so that the engine didn’t have to be driven up to the limiter. You can freely determine the speed limit and color for each of the 8 LEDs.
Installation position
Due to its compact height, the display can be installed precisely into the DIN radio slot. Denis still had a previous version with a 3D printed housing. I later delivered the milled aluminum cover to him.
Live demo (video)
Here finally the video. The following widgets are used:
– Speed widget (top)
– Number display (four pieces on the left side: engine temperature, boost pressure, intake temperature, oil temperature)
– Round display (right side: Lambda1)
