At the moment to keep the user interface simple, it is just short press and long press. A short press on any screen brings you to the next screen. A long press on any screen other than the DTC ones brings you into clock set mode. In the DTC screens a long press brings you to the dialog for clearing the DTCs.

For configuration of colors, displayed/hidden screen choices, etc., I plan on implementing them through the optional USB PC interface.

It will have the option of switching between metric and imperial units. The first units will be the clock replacement ones, but I will also offer a standalone unit with a case as well as a one which will replace one of the center AC vents for those that want it integrated on sedans or liftbacks that already have a tach.

I don't have a definite time period yet for when these will be shipping. I still have to figure out packaging for the standalone one, but it will probably be in a case about 10cm wide x 5cm high x 3cm thick. The stand alone one will be able to take advantage of the entire display where the integrated one is only able to use about 1/3 of the height of the display. With the cost of the OLED display, the cost will be in the $150 range.

Not yet, as I haven't started programming for that yet.

I just bought a Scangauge from Garm, since I couldn't wait.
Now, when this one comes out, I can always either sell the Scangauge or
keep it as a reference/useage for my friends.

Now all you need to do is make it work with a fuel management system and have it display read outs for it.

SWEET!!!

CT, good luck and I believe this is going to make you immortal around here, for sure:D
