Looking for some help with a project I’m working on. Willing to pay once finished. I need digital dashboard themes made to include complete digital dashboards, as well as separate gauges matching the theme, analog, digital, text based, and bar gauges etc. I don’t mind bits and pieces taken from a few cars, but really looking for something with an up to date look, that is unique.
PM me for more info and specifications.
like this?
While not graphic design, if you need 3d modeling let me know. I can do that stuff in SW.
I like where this is going…
Contact my buddy shane. I’ll get you his contact info.
that will be badass once its finished.
good luck and post pics when you have prototype
I’m shane, shoot me a message. Hopfully I can lend a hand.
Solid username my friend! :bowdown
PM sent.
those are sick gauges
http://vems.hu/android/ just for some more info ideas.
Yeah I included a few pics of that setup for shane but I’m looking for something a little more up to date, those kind of look like they were made on a dos machine.
Lol. VEMS in general is very dated looking. It just replicates the VEMSTune software. Modern will be cool though however would look out of place in a car like the 200. That’s what themes are for I suppose.
I didn’t want to get too far into the details until I completed the hardware side of things and made sure it was possible. The hardware is complete, I’ve got clean communication between AEM EMS and iOS via Bluetooth. Right now I haven’t setup much of any graphical interface but I have bare text with a bar style gauge working.
I’m going to create a digital dashboard environment, as well as multiple gauge interfaces for AEM users. The displays will be customizable and capable of displaying all 19 channels simultaneously(The max number of channels the AEM outputs.) Gauge styles will include analog, bar, text, as well as graph gauges. Ipad users will likely just use a standard pre-made digital dashboard that shows all pertinent information. As well as being capable of creating custom interfaces. Iphone users with the smaller real estate will likely use 2 analog gauges, combined with 2-4 bar/graph style or text style gauges, but again can be customized to show 10-16+ gauges.
I’m going to create an easy to use interface. Swipe left/right on an specific gauge to change the channel, swipe up and down to change the style from analog to bar to graph. Touch and hold to move, edit channel options, etc…
When you add a gauge to the interface you will be able to set up, min and max values, IE 0 and 7500rpm which will be the range of the gauges, as well as yellow and red “zones”. IE 7000 for yellow, and 7300 for red, and I’m thinking the whole gauge will turn yellow and red when entering these zones. Again something like this could easily be user configured. Warnings will be a separate setting see below. My hardware supports triggers that could be sent to the ECU but these features will likely be added to future models.
The app will include many additional features, some of the advanced ones may not be available right at release but hopefully shortly after these include:
-Datalogging - Save the data to be viewed later, even on multiple devices, IE record on iphone analyze on ipad for easier viewing.
-Warnings - Set custom warning limits for each gauge that will trigger a main warning light with the channel that triggered it. Even if the gauge that trigger it is not active on the screen, the warning will set. If it is showing on the screen I could have it flash/change color as well.
-Remote Datastream - In addition to personal ios devices, I hope to be able to stream the data to a server to have the datastream viewed live. Excellent use for remote tuning. The tuner will be able to see the data live and recommend changes etc.
-Remote Data+Video - Far into the future perhaps live streaming videos with the engine telemetry embedded in the video as well as G forces, and GPS. The possibilities are vast with even the features built into these iOS devices.
I’m open to more ideas/features. I hope to include as many features as possible but even some which may seem simple can often times be a huge task programatically. Once I get a few prototypes with an application I’m happy with I’m sure I’ll be seeking a few testers.
Just getting started here but just trying to create a good base for versatility. Right now I have a basic bar gauge. Swipe left and right to switch between channels, pinch to resize larger or smaller, touch and hold and you can move them. Warnings are setup, the ECT shows a soft warning, and Engine Load is showing the higher level danger warning. The values of these warnings are adjustable, as well as the colors the warnings show. There is also a main warning system that will show for gauges that are not on screen.
It took me about 4 hours to get the equation just right for the bar gauge curve FML. Follows it properly when resized. The white border around the Engine Load gauge shows when the gauge is moveable or being resized.
This has the potential to be really awesome! Keep it up!
Just some testing with randomly generated data. I added a couple gauge styles an analog, and graph style gauge. I’m going to improve the display of course, these are the bare minimum to get the hardware tested. Looks a bit fuzzy in the video but the display is crystal clear.
Just a few notes no the gauges, each one has its own user defined “window” meaning if the user wants their rpm gauge to read 0-8000rpm it will do that, anything above or below will just show the max/min values. You can see in the video several displays showing no movement or sitting at the extremes this is because the numbers being generated are out of the user’s bounds and intended.
