Dashdaq

Ive been playing with my DashDaq, and so far love it. The only thing I don't like is the defualt gauges. So...

I have been playing with the editing tool. When I am done, it will be AWESOME...

I took the default-



And added digital gauges to the inside, and changed faces to White. This was just a proof of concept to make sure I could do it. Next version will be built with actual rendered photos of Gauges, and modified fonts to look perfect...

Nice. If you figure out how to program the base level boost PM me. Guess I'm not smart enough to figure it out.

Here is my current build installed and working. The labels needed to be moved, and they need to be moved again. Regardless- It is WORKING, and I will finish it up. Im stoked!!

No, the only spot I've found acceptable is in the very left corner of the windshield. Now that Bramage has come up with a better looking solution to a skin design it will be more kind on the eyes.

That looks great .... the dashdaq has been on my list of mods for a while now. When I get mine, I may need your help with a few customizations

It's used to Datalogg your car!

Faster way to find out more information about it is to "search" it through the forums. There are lots of threads about it!

Rob at Needswings set me up with the Dashdaq / Zeitronics combo. It is a very nice set up. Thanks to a number of members for their input.

Rob is the man, and will help you get what you need.

I finished the skin today, and I think it is done. I have a couple people "Testing" it.. so if there is any feedback, I can make changes very easily and quickly.

I need to go drive around now for no apparent reason! (****, I need gas)

Dane, finally got around to installing the skin today. It is the bees knees man! So much better then the standard Dashdaq skin. Thanks again for the hook up and the directions on how to install it.

Im glad you like it. I do as well.. In fact, I hated the standard screen so much.. I made this one. You reminded me, I need to make some instructions for Alan to differenciate his 2 AFR signals. The process is "easy", and allows any signal to be renamed, if you do not like what it is called by default.

Depending on what signal you use, you may have some text that is too big. If this happens, let me know what you are doing, and ill adjust it. I plan on going in and working on some of the other screeds too, however I usually only use the main screen. Thanks again !!! (Still loving the DR set up.. 1.668 soon to be 1.500 WHAT?????
