Ordered all the parts for a DIY project ill be heading up.

General idea. Psi and vac display with a bar graph underneath. LCD will be blue when map sensor reads vac, green during boost and red when the over boost parameter is met or exceeded.

Simple project but should be fun. Progress will most likely be slow due to lack of free time.

Basic parts list:

Arduino board


16x2 rgb serial lcd screen


Atmospheric pressure sensor so there isn't a need to manually calibrate once operational.


Map sensor

 

What was the cost of materials needed, sounds like a cool idea.

 

Very interesting. Cant wait to see results!

 

Yum daddy likey

 

Cost + install please.

 

agreed!

Interesting... Can't wait to see the outcome!

 

In for updates.

 

would also be interested in this project, please update as it goes along!

 

Someone on Subaruforester.org did something like that. It looks so stealth.

Different developer. This one gives oil/atf temp, voltage, boost w/graph, and a rally (100ths clock), along with an automatic I/C sprayer controller. Sorry it's not a 256 color display, but it's meant to blend in, not stand out.

 

Wow

 

That sounds like a nice setup, I personally would get frustrated with that much on a small screen. Although, I am debating on a touch screen setup along the lines of what you were describing.

As for an update, there isn't one. Just not-so-patiently waiting for the parts to get here.
