hi any "working knowledge" known about the MPUs one of which I shall vote for? jock...
... The general low-volume of discussion of MPU options seems to indicate that not many of us have much working knowledge of these specific chips, although...
Team, we are now in the process of voting on the MCU choice for the mini-scanner. Since this is one of the most important decisions we will be making, I want...
In a couple of days, we will have decided on the MCU for our application. The next thing we will need to figure out is the display to be used. The display is...
Ken, hi Are there any constraints on size, other than price? A humble prospective purchaser and user might be tempted to say, "the bigger the better" at least ...
... Here is my input on the display choice: Not only is the display the largest cost single item, it is physically the largest too and will strongly influence...
I will be brief as I would assume this has been brought up before or would cost more Could you use the display already in the car like the following does ...
... As an expected miniscanner user, both for my own edification and as part of the CalCars' PRIUS+ pluggable Prius project, I'd like to throw in a thought or...
All, My two cents, regarding displays and by extension the whole software development effort. I think the important thing is defining the API, even in C if...
I HIGHLY recommend graphics over character. This leaves open the possibility of programming different displays for the user - some might prefer a round gauge...
... This sounds useful, but I find it hard to imagine a clear API that could make sense of such extreme hardware variations as graphic vs character based API....
The following Prius_Miniscanner_MarkIII poll is now closed. Here are the final results: POLL QUESTION: Please vote on your MPU choice for this project. We...

We have accomplished another milestone in the quest for creating a mini-scanner - deciding on the MCU. The winner was the Atmel AVR with 80% of the vote, with...
[Ken] Thank you Graham and everyone for sharing your experiences and ideas on the display. [Ken] It is clear that the graphics display would make a much more ...
About the graphics display and programming it... : The application I wrote and runs under Linux is writing to the frame buffer, which means : - I take care of...
... Ken and everyone, Graphics displays have controllers with various capabilities. At the low end, the MCU has to supply all the pixels to the controller as...
Well, it is obviously summertime, since everyone is very busy. I myself have had vacations out of town, and a release going out at work, so I haven't had as...
Just a thought, bare with me... as we discussed before : We might need a hybrid solution here; having both the CAN and the OBD2 in the miniscanner. The CAN...
At Ron Gremban's suggestion, you'll be pleased to know that we've decided our budget for our conversion project should include as an item a contribution to the...
Our mini-scanner group has now grown much larger than I ever expected it would. I would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to participate. This...
Hello, I guess since today is the day I pick up my Prius ('04) I should stop lurking and introduce myself. My name is John, I am an electrical eng from...
Hi All, I am back online here in this group. I have a CAN Scanner coming in tomorrow and will want to participate in the CAN ID hunt & peck. What I find I will...
... getting ... Since nobody else has said anything, let me take a stab. First, why do you think the CAN bus does not provide the OBDII parameters and code...
Oh how I wish it were the new THHT; I can't wait any longer for that beast to come out. What I am getting is called a Dyno-Scan, I am getting the A-300 model,...
... Attila hasn't responded, so I'll try to give an answer. ... Maybe we don't think the CAN bus doesn't provide this stuff. But, to find out, we'd have to...
Gentlemen, ... Sorry, I was in LA on a conference... ... Thanks Graham, as an "open-minded" engineer, that's what I was saying in the past as well. However,...
