Data logging nextion dash

Post by jacomms »

So I finally started getting bits together for my trusty old 1 Tonner and thought ......I don't think I like the cluster (if we can call it a cluster at all).

Started looking around and stumbled across VL400 ALDL data logger (which I had seen pic's of some time ago) and got thinking ....I been playing with Nextion displays for non-car projects.
I flicked VL400 a quick email and bounced it off him and thought lets bounce it off the group.

My thought (feel free to give me an upper cut if needed ;-) )

Take the ALDL 8192 data from the PCM to a modded/remodelled VL400 data logger without the screen, add extra I/O's the pass serial data to the displays (from 1 - 3 displays as needed)
The Nextion displays do all the heavy lifting and the arduino only needs to pass the required data as such.

Here are a few quick links to look at :
