I can't find any cluster display software.

Saucy · 02-12-2008, 07:22 PM

What i've been looking for is a program to display gauges (boost, volt, etc) from the ECU sensors via tactrix cable to a pc.

Not the generic ones with openecu/enginuity.. but the nice looking display.. I'm not sure if it was HKS who made it?..

ANY help or tips or anything appreciated.

I've been searching, looking, asking.. going in circles.

Thanks
Sauced

I went on a search a few weeks back and almost all are not compatible with a tactrix cable

Only one actually workswith the Tactrix OpenPort cable, and that is JDash (link HERE. It is free and is skinable, but it is a little buggy - but the dev (Shane) is keen and does answer posts on the JDash forums

JDash default skin (showing different gauges that can be used):

The best looking I could find, and one that had the best skins available was DashCommand from Palmer Performance (link HERE) or their full odb-II scanning program PCMSCAN (link HERE), which included DashCommand. It is skinable too but it is not free and it wont work with a Tactrix cable.

This is what the default cluster of gauges in DashCommand look like:

You will need an ELM type OBD-II interface for DashCommand to work (approx $US100).

np mate. Just remember that almost all cluster (virtual dash) programs use ELM based OBD-II interfaces and not the Tactrix OpenPort cable.

My suggestion, if you already have a Tactrix cable, would be to give JDash a go. It is free and very customisable, so it will cost you nothing but your spare time to set it up to like however you want it to look

Also, go to the JDash forums and Shane will be able to guide you if you get stuck trying to make a custom cluster

Lastly, I know there is ongoing work to improve the RomRaider Logger. Perhaps visit the RomRaider forums and make some suggestions and the Logger devs might implement them
