Session by Session
1
Display Fundamentals
Learn TFT screen basics: resolution, color, and graphics programming. Set up Arduino with display library.
2
Gauge Design
Design custom gauge layouts: circular dials, bar graphs, and digital readouts. Create visual elements and animations.
3
Data Integration
Connect to CAN bus or OBD-II. Write code to read vehicle data: RPM, speed, temperature, pressure.
4
Real-Time Display
Implement real-time data rendering. Update gauges smoothly. Handle data refresh rates and buffering.
5
Customization & Theming
Create multiple display themes: day/night modes, color schemes, and gauge configurations.
6
Integration & Testing
Install in vehicle or test bench. Calibrate readings. Fine-tune display performance and responsiveness.
7
Advanced Features
Add peak hold, warning indicators, and data logging. Explore additional sensors and custom parameters.
8
Final Assembly
Complete enclosure and mounting. Final testing and calibration. Take home your custom gauge cluster.
