"non geek" mode for the LCD
« on: September 03, 2007, 12:27:25 pm »
I know I'm in the minority here, but is there a chance I could have a "non-geek" mode coded up for the LCD?   

There's only a few things I really need to know about on a daily basis, (and I hardly ever use the PS2 & LCD tuning options) so what I would like is an option for an uncluttered display of just RPM, MAP, TPS lambda, EGT & spark advance.

PocketPC thing looks good.  But I'd still like somthing simple that requires no extra boxes.

Mattias Sandgren has modified firmware in a way that it shows data that is understóod to mortals:

I've asked about this a few times... back when they supplied the 'firmware' with MT it would have been possible for other's to do this... but not anymore.  And from what I understand almost no one gets access to the FW files anymore.

I know that people that get standalones installed by others, and tuned by others don't care about all the garbage on the main page of the LCD.  A simple easy to read layout would be much better, much like Matthias' attempt.  Just I'd like to see AFR's instead of Lambda as almost everyone ask's me, what's a Lambda? lol

For myself I like the normal page of the LCD.

I don´t think people like to have to buy a PocketPC just to see what´s going on,

the picture of mattias screen is ideal and would suit most I think.

I don´t think RPM is needed as 99% of cars do have a tacho these days.
But CLT, EGT, AIT, Lambda / Afr, pressure (kpa, boost or whatever).

Excellent,
Looks great.

Would it not be cleaner though to have the first letter uppercase?
clt vs Clt, some already are and some not,
