redesigning a Gauge Display
Is there a way to redesign these Chinese speedometers and assign new canbus IDs?

Have you heard of real dash?

Re: redesigning a Gauge Display
yes, I'm currently experimenting with that, boot times are just not particularly good, I'm trying to get to grips with it so that I can maybe get something done with buildroot on rpi4, but it's all new territory for me

Re: redesigning a Gauge Display
What about something like this?

It's a bit cheaper than most of the aftermarket dashes and would need to be reconfigured for ev usage, but might be easier than making your own from scratch. There is a raspberry pi dash out there as well and it takes ages to boot up.

You could try a m.2 hat for the Pi, would help alot with boot times. Especially on a Pi5.

Re: redesigning a Gauge Display
this is also a pretty good project, but unfortunately I don't know much about Linux

Re: redesigning a Gauge Display
I've now looked into realdash, it doesn't look too bad, only the boot times of 35 seconds are a bit long, the whole thing runs on an rpi3, can data is also transferred quite quickly
