Got my home made ALDLgauge mounted in dash of my '74 XJ-6 and have it talking via bluetooth to ALDLdroid.

The XJ-6 has a handy little shelf that is perfect for my Android tablet.

Got my gauges...

3400tZ,

Dang! Your project is looking great!

I got my homemade gauge mounted in the '74 Jaguar this weekend:

Bluetooth is the way to go. It's a little more money for the ALDL adapter but no wires is awesome!

I've always kind of liked unusual cars.

I think my next injection project will be my 1972 N600 Honda. It's powered by a 600cc, 2 cylinder, 4 stroke, air-cooled motorcycle engine.

The...

Here's a couple of pics:

The first two are at http://www.hallettracing.net a local 1.8 mile road course.

The third shows the dash. The thing with the green LCD display hanging under the dash is...

My '59 has a "cubby hole" next to the steering wheel that is the perfect size for my Android tablet with ALDLdroid, pretty handy!

1: Hadn't considerer the location of the digits on the gauge to be configurable. Looking at my cars, the odometer (the only digits I have on gauge faces) are all under the needle pivot.

2: The way...

I've got two "feature" requests.

1: On the gauge faces, move the digital display to below the needles pivot point. I usually scale my gauges so that the needle is right in the middle of the gauge...

3400tZ,

Disregard that last error report I sent, I thought my tablet had already downloaded the latest update but had not.

Updated and now no more issues!

Keep up the good work!!!

Built a second ALDLgauge for my '74 Jaguar.

I used an original Jaguar gauge case because I wanted it to match the others in the dash. I'll replace the cars voltage gauge with the ALDL gauge.

Looks very nice!

I ran into the same issue with too much tiny text on the screen.

I decided to go with two lines; the top line is for the parameter value with a text size of 5 (which gives...

Ya, it was kinda weird. Never had this issue before but it was fairly repeatable but doing a hard acceleration and then quickly letting off the throttle. That was the only time it would do it, like...

Hey I got an M470BSA! It's a Hisense Sero 7 Pro.

Got those two crashes (had a few more that are identical that I didn't send) while driving along and minding my own business. It was weird, it seem...

Here's a link with info and code for the three projects below, ALDL_Communication (the basic Mode 1 request), ALDL Bluetooth Repeater (ECU to ALDLdroid / TunerPro via bluetooth) and the ALDL Gauge:...

Thanks Jim85IROC,

I will post code and construction information shortly. Getting the parts to all fit in the case was the real challenge!

I'd think my stuff would be easily adaptable to ODBII....

I think the only way you'll get all of those unknown parameters hiding in ADX files programed into ALDLdroid is by having people use it and report their issues.

And I think the people who are...

I've been using ALDLdroid for a week or so and I'm real happy!

I'm using $A1 code in my '59 Jaguar and connecting via bluetooth to a 7" Sero7 Pro tablet (got mine from Walmart for $150). There are...

My ALDLGauge is pretty much done. Hooked it up to the '59 Jaguar. Got live data on the gauge and can transmit via BlueTooth to TunerPro!

Inside of the gauge case is a 16 pixel RGB LED ring, a 128...

Mega is what I've used on my other projects too. 8k of memory and 3 hardware serial ports are real handy.

The Arduino-MegaMini is 3" long and the Teensy++ 2.0 is 2", neither will fit in the 2...

Ended up using an Arduino Nano instead of the Flora because I didn't want to deal with 3.3v / 5v level shifting.

I might run out of memory too.... The Adafruit OLED library reserves a 1k buffer...

Well, here's a prototype of my ALDL Gauge:

It's not real data, just experimenting with visuals and packaging.

The colors are a little over saturated making them...

I got the basics working today.

In standalone mode the gauge requests data from the ECM, which means it has the mode request and data stream info in the Arduino sketch (I'm only doing mode 1...

I'm gearing my ALDL Gauge to work with your ALDLdroid, it can operate stand alone or as a bluetooth connection for ALDLdroid (function as a standard bluetooth to ALDL interface, got that working at...
