someone wrote this little program but i can't find the program to down load.
can anyone write a program using VB and active x controls to make a display of gauges ( rpm , speedo , boost , etc etc ) to display on a 7" in car dash thingy i.e bright led gauges or l.e.d numerical display will be best to see on a small screen.
basically a pc with video out will be connected to the screen video input.
the data stream type is : http://dtaforum.psycode.com/viewtopic.php?t=121

this is the official dta realtime display , which ain't bad but you can't size the gauges or change colours/fonts etc etc so that is not going to be readable on a 7" screen.

 

if you could do this with it it would be passable ?
.

 

what's it worth?

i could do it, but have no time - sorry. good luck with it though

 

there could be a fee payable, a few of us want it so ????

 

wouldn't matter how much anyone was willing to pay lee, just haven't got time to devote to it

 

come on nick

 

if you click the link, you can download some files that i started working on before to connect my techedge wideband lambda and a 4 channel thermocouple and display as gauges. runs in VBA though (excel) not VB, but the principles are the same and could mostly be used in VB if you have it.
