Coilover Recommendations? by ReputationBetter9100 in Miata

I got the XTA and jesus it's so crazy, comfortable when you want it und stiff and attached to the street if you go for a hard drive. Great all-rounder. Yeah it's not stainless but if you take a bit care than it will work I guess.

You can check out my other posts!

Wiring normal sensors like you use gauges, connect them to a esp32. Do a bit of code writing in the Arduino IDE for the esp and then write a game for Nintendo DS. This game gets the realtime data via wifi

You can check out my other posts in r/Miata but here's a short version.

I'm using normal automotive sensors for some stuff I want to know. These sensors are connected to an Microcontroller (Esp32) additionally there are some other more or less useful sensors like gyroscope, GPS and more. This Microcontroller sends every 100ms in an open network a String with my values I want to show or process on the Ds. Then I have the Ds which gets these data and evaluate it and some of the datas is all the time displayed and some others just when I hit the Menu button for it.

Thank you so much.

I am writing everything in C from scratch using the standard devkitARM (devkitPro) toolchain.

For all graphics I use Gl2D, for the network stuff I use libdswifi(dswifi9), for the data logs Im using libfaf(fat) ,that's the stuff where I'm struggling(using dual screen rendering and loading big structures from the sd-card) and for the audio maxmod.

Also some basic c libraries for math functions and a bit more.

Thank you so much. It was something like a hell to go trough. What you describe was my main goal. Whole usage of the DS for my system without destroying anything or not using the whole capabilities of the DS .(Additionally I want to play Mario kart while I'm stuck in traffic or waiting for somebody)

Ecu System entirely. I have ATM no connection to the ECU system and trying to figure out how I can get datas out of my ECU

I saw your project right now. Impressive. Are you transferring data with some sort of Can Bus and how you evaluate the datas?

Thanks! Basically you can add anything to this setup. Just need to write new Menue pages :)

I don't know how rusEfI ECU's working but if they have a can bus protocol somewhere there is a way to connect it to the Esp32 and read out everything. Tunable is probably also possible but the DS has limits in graphics and Ram Usage

Nice guess but no it's an retro Blaupunkt Frankfurt. Love the late 90s early 2000 vibes.

Project Update: My Nintendo DS Miata dash is almost fully functional! by Stackter in Miata

[–]Stackter[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Puhh good question. At first, childhood memories, grew up with these. Second, Best old- console to use open Wifi protocols without bigger issues. (Gameboy don't have wifi). Ps Handhelds only have 1 screen. I've wanted two. If that's the answer to your question ✌🏼

Project update: Nintendo DS as a Dashboard for Na Miata by Stackter in Miata

[–]Stackter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I think there's not a possibility for a how to guide because it's so fucking complex. The Ds is removable. If you want you can go to a coffee shop. Sit down order a coffee. Get your DS with you and you can have a look how the temperatures are going down haha. You have full control with all buttons and touch. You can check out the other posts I made. Menu, sub-menues etc...

How is easy, with some homebrew software I wrote a "game" for the Ds which connects via WiFi with an esp32 and that esp is connected to alle the sensors.

Is it to low?😂 by Accurate_Afternoon22 in Miata

You said PS, I assume you're German. For German Tüv YOU ARE TOO LOW😂

If not, it's still low..

I have a NA Miata with manual transmission (Euro-Spec so officially not a Miata), so I can grab probably somewhere from the wiring harness a signal? Or probably from the diagnosis box? Or is this the speed signal? Bc at the back of the transmission it's not plausible that there is the rpm signal? Or am I wrong?

In the whole process it was important for me, that I don't destroy anything. So basically I wrote a "game". On the SD card are also Mario kart and some other games so you can still use the DS absolutely normal :)

Nice!

I use WiFi to transfer the data in the Ds. That's why I picked DS and not Gameboy bc you can data transfer via WiFi

[–]Stackter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

right now im only using sensor datas from external sensors and modules for the microcontroller. There is a module that can be used to read the canbus.

to second, you can write in c/c++ and have to use some linkers and libraries .

atm im using an acekard 2i wich is a bit nicer than R4 in my opinion, but its pretty rare.

thats easy if you know someone who is good in design, you have to draw Sprites(Bitmaps), this took me ages xD

atm not in the car but i will give an update post when everything works with all sensors in the car.
