Looking for a slightly larger Display Module? Look Here For The Solution

Hi,
That looks ace to me Rob, will it run on a full size pc?
Cheers,

Its written for Microsoft Windows Mobile Version so it will only run on a PC using an emulator.
They got it running on some extremely cheap PDAs

Hi,
I've already got a PC running in the car, so I'll have to give the emulator a go!

Here's a link to Windows Mobile 5 Emulator: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=EEC33AE3-C129-4C25-ABAA-18E8E842178F&displaylang=en

No idea how it all works though.

little bump but what screens are people using at the minute?

that ms one that was linked looks good- have we got something similar now?

Hi,
Sprocket is using the large LCD.
There's the PDA setup.
I'll be using Megatune on a dash mounted 12" TFT 
Cheers,

Bigger LCD together with non-geek mode is a very cheap dash candidate. I plan this kind of solution for my racecar. Could use some 10,4 inch XGA LCD display with docked small laptop if we get TunerStudio that supports VEMS though.

[rob@vems.co.uk]

They're doing the Round gauges as displays now (without the Wideband and EGT electronics) which use the AiM protocol to display the values from the VEMS ecu.

[PeepPaadam]

Yeah, I know that but I'd like to have MXL dash alike thing. PDAcockpit is the closest thing to that, but big LCD display with non-geek mode is much better as it doesn't require additional computer in the car.

Hi,
I've seen nice displays that run on can bus. I can't find any info as to weather they got the can bus running on VEMs.
The pins are on the board, but no conclusion on the wiki....

Rob - this is very interesting. I have recently completed development on a Windows CE touch screen product for security/automation, and want to gauge interest in using it for a dash / tuning handset. Are the guys who did the PDA software interested in sharing it to develop it further?
I am keen to get a prototype working, and then if people like it I can provide the VEMS community with a source of these touch screens?

its a 5.7" VGA touch screen, 12VDC powered so easy to hook up

Hi guys

I think that the Wince would be a great solution because there is many cheep Lcd´s on the marked also I have testing some Navigations 7” multimedia units and it could be great if we have all functions in one unit like radio, navi, dvd, phone, and Vems.

A guy I Denmark has made an application in Windows visual studio (c#) for Ms phone and pda using communication via blue tooth add some pictures.

That looks really great too Peter. I am about to start on my own application but if someone is interested in collaborating it should yield a better result for all?

[rob@vems.co.uk]

I can't commit to anything but I have some C++ and C# code that provides a data model for the MegaTune protocol

[DButters]

You have been PM'ed regarding code Rob, did you receive it?
