Found these while pricing up a kit to build another MS http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/lcdash-digital-touchscreen-dash-display-megasquirt-p-167.html
Has anyone used one etc. If they work out around Half price from dollars then offset against a AFR gauge they look good especially if they get the datalogging working.
Any thoughts appreciated as i am still a rookie at this game:D
If you want an AFR guage the cheapest is to buy a 0-2V voltmeter and shift the decimal point. Just set the output of an LC-1 to 1-2:10:20. They are about $25 Aus on ebay and mount very neatly in the car.
The LCD displays are very nice though!!

hey mate this is interesting as i borrowed my mates lc-1 and couldnt take it for a drive cause of my dead laptop battery but i had a quick look at changing the output settings so i take it you change to AFR mode then 1 volt = AFR 10, 2 volts = AFR 20 ? just questioning as when i ran it it didn't need the decimal point moved , i'm using a normal testing voltmeter rather than the ebay ones
cheers
Moving the decimal is required to make it read right. For example, 10:1 will read 1.00 on the voltmeter. If you shift the decimal you get 10.0.
Its not required but is nicer IMO.

yes mine already reads like 10.00 so i thought i must of put the wrong figures for the output.. cheers for that anyway
