Today i could get the Mac Adress from my EDL Logger.

The only App worked for me was “Hidden Bluetooth Scanner” V6.0 it took some minutes and the EDL Logger showed up. So i typed the Mac adress in the emu_mac_adress.h and it look like it is connected to the Display! Im excited to test it when im back at my car, maybe this weekend.

I need to upgrade my skills in reading and understandig the code. I want to “inj” to EGT1.
But thats only a nice to have. Im happy to see progress in that beautifull display. Thanks for the developer and @eudes

You should search a bit in code, currently it’s very static, but I introduced a listener to update all values. So you only need to set the value you want to display.

TBH, I left the fork network in order to improve a bit the velocity and to introduce more features.

I’m refactoring the UI, so the project is almost fully rewrite.

Thx to danu to have initiated the project.
I ll continue to improve mine.

Hello. I am new to programming and with your info I managed to make my esp32 3.5inch monitor work and it is very very good !!! Thank all of you reading the conv I managed to do that.
Can I ask Eudes if is it possible to add some more info on the screen like fuel press, tps position and also what is the yellow block in my screen ?
I will be happy also if I can contribute in any way ! Thanks !

The yellow dash will be replaced by the gear .

I uploaded a video , so you can see the behavior . Will try later to create one better

Ok now I understand what is that yellow parts. Is that easy for you to add some extra info on the screen like I said you before such as tps and fuel pressure ? Or tell me the way I have to do and I will try ? Thanks a lot !

Since I refactored the UI, it’s really easy to adapt the display.
I will try to update the git by the end of the week with some documentation to help for that changes.

You should replace instead of add, as it’s pretty unreadable if it’s too small (the reason I moved from 2.8" to 3.5")

The 2.8" is working but there is a pb of mirroring, so open to see a PR with the fix, It might be a lvgl config or TFT setting.

Personally, I ordered a 7" screen, so will create a new repo.

I will try on the road to see how much info is readable on that 3.5 screen. Thanks a lot I will be waiting for your extra info to customise mine with my readings ! Have good day !

Also is there a way that I can communicate with you if you want and have time to ask you some things about programming ?

Do you have a link for the 7” screen? I’d be really interested in this

Here is a good channel.

I updated the readme

I bought this one with touch screen
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005007678122640.html

I’m at the beginning, I can display stuff on it, and manage 2 differents screens (1 dedicated to track, the second one more for road usage or tuning usage, still duno)

I will create a dedicated git project for it as it’s different chipset, so not the same init.

The size diff is huge:

This would be great to have a go at I will order one
Please send the link if you release the code be really interesting to play with

Did you read the Readme, installation paragraph?

Hi thanks for info I will follow them and I hope all go good ! Can I get in touch with you about a project I would like to make if you want to make that for me ? Of course I will pay for that ! Thanks a lot.

Sure but it will take more time as the esp32-S3 doesn"t include standard bluetooth. So I need to figure out how to grab the data :smiley:

Can you upload again?

I just wanted to reiterate my thanks for kicking this little project off!!! I am NEARLY where I want to be, creating a custom OBC for my E30. I want it to look retro, but having issues trying to create custom retro font. But just using the standard LVGL font… I am still pretty happy. Making it dark orange to match the cars existing instruments looks good. I am going to shorten the names a bit and bump the font up in size, but once there, i’ll be happy. Had a ball learning all this stuff too (both 3d printing, for the mount, and coding). That said it has taken me WEEKS to get to this :sweat_smile: !!!
