Small display for data

[Mustang5L5]

What’s exists for Megasquirt in terms of small informational screens? I don’t want a digital dash or a tablet mounted anywhere. I enjoy running my stock guage cluster and a stockish interior, but would be nice to see some of the data from MS like coolant temp and such.

I have this in my Explorer. I can cycle through various PIDs to see coolant and boost. It’s small and fits in my vent. Holley has a small screeen as well. So what is there for MS?

I'm guessing you already know, but the dakota digital fox replica cluster can display MS info (assuming your model is on the list).
Eventually i will buy the dakota, it just seems so hard to part with $1600 for something i really don't drive much. Then again, that's how much i hate extra aftermarket gauges in a fox. There is just no way to mount them where they truly look like they belong (an issue you may have with a digital display).

I am using a canchecked mfd15 in my MR2 as I wanted to keep analog gauges, but it allowed me to have one digital gauge that can show anything I want, has a very good progressive shift light too.

I am using it with hondata but it does also work for MS.

They also have other models/screens if you want something bigger. They are highly customizable.

That’s exactly that I’ve been looking for. Now to see how I would hook that up to my MS setup

Dug around a bit on it. Older product and not a lot of info. Still able to be purchased but any questions on hookup and config on the MS3 go unanswered.

Found some other gauges that may also work. I'm trying to avoid any sort of dash. I want to keep my factory gauges.

I actually like the GuageArt one better so far, but the banks one can be linked.

The gauge art and canchecked are similar, but the canchecked you can customize colors/backgrounds and has the shift light which is a big plus for me.

The banks is using screen space for buttons which I don't care for personally, I have a remote scroll knob on my can checked gauge so I can scroll the pages it has without having to unbelt. (can barely see it next to key)

The canchecked can also be setup to flash the shift light if any parameters get out of spec, so handy if your on track and want a visual warning of say engine temp getting too high or drop in fuel pressure etc.

You can see the progressive shift light in action here if you want an idea what it looks like.

Thanks. I'll have to look into the canchecked one a bit more.

That looks like a blast on track.
