Developing a HSI bar for Prius-II

[alexmol]

Hi!

I'm currently developing a HSI bar for the second generation Prius.

I'm using an Arduino microcontroller, CAN-bus shield, ODB cable and a 2x16 serial LCD display.

Here's a video of the first stage of development, basicaly like a scangauge, where it reads gas-pedal, brake-pedal, rpm, battery current and cooling liquid temperature.

(sorry the video is in portuguese)

Right now I'm developing the graphic display of the HSI bar using the limited 8 custom caracters with 5x8 pixels each.

I'll post more details about the algorithms later.
Stay tuned!

Best Regards
Alexandre
