Been playing with an Arduino & touchslide this evening. The Arduino is a little computer and the touchslide is a touch screen for it, like this:
Only the battery voltages and link status are live data at the moment, the rest is a mock up to see where I'll go with the UI layout. Why? Because I can and it cuts down on the number of little box's and gauges I'd need stuck around the dashboard otherwise! I currently have an IBS that gets upset when I use my Stirling DC-DC charger, a BOAB trip meter that's massive for what it does (like most trip meters it seems) and have yet to fit a transmission temp gauge. This should replace all those and give me alarms for over temp etc.
