You are speaking an incredibly different language than I (or most people) understand. Can you start over and list how to do this - step by step - so that the non technical types can follow this. Thanks. Looks pretty cool.

So I created a couple of custom sensors and added them to a new display, here it is http://www.flickr.com/photos/peter_diffey/6904571017/ Of course I will need to write some code to run on the Arduino interface board and buy a couple of sensors. Torque pro Android App is about £2.95 The Arduino boards is £21.90, the bluetooth module is £9.90 Famous last words it looks a doddle Pete On 19/02/12 15:29, Peter Diffey wrote: > Hi, > > Dave is spot on, it's easy to write stuff to interface with the internal > sensors, the only problem is those sensors are pretty low spec, and vary > between different devices. > > To interface with engine and environment sensors is the hard bit, I have > recently been doing some stuff with an Arduino micro board which can > interface with up to 40 sensors and has Bluetooth connectivity, the idea is > to have the arduino yodelling data to the paired bt device like a bt GPS > does.
