Doc & Andrew - Great work!

Chad - If you're gonna get back into it, I'd like one for my bird :D

So, whats the easiest way to make a custom dashboard? I want to whip one up for my truck as the generic ones dont really work well as the LL8 doesnt have a bunch of the inputs.

Really the hardest part for me is finding a background. I mean if you have all the parameters lined up for a particular task that is really the easy part and you could just throw charts at it and be done with it but hey you got to give that little kid in the lane next to you something really cool to look at instead of some hum drum chart. I have gotten the biggest responses with Chad's Dash pages up which inspired me to step up.

Thanks for keeping this alive. I was getting worried. I didn't want to bump/pump it. If you need help with setting up pids/parameters to work out solutions, well by all means come into this thread too! I'll be more than willing to share/help out with what I can-and be ready to accept constructive critical responses as well.

Thanks for stopping by and keeping this thread alive.

Chad inspired me as well, that and EFILive actually adding this capability back then. I had a pretty cool dash just using the standard gauges, but this is another level.

Like Doc says you need to start with a background where you have made space particularly for a gauge/graph. On mine I wrote down the PIDs/data that I wanted and tried to catagorise it into sections. Then you go about adding and customising the gauges where they are supposed to go. It's not a 5 minute job, but is worth it - I've used mine for well over a year now :)

I can host them if people want to... Probably best to ZIP them up and try and have a nice structure with perhaps a PID file as well?

Hey Doc; Guess who? Remember what we were talking about at work? Here's one of the links. Not sure if this could be fit into a "dashboard" per se.

I just made a new one last night. What can I say, this thread inspired me :)

I really like this one actually. Now my old custom dash looks very high intensity.

Anyway, here is a pic :)

That is one great looking Dashboard !
To bad they did not include it in EFILive as a selectable Dashboard option .

Man, I love this product/board/community. Just when I thought I was bummed that the weather turned out of nowhere at the track today, I remembered that alot of folks have their rides hold up for the winter and I chilled thinking about how amazing it is to live in Florida. With that thought, Andrew, pm me with your email addy to send the compressed files I have... I am not afraid to share/be critisized.

Here's my page, fooled around a little bit today! Snapped a picture of my 2002 Sierra Denali Cluster and went from there. It's a work in progress!

So, where/who would be willing to host a site with these AWESOME dashboards???? Holdencrazy would make sense, or the EFI Live website in the downloads section. Just my .02.

This is great. I'm nowhere near where you guys are, but I have spent hours on end playing with dashpages. It's helped me understand how the logged PID data interacts with the displays in the dashpages. I made a few hybrids with a column of gauges on the left, a row of text values across the top and charts occupying the rest of the screen. In the end, it probably isn't the best use of screen space, but it sure taught me more about using the software.

Now if I can just learn what all this stuff means:Eyecrazy:

These are great looking. I'll be willing to host some dashboards over on DieselHaulin.com if you would like me to.
