CAN displays

Post by Shaf1926 »

I'm currently working with a grayhill CAN display. It's good but expensive. Got me wondering

What CAN displays are people using?
How have you found working with them?
How easy are they to set up?
How expensive?

something i haven't tried but have downloaded is an app called RealDash, you can design your own dashboard, displays or interface (a lot of customisation) and have it read it all out with can, obd etc. in theory it looks pretty good

im planning on using that with an old samsung tablet

From what I can tell that is an app that reads off an OBD port. It can display standard signals from a conventional powertrain as define by the OBD 2 standard.

I'm guessing most people are not making obd 2 compliant systems for their self builds.

Is no one using an after market CAN display?
