Aeon Dashboard

This is a continuation of the XilVGA project - where it's becoming the dashboard for my Aeon GT3.

Gauge placement

I did a rough layout plan for the dashboard gauges based on what I was expecting to use. The gauges are as follows:

• Speed (measured)
• Revs (ECU CANBus)
• Fuel level (measured)
• Water temperature (measured or ECU CANBus)
• Oil temperature (measured)
• Oil pressure (measured)
• Boost (ECU CANBus)
• Inlet temperature (ECU CANBus)
• Fuel pressure (ECU CANBus)
• Battery voltage (measured or ECU CANBus)

Some of them can be taken either from the ECU (which I'm luckily using one with a CANBus interface), or measured using the existing senders I've got for the DigiDash unit.

Anyway, here's what the XilVGA is plotting:

Unfortunately, the camera doesn't really like the contrast, so is getting a lot of the reflection off the screen. It also can't seem to auto-focus either.

Other things that will be displayed are:

• Brake fluid warning
• Indicators (these may need to be replicated by LEDs)
• Fog light warning
• Side/dip light
• Main beam warning
• Current MP3 track (I want to give it an MP3 playing capability)
