I understand about 5% of what you are doing. But I still love it.

This is exactly what I need. My oldtimer has 5 round displays that I'm planning on upgrading, this seems like a great way to modernize it.

Your videos keeps getting better and better. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

You are very talented in explaining these complex stuff. I especially like that you give credit to the individuals when you use their solution. Like that reddit comment or the memory mapper. I hope you keep this attitude up 👏👏👏

This is amazing, definitely something i wanted to learn more about. Love the thought process on how to get the information and how to put everything together. Really appreciate it. Definitely going to try this

Very well explained with no steps skipped, and humble enough to show how to remove his logo. Nice job my friend. Subscribed!

This is great. I will definitely try this out, and connect it to my turbo preassure sensor on the car. Thank you so much. Your explanation is beyond perfect. Keep up the good work you are doing; Love from Norway

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you so much! As others have said it's pretty technical but I think I can get this to work for me because of your great video and detailed explanations. Your videos are the best videos about these gauges (or anything like them) than I've seen. I've been thinking about how to implement this for my project for the last few weeks and realized a few ways this could be taken to the next level, these ideas would be perfect for a followup video. 1. Make this gauge a little more dynamic - This is something that can be easily done with what you've already shown. By making it more dynamic I mean to edit the blue part of the sweep of the gauge different colors for different levels of readings. As the boost increases the color of the sweep changes to alert the driver in a secondary way in addition to the gauge needle location. For example make all the readings: A. From 0 to 15 remain blue (as shown in your video). B. From 15-25, everything changes but the blue part is now changed to yellow. C. From 25-40 it's now red. This way you notice a little more change out of the corner of your eye when the readings change. This could be easily done with the steps you've already shown by taking all the images as they are now for the 0-15 readings, then change the blue part to yellow and copy only the image files for the 15-25 readings, then change it to red and copy the rest of the readings before turning the images into the boost_gauge_images.h file. This could be taken further by having the entire background of the gauge change to red when indicating dangerous readings (such as a temperature that's too high, low fuel, etc) 2. Have a way to change the brightness of the display based on an external input. Take a signal from the vehicle's gauge cluster backlighting and use the voltage of that signal to change the brightness of the display for driving at night. The external input may be more difficult on a Toyota or other vehicles where the signal is inverted or controlled by the ground. 3. Have a clean (uncluttered), flat (minimal depth) way to power and mount this. You mentioned that this display could be powered through the pin headers on the back, but the pin headers are an uncommon size. For my project I need to mount 3 or 4 of these inside the existing gauge cluster of my vehicle without interfering with the other gauges. These little displays should work perfectly, as they will sit on top of my current factory gauge cluster. I'd like to see a video on making a custom PCB with pins that stick out that these displays can fit on to for power, signal and mounting. Then I can connect a harness to the edge of the custom PCB to supply all the power and signals for all the displays. The bonus is that if one display dies I can easily replace it or if I want to change where they are mounted I can easily swap their location. I'd only be able to rearrange them if the signals are sent to every display pin header location on the PCB (pin 4 is boost to every pin header, Exhaust temperature is pin 3 to each one, etc). Every place I can stick a display on the PCB will get all the input signals, the displays will be programmed individually so the boost gauge will only read the input signal from pin 4 and ignore the inputs on the other pins. On the edge of the board you would be able to provide a single place to connect every signal, the power, ground and brightness. So that the display is supported on both sides of the back, add pins for the other pin header for support, but the pins on the other side do not need to be connected to any circuits. If mounting in a vehicle, you could add the components needed to accept the 12volt to 15volt range of battery voltage and reduce that variable voltage down to a consistent 5volts to this PCB.

Wow! Excellent video - I learned so much and have been able to build my own custom gauges. Thank you!

This is a great video! I'd love to see more content involved with making gauge graphics and potentially something with larger screen animations and gauge combos. Amazing content dude!

Great Work!!! thank you for being so thorough and pretty much explaining everything.

Nice! Thx for sharing, I was looking for something like this for future projects.

most useful video I've seen on KZfaq this week !

Amazing 🤩. Thank you very much, this is what I was waiting for ❤😊.

bro you're goated, what awesome projects dude!

Thanks for sharing the work. This was on my list of things I had planned.

You my friend put out some incredible content! Thanks for sharing

I am a faithful follower of your videos. Very professional, with a high level of detail, with a lot of editing work. Extraordinary. I would like to propose a project to you after watching a very interesting video about the importance of sensing light in the early morning and late afternoon. Simulating it accurately seems like it can be beneficial and there doesn't seem to be anything on the market that does it correctly. Thank you so much. A cordial greeting from Spain.

I really like what you are doing here. Subbed. You had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it done, but the end result is worth it. It looks super cool. The only thing that concerns me is not really having a thorough data sheet on the screen. I live in a very hot climate and the interior of the car can get to 150F in the summer time, while the car is parked. I'd hate to invest a lot of time making custom gauges only to have them die in a few weeks. I had that happen to a dashcam I bought on ebay once. Still really impressive. Thank you for posting this. I look forward to future content.

When I saw this one pop up I was so excited. I bought a RP2040-Touch-LCD-1.28 from Amazon thinking it would be easy, but no it's not. So this video was going to help me get my project working... no as yours is an ESP32 not RP2040. So my learning and frustration continues. Yours looks awesome, as always a good video and always interesting to watch and learn from.

Another great video!

bro you are definitely underrated, you need more attention

i have no knowledge in editing or electronic. but this video is amazing! cheers from the philippines

That was a great video! Thanks

I think it looks great. I might have a cool idea for another project: Using the gyro and accelerometer of this display you might be able to make a G-Force meter / indicator.

This is SICK!!!

This is awesome! I love that you included the instructions at the end for making the images. I can understand and work with the code and hardware, but photo editing is a whole other animal I have no experience with. I only with they had a version that had the usb port out the back, or had a buck converter with a small JST connector on the back for cars. I also wonder if you can implement CAN libraries into this and feed it CAN messages rather than analog inputs...

Your videos are always so impressive and detailed! I'm constantly blown away by the quality. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a lean angle indicator for a motorcycle. Measuring the angle is a bit more complex compared to a car because, on a motorcycle, you get pushed to the outside while leaning, causing the angle to change. This requires more intricate math since the y-axis isn't always pointing straight down. Additionally, having something like an artificial horizon would be a great feature. Thank you so much!

Man, what a series of AMAZING videos! I already loved the gear indicator video, now I'll have to buy the parts and try to make the boost indicator. Your videos are very professional, very well explained in every detail. Here in Brazil we don't have a company like PCBWay, but I'll try to do my best here! Question: Is it possible to make gauges with oil pressure (just by changing the sensor), air/fuel mixture gauge, general temperatures, etc.? I'm just a programming enthusiast, I know that you have to adapt the code for each gauge.

Looks awesome

Good job Guy ;oP Always good ideas

Great work

Validigt bra!

Awesome man, let's see how many people will come to this video without the BMW M logo :))

Nice Video! Instead of making three separate gauges, you could also use the touch version of the display and make it change the mode by swiping left and right. The lack of input pins could be challenging tho.

one neat feature you might add is to hold the arrow at the peak value a bit and then let it fade on the display, like audio graphical equalizer displays do, the peak sometimes is more important than the filtered value

jesus christ thats a lot of work... very nice

Love that

Oooh, this will make a nice pump mod as well.

I've got a touchscreen rp2040 that I was trying to figure something out to do with. Just so happens it's not the same combination you have, dang it! Lol. I'll be watching along, thanks for the vids!

Wow, look up table for all the possible images and a function for calibrated gage since the output is linear. This is half a semester worth at a college level learning. Excellent job explaining the software side as well especially partitioning. I am wondering RP2040 with only 2MB could handle the look up table of the graphics. Volos uses sprites method which is very efficient in using the memory. Background image is fixed and only the moving image position is computed with a function.

this is a great project

Bro is doing God's work 🙏

jo upire, tvoje videjka su uplne perfektne. Mam pocit ze je to jednoduche...az ked sa do toho pustim vyskocia na mna ine problemy...ale super.

wow.. tu contenido es genial.. me suscribo a tu canal 😊

Thumbs up before seen the video 😅

I would like to design my design for this gauge, could you please make a tutorial on how you made the current design from scratch please. But amazing work! Keep it up!

Wow! Upir you are a druid!!

This is really cool. Can I request an oil pressure counter part? I would love to have a cheap gauge cluster all of these neat little oleds

Just when I think he 'can't get any cooler' you do this !! This display is awesome as is your implementation, I believe this is worth having as it's a full blown (I think) ESP Dev Board and can be used to introduce the ESP 32 to someone like me who is happy with AVR chips but thirsts for power !!! Call me old fashioned (or andy) but your techniques and ideas should be in a book, I love books and you are never gonna convince me that it isn't great to have a reference book by your side in these endeavours a quick glance at a chapter much nicer than searches or cheating by asking ChatGPT, not sure if that really is cheating but you know what I mean. Awesome work !...cheers.

I was wondering if you were able to make a multi-gauge that gets the information from the OBDII Diagnostics Port? For a example. I have a 2009 Mini Cooper R56 JCW. And it doesn't have any gauges for Boost, Oil Pressure, EGT, Engine Coolant etc. Great Informative video. Thanks for your time!

Wow. This is amazing just what im after for my car! Definitely too complex for me to figure out on my own. So i really appreciate this! Any plans for a oil pressure version? Hoping you shed some light on this with canbus input. I would pay for a "plugnplay/copypaste" version i can assemble myself together. Mainly with oil pressure, and oil temp :) Anyways. Thanks! For sharing this knowledge. Subbed

Mannn i recently saw just two videos and I'm wondering and worried about where the world is going... I mean you show more stuff that wh***s online and you just got so little subscribes ... Awesome project i want to do it in my car man. Very niceee.❤

I have had my eye on your channel for a long time. What an amazing channel you have. All innovative ideas and projects. Thank you for sharing. Now again, what an excellent idea. It gave me the idea to program a blood pressure monitor. However, the blood pressure monitor is measured in mmHg and should have a range in which this is measured, for example from 30 to 350 mmHg. The pressure measurements, if I understand you correctly, come from the measured voltage, but this range is unfortunately up to 5V. Do you have any suggestions on how I can achieve this? Thanks in advance for your response.

these look great, my mind is churning through lots of car related project this could be for. I do wonder how easy it is to get canbus data from your car. then you have a whole world of sensor data you'd be able to assign to the screen. Only thing i don't like about this display is the sidewards USB port, i feel like if it was facing upwards it mount a lot more flush into projects that want to keep that round asthetic

great!

Cool, looks great. Will you come in Croatia this year?

that touch screen would be cool to toggle between different units of measuer.

Is it possible to feed OBD CAN data into the device straight from the vehicle? If anyone could suggest an approach, that would be appreciated.

This is sick! Would love to make something like this to control my analog cluster to display my rpm and speed.

Great demo, so once you program the screen can you run it as a standalone unit just connected to a USB C power source, or does it need a PC as the backend to function ?

Make a video where you use them in the car! Would look awesome!

its a great effort to show us how it is done, but these days making a simple lcd screen do what we want shouldn't be this hard, the partition of the memory is just crazy stuff.....good work tho, Brett

I Love the STI Boost guage

ciao , gorgeous job indeed. may i ask you if is possible to use this sensor as DEPRESSURE readings? i need for carburetors depressure balancing. the range is 0 up to maximum -1 bar no more as recommendatoiun from the manufacturer is that carbs must be 0.2 bar difference between each others. thanks

Would you be able to use a display lets say from a samsung watch, and make it so the bezel can be used to cycle through different information? Would love a video on this!

Is it possible to make a menu on the touch gauge to change the parameters with this gauge and an Arduino? Obviously you would have had to program both sensors values ahead of time but does something like this have the ability to program it to where you do something like long touch the display and a menu pops up that you can scroll and select what type of map your gauge is reading from say like a 3 bar to 5 bar map sensor?

Amazing work man, sadly i dont know nothing about coding :(

Is the usb use a problem for using several of these as a full dashboard? Like tachometer, boost, oil pressure, fuel ect ect

Question: why are you storing pre determined positions instead of one background image and a needle image you can rotate and draw dynamically? I can understand this approach on complex drawings, but a simple needle and curved bar doesn't seem like it.

Really cool stuff. I have a question: How did you draw the animation? how can I do my own design? Thank you

I think in this case, it would make a lot more sense to simply overlay the needle and rotate with code, instead of a gazillion images also @file uploader...it's so trivial it was the first result for me, lol, there's at least 2 versions, even, one for older IDE and one for newer, and using it is also simple, just install the plugin (download & copy), and make a directory named "data", and put stuff in it, then [Ctrl/command] + [Shift] + [P] and the upload littlefs, if doing the more modern way, or the older way involves using a jar file installed as an arduino tool, also a data folder, and clicking a menu item instead, to upload and I've not verified either, since I don't have an esp32, but they should work

really really cool can you make please a video where you compare de rp2040 to the esp32s3 version?

Really cool, now if someone figures out a decent way to interface with Speeduino (dropbear) that'd be a match made in heaven

The only negative (slightly) comment that I have is that you are speaking about 10-15% faster than is "nice" for me (&, yes, I am a "native English speaker")... Also, hard to follow the selections on the monitor, maybe a bigger cursor might help? While I'm "picking away", the monitor resolution is a bit too high to see the tiny text...and... 🤗 Nice work! I'm already subscribed...

So fkn cool. What about instead of actually measuring boost using a sensor, connecting the ESP to a cars OBD2 port over bluetooth with a cheap dongle, then reading the boost value from there? would be very cool to be able to DIY a real world usable boost gauge this way!

I have a PolarFIS module hooked into the BCM on my passat diesel to display all this info on the stock display... but I really kinda want a true gauge

It's a very cool way to display the most important information, is there a way to collect this information under the hood, and then transfer to the thingy using the bluetooth or any other form of communication? passing a tube definitely isn't an option, I would like to collect few more stats and then display on the screen?

Is the boost gauge water proof? I can see me adding an ESP module with Wi-Fi to measure the PSI on my pool filter and have my home assistant warn me when it's detects a certain value.

I am trying to create a oil pressure gauge that reads from 0-150 psi. Not really a photoshop expert so it looks like yes, you can change colors of the smart objects, but how would you create new background files i.e. the tick marks? Would you be willing to create a few more example gauges so that we can focus more on modifying the code to suite the sensor output?

How would one handle a dual needle gauge? say both on same center axis, one sweeps on the left side and the other on the right side?

noice Video, wanna use the same LCD for my Project, where can i find it ?

If only it did not have a USB port that faced downward... With an autometer shaped gauge case this thing would be amazing.

Very nice but was wondering hw visible it would be in the sun. Do you have any experience with that?

wish they made some in more common gauge sizes like 50mm or 60mm

Is there a bigger version of this screen with good performance like this smaller one? I'd like one around 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter.

I'd love some5hing like this but for fuel or temperature gauges. 8 have a classic car I am restoring and the original gauges are shot and almost impossible to get.

Isn't it possible to create a .c array only for the background and the needle and skip ready made pictures. When you draw the picture, refresh the background and rotate the needle in the code according to the reading. Check for change in the reading if yes, refresh the screen etc. I'm a newbie with screens but i think this should be doable and will save a huge amount of program space.

hi me again, did you find maybe cheap case which is big enough for a battery? cheers

Make something for dde f12 they will love it they are the best in the community

very good work!! What do I need to do to use the screen with TFT

👏 👏 👏 👍👍👍

please do on M5stack Dial.. very beautiful.. please teach us by using M5stack Uiflow (easy to program display).....

can you make one where the powercable comes out the back?

Could you please show how to do a G-Meter with this screen?

Can you make a digital speedometer with esp32?

Hello my friend, I really like the things you do and I'm also trying to do it but I have a problem that I don't know how to do which is to count those fixed km on the speedometer, do you know? Make a video about it if you know.

Good afternoon, how do you like this idea, to make the same boost sensor, but only with a physical page switch button, for example, to make a page with an inflator, and when pressed, the ambient temperature, engine temperature, or intake temperature in front of the turbine is shown?

Now I can see my turbo lag full 4K!
