Thread: Seeking images of your DashDaq screens

  1. #1

    Default Seeking images of your DashDaq screens

    I have been reading old posts about the DashDaq because I'm considering getting one so I can monitor things that I miss from the dash on our other hybrids. SO I thought I'd ask owners of DashDaqs to post some images of the screens they have setup with explanations of why you find this particular info useful and/or a major enhancement to performance or range etc.

    In our classic 2001 Honda Insight, we had a very elegant LCD dash that showed BATTERY level with 20 bars and CHRG/ASSIST (energy in/out of the battery. I found this gauge to be very useful. The 8 bar battery gauge on the Volt is pretty useless IMHO.

    (The UP/Down arrows indicate suggested shifts for the manual stick transmission)

    In the 2006 Escape Hybrid I have a very similar CHARGE/ASSIST charmingly old-school mechanical gauge:

    Also, since my Esape did not come with the LCD center console I use the Scan GaugeII to get battery SOC down to .1% resolution and that is very useful info!

    Can some of the experienced DashDaq users chime in and tell me if there is a nice way to display the equivalent of these 2 gauges? That will tip me over to spending the money on the DD. Thanks in advance!

    I know its not exactly what was asked.. I figured this would be a reasonable place to post some examples of my "torque" display
    I cannot measure that much, (just SOC, but that was what I most wanted and after getting that I did not work hard at it).



    The upper left two are SOC instant and as a graph over the past 10 seconds. Speed is pretty obvious.
    Bottom left is outsidetemp and them coolant temp (useful for the dreaded ERDTLT) them RPM and HP

    The bottom right is stuff I use infrequently, GPS bearing, a time-stopped timer , Pedal position and average trip speed.

    This is using a OBDII ($25) and older Android (Nexus) I had lying around. I have other screens with stuff for when on ICE (bigger RPM, fuel usage.. standard engine stuff).

    Here is the phone and OBDI adapter.. and the Adapter installed.

    Default Sooo geeky!

    Wow! And I thought I was a geek! I can barely understand what all these screens are displaying! Would you guys like to walk the rest of us semi-geeks through what data you find most valuable from a performance and efficiency standpoint? And can eplantz explain what your gauges are showing in plain English?
