Digital Instrument Cluster Final Version

[AltiXx]

Another one made for Khyber

Can you make one for my Khyber Also?? If yes then pm me price

does it work for cultus? specially the RPM and speed sensor? how much.. pm please..

RpM works for cultus as well.
For speed, gadget require electrical type of stock speed sensor to interface. Mean wires coming from sensor ,NOT CABLE, to stock speedometer.
I have no idea weather cultus has electrical type of stock speed sensor or still had cable...

@uetian04 waiting for your response...

Cultus has mechanical speed sensor. So alto has an electrical sensor??

Also please pm me the price of this unit. I'm interested in rpm reading for eps input.

Yes, PAk Alto has Electronic type of speed so it has digital oddo.

Ive pm'ed you further details

Hi, I'm building my own rally car and I'm very interested by this type of digital instrument, especially the graphic display part, is it possible for you to PM me the diagram of your display wiring ?
Thank you in advance, and very nice job man !

[sheep13]

In fact I'm already using a PIC18f4550 with a lot of 7-segment units, I would love to know how to drive a Graphic LCD display, I'm stuck with that, I don't know the C code to do that with a graphic display.

I'm not asking you to give me the solution, I guess you worked hard on your dashboard, I'm just looking for a litlle help to send my sensor's values to the GLCD, please please please :).

Best regards.

[uetian04]

Nice!
Actually I'd used 18F2550 that has same architecture (EEPROM, PROM and RAM ) except pins count as 18F4550 for my GLCD cluster.
So you can easily transform your code to drive GLCD to display whatever data is available.
For driving GLCD, the important thing is compiler selection. Many are available for download from internet. CCS and mikroC for PIC are example. I'm using later one for my GLCD projects.
It has built-in libraries to drive GLCD (128 x 64) and sample codes along with reference schematic in software help.
You can use these for starting projects.
For downloading free version, here is link http://www.mikroe.com/.

After getting some hands on how GLCD is interfaced with pic microcontroller, you can built your own codes to display data in different fonts for nicely look. For further reading how to write code for GLCD, have a look in help on GLCD library.
If you're in LAHORE, you can get GLCD easily from Hall road in price of 1500 or you can also order online http://www.evselectro.com/
As you are already using pic so I'm sure you will have programmer for pic as well.

First, thank you for your answer.

I triyed MikroC pro for PIC but I was limited by the demo version, actually I'm using MLAPB X IDE with XC8 from Microship. So the GLCD library from MikroC doesn't fit with it, I'm building my own library but it's not easy as you can guess ^^, I finally understand how to drive the GLCD from MPLAB, for now, I'm able to draw on the GLCD or even characteres. Now i'm trying to write strings with a font labrary which is not as simple as drawing some dots or lines ^^.
And I'm wondering if a 128x64 GLCD is not too small for a car, is a 240x128 wouldn't be better ? Or maybe too big ?

[uetian04]

You can use mikroC standalone. As you are using MPLAB for your projects in C language so I think compiler changing should not be any difficulty . I can send you file for mikroC if you need.
GLCD size selection depends signal number and it's criticality.
If all signal are not important to View in big font, then you can display important data in big font size and less important in smaller font.
I didn't know if 240x124 is easily available or it's would be too costly.
I had helped some one to work on 240x 64 GLCD and it was available for around 3000 RS.

Best of luck for success in your project

Well, my program is almost done by now, but it would be so nice of you if you could show me your time and date program, I don't know where to start with this part :(, and do I have to add something to the PIC in order to remember the date and time when I'm shuting down the system ?

Yes sure!

There are two options to keep date /time keeping setting when the system is shutdown.
1- Apply the power from battery of car directly to system. This power can be ORed with acc power for this purpose. You will have to turn OFF all loads of gadget for minimum power use when system turned OFF.
2- Use real time clock IC (RTC) along with 3V button cell. This IC keeps time independently from the system and is highly accurate You need to interfere RTC with your system through I2C /SPI

salam bro first of all iam very pleased nd surprised from ur work MA SHA ALLAH u have a true talent bro may ALLAH gv more success.bro i want to ask u if u can make ths multimeter for suzuki baleno with efi engine?only 1 thng i was curious about no offense though but hw mch these readngs on ur multimeter are correct nd accurate?w8ng for reply

Bro what details you want.? Much already written in the thread.

[mwm749]

Aoa,

nice DIY. Had you used LED panel instead of the LCD then it could have made a very nice HUD (heads up display)

I've used LCD...

Dear great work,
I want it for my santro club gv2006. Please tell me about price.
