Arduino 6 or 8 channel EGT

I'm gonna start playing with Arduino making some sort of EGT display/datalogger. Looks like we need an EGT input shield. The probes put out very little voltage and don't act like a regular 5v sensor at all. Luckily there's EGT shields out there. Single channel Dual channel Four channel Eight channel

Seems as though the 8 channel can only do one every .125 seconds, so you can only read every sensor once a second on an 8 channel unit.

Ocean controls has one too:

https://oceancontrols.com.au/KTA-259.html

Looks neat but doesn't correct for non-linearity. That would have to be done with the code.

I'd like to start off with a simple multi line text display like this:

Standard LCD 20x4 + extras [white on blue] ID: 198 - $17.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique fun DIY electronics and kits

Then eventually move to touchscreen and logging.

I'm going to try and use a Mega ADK because it has USB host mode and hopefully enough timers to handle 8 channels and a display.

Think about including a dimmer function for the backlight on the lcd.

It is going to get very messy trying to separate a string of 8 probes worth of data to an lcd display. We are working on a color touch screen gauge unit that will data log currently as a side project. I get bored at home at night and I am a sucker for a good headache.

One thing I have learned is that using serial communications is very messy. It can definitely be done, but it gets more difficult when you are separating strings and managing float values and integers. All of which you will likely use since you need to use generic values, send them to a float, convert them to something meaningful, send them in a string, separate the string, make sure the string is ASCii, and then keep it all happy.

Again, it can be done, but you are managing ALOT of information with a project like this. That is the most difficult part. I have a color touch screen version working on the bench. EGT, Boost, Intake temp, and trans temp. We still need to map the values and verify the conversions are accurate, figure out if the display will live without much cooling, cnc a case out, and test the absolute chit out of it. Then we plan to launch it as a viable product.

Data logging is possibly years away for us currently. We can log a string of variables but we want a nice way to utilize the information on the computer side. Information isn't very useful unless you can apply it well. I could hire it out and have it working fairly quick but this is a challenging side project more for myself.

Be ready to pull your hair out alan. Again, this can be done, but doing it well will take a lot of coffee or maybe vodka. I would spend a while learning how the LCD works. That seems to be the most complicated part since it relies on serial communication. I spent a solid month of nights learning it. Everytime I thought I had it dikked I learned I didn't since some nuance would bite me in the azz when I would try to apply it a different way.

That's why I wanted to go with the simple character screen instead of lcd/touch screen.

The simple character screen lcd vs a touch version doesn't matter. They operate on exactly the same principles. You have to tell the LCD what that serial is telling it regardless. They are smart little things but they only know one language and they certainly don't know how to reason. Your code will be the interpreter. It has to know what the information is and where it goes. The only difference from one LCD to the next is the number of pixels that light up for the most part. The libraries help with the general display stuff but past that it is all up to your code.

And you're right cataloging isn't about storing data it's about being able to move and present that data easily.

What you are saying is accurate, but it is much much simpler to scroll the data on an LCD. I had my transmission controller programmed to walk "Amore to suck my nuts" across the screen at one point.

You don't need 4 digit resolution on all 8 channels. 2 digit for cylinders and 4 digits for one. If something scares you, read the serial out, or build a simple menu for full res. Grab a 4 button 4X20 for menu control.

Scrolling simple text and separating values received through serial to specific cells is a bit apples to oranges. I scrolled text on my lcd on day 1 of messing with it. There is a sample of how to scroll text in the liquid crystal library. Receiving data and separating the string to specific cells is much much more difficult.

I suppose I will have to find out, if I can make time. Be to be clear, I'm not saying specifically to try and scroll, I'm just saying there are ways to display the channels on that size lcd.
I haven't messed with my touch screen in almost two years. I don't think it would be terribly difficult to load a static image on a card and place the numerals in various positions for a nice look.

Also, using that shield over SPI is just one way to go about it. The values could be read directly, although I'm sure there is a reason why they are using the Amp, multiplexer and level shifter. It could be built without the multiplexer. I'm curious why it has the 1 second refresh rate.

Thanks for the info guys I really appreciate it. Still in the research and ordering phase. I plan on going deep around Christmas.

That ArduECU enclosure is a nice under hood option, and if they roll out with their plans, the options expand quite a bit.

Anyway, my plan is to buy one, plumb everything into the Mini DT connectors and then pipe info into the cabin via SPI or BT.

I'm not sure how well SPI and I2C play together on the same device. Zach might know.

SPI and I2C is essentially what we are talking about already. Most of the LCD screens on the market utilize I2C. This is why displaying multiple sensors of information is more difficult than it looks on the surface. I am by NO means an expert on this so take everything with a grain of salt. The multiple layers of conversions is what makes these projects difficult. Both integer conversions as well as language conversions are involved.

Arduino - Getting Started

For the creepers.

You can read from there about what Arduino is, how many flavors there are now.

Short synopsis, It is a micro-processor with a physical format and programming language that is geared toward new users. It typically is used as a stepping point for non-production oriented people to bring their ideas to life.
The best Idea I've seen yet is an arduino powered temperature based shower control to run their teenage daughter out of the shower before all of the hot water is gone.

Arduino requires software on your laptop called an IDE (Integrated Development Environment?)
This allows a human to write the code required for the microprocessor to do what you want it to do.
This code is called a Sketch.
Code:
/*
  Blink

  Turns an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.

  Most Arduinos have an on-board LED you can control. On the UNO, MEGA and ZERO
  it is attached to digital pin 13, on MKR1000 on pin 6. LED_BUILTIN is set to
  the correct LED pin independent of which board is used.
  If you want to know what pin the on-board LED is connected to on your Arduino
  model, check the Technical Specs of your board at:
  https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Products

  modified 8 May 2014
  by Scott Fitzgerald
  modified 2 Sep 2016
  by Arturo Guadalupi
  modified 8 Sep 2016
  by Colby Newman

  This example code is in the public domain.

  http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink
*/

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}
The above example is a basic cornerstone of the Arduino. The boards have LED's built in. You are simply telling one of them to flash ON/OFF (Voltage HIGH, Voltage LOW)

You can Youtube for days. Check out the shift lights and speeduino in particular.

The thing to keep in mind here, you aren't typically going to be able to beat the fit, finish and quality of an existing product that does what you are trying to do. That means one of two things, either you are trying to add features that those products don't offer, or you are mentally deficient.

I'm going to go out on a limb and lump us into the latter half.
