Wanted to play around with an instant-on digital dash for the Megasquirt EFI.

Testing new Arduino based Dash for MS3
Working on an almost instant on (within 1-2 seconds) MS3 dash that doesnt require any special steps to power off and shows data almost immediately. It will be a text only dash for the first iteration.

Updates, upgrades to the turbo Camaro
Getting suuuper close. The closer we get, the closer *I* get to work on the new CAN based Arduino dash for the MS3 Gold box.
Required changes for the 1000+ hp this turbo Camaro will put down.

Working on an Arduino based CAN-BUS dash
I’ve been thinking of ways to improve the Raspberry Pi based PiDash. While I can add software functionality, I want speed. The only way I know of is using an Arduino, a SeeedStudio CAN BUS Hat, Nextion display and some custom C++ code.

Added a 3.5″ Display to the PiDash
If for some reason you want to use a 3.5″ display with your PiDash, you can. I mean, its super tiny. But if there are only a limited number of things you want to see, then just get the 3.5″ kit they have on Amazon here for the Pi 4. It works fine and is a touch screen also.

New Dash Build coming up!
I’ve been thinking of different ways to speed up the PiDash build but it all leads me to either writing my own software that accesses a RS485 CAN HAT which connects to the CAN bus on the MS3 ECU or an Arduino setup. For now my end game is to have a text only display. I just need something that is instant on and has a layout of what I deem is important to me.

New build first start!
H-Squared Racing in Houston TX built a forged LS for me. I ran the same 317 heads as my previous build but everything else is upgraded internally on the engine, including a custom cam, all spec’d for E-85. My initial start is for heat cycles, about 4. Then I’ll change the oil, inspect the filter and then go for a drive.

Making changes to my personal setup
I’m finding that acquiring time from GPS works, TunerStudio will be datalogging as soon as it starts running, well, that’s how mine is configured. GPS time will sync but I’m not sure how that will affect the logs and whatnot. My problem is that the real-time clock (RTC) module will hit the aluminum heat sink and short out so I bought a new case to put all of this in. I bought the adafruit RTC and then one off of Amazon. The Amazon version has pins that will let me plug in the fan from the new case. I’ve had an RTC but misplaced it. Its a simple setup. Plug it in, configure it, set the time and then it’ll keep track on its own.

PiDash by AB Updater – NEW Version!
I made some changes to the Updater which were needed. Added indicator lights to show what is Enabled/running (Green), Disabled/not running(Red). Added a “C”onfigured button for GPS Time and Mausberry along with cleaning up some code which controls system processes. Download the latest PiDash by AB Updater here!
