MES Gauges

Post by sanscorp » 05 Jan 2013, 18:47

Is there (an easy way) to get gauges in MES?
I have a carputer and would like to select parameters and show them as gauges while driving.

If there is a way to extract live data, could you help me out a bit?
I'm no programmer but some simple stuff shouldn't be a problem with some help, right?
I can design some gauges if that is the problem (takes a lot of time) but can't help out with the coding.

Any reaction would be appreciated: If you don't want to do this then I at least know.

again, telling me it ain't happening is also a reaction, better then just waiting hearing nothing ;)

Of course it can be done but, as a pure diagnose software, I guess it is not on the list of future update.
I mean, gauges are fancy stuff, nothing else. :)

I can suggest to use different software as you might view Speed/RPM/Temperatures/Pressure and all of those parameters that are accessible by any generic obd software.
Some programs are great for that and customizable.

That's the problem, my car (Alfa Romeo 156) is from 2002, doesn't support OBDII (or EOBD).
Fancy programs like touchscan or dashcommander don't work at all.

They just display rubbish info like coolant temp. of 200 degree celcius and an RPM of 200 instead of 900


Can't get it to work with other software, tried many programs with an OBDII cable (that does work in combination with MES) and it's hopeless.
Fancy or not, it could be a lot easier to read dials instead of numbers..

I know everything can be done, but gauges seem relative simple to me because all you need is a bit of code that uses existing parameters in MES.

Got it,
I thought for a more recent car :)

Will see, it's not a bad idea by the way :)

Are you a user or superuser that can makes decisions? :p
