PI receiving CAN messages with candump can0, but dash values not changing

[thewormhole5]

I can see the CAN messages coming in on the terminal. but the values on the dash do not show anything other than --?

did you select the appropriate interface/mode in the settings window (cog icon in the top right corner of the vehicle page) ?

[thewormhole5]

i had it set to can0 and unloader and server was slid to on. my car has an aftermarket computer, ecu master emu black. the openDSH was showing --. i changed my ECU setting "canbus dashboard" from none to user defined and it started to work. thank you for responding, means a lot. now to figure out how to change the mph/kmh to AFR.

[rsjudka]

not sure on your desire to work in c++ but this would be where you'd want to manipulate the speed gauge https://github.com/openDsh/dash/blob/develop/src/app/pages/vehicle.cpp#L367

and then adding a command/decoder/conversion to extract the AFR here https://github.com/openDsh/dash/tree/develop/include/obd https://github.com/openDsh/dash/blob/develop/src/obd

the goal is eventually to have each gauge be customizable but going to take some rework to get there :)

[thewormhole5]

this project is so cool. thank you for making this project and your help.

[thewormhole5]

im trying to change the "mph" to "afr". but changing line 367 does not change the on screen.

[rsjudka]

did you rebuild dash after making that change? going into .../dash/build and then running make?

[thewormhole5]

yes. running Makefile brings this up. but it does not change the labels.

[thewormhole5]

I was able to figure out what needed to happen, open the Makefile mentioned the click Build at the top of Geany, then "Make". Thank you
