I've written a program to work with my Harrison R&D OBD II scanner. It's a virtual dashboard with most of the information available from the ECU. Here's a screen shot:

This was captured with the engine running in the driveway. If anybody wants the code, just let me know.

Whoa.. now THAT is VERY COOL!!! I've thought about doing that myself. Its nice to see someone actually carry it out and make it work!

Coming from someone who is New Car Service manager for a local dealer that is definitely a neat setup. Did you write the program so the "gauges" can change based on what info you want to display? Or is it just the ones you thought would be most important? One you might want to look at down the road for on-road diagnosis is the O2 cross counts. The O2 cross counts shows the mixture of the vehicle in question. Really neat setup Xterrian, I'm impressed!

That's all the real time continuous information that the Xterra will give to a Harrison R&D scanner except for O2 sensor voltages. I could also get fuel trim info, but I wasn't that interested in that info while tooling around. The gauges are static, I may make them changeable in the future. I'm querying the ECU constantly to get this amount of info and it runs kind of jerky at the moment. I plan on toning it down by asking the ECU for info that doesn't change often less times per cycle than the info that is more fluid. I'll post the code if you guys want it.

If you buy a Harrison R&D scanner and mention my name to Dan, I'll create an executable file for you.

I just thought I'd add that my favorite feature of my program is that the display numbers in the center of the gauges turn red when a critical value is displayed. It catches the eye nicely and makes it so you don't have to read all the numbers, just look for red.
