 Glass cockpitIs there an app/software that anyone knows about for engine management for an iPad?
Doesn't have to be iPad - they just are off the shelf type hardware and an option. Similar to a glass cockpit for GA is what I'm looking for..... Since I'm about to rewire the entire rig - just thought about it.

Re: Glass cockpit I don't know of any apps specifically except for Torque, but that can be a little laggy. I don't consider it real-time.
I've looked at these units and similar from Amazon, Flea-bay, etc.  They require OBDII to interface. There is also the Trail Tech units. While designed for MCs, they could be easily adapted to a truck   Are you looking for an easy way to get gauges or are you really gunning for a glass-cockpit arrangement? _________________ Cummins R2.8 diesel, ZF5, AtlasII, HP44/BB9, ARBs, coiled / linked suspension, 37" KO2s, full cage, bumpers, etc. Build Thread: Average 23.5 mpg, Best tank: 25.1 mpg |

Re: Glass cockpit Thinking about a glass cockpit. I like the trending information you can get from them.
But since this is a old school Bronco - carb, NP435..I think I'll go with analog style gauges and do a glass cockpit in another Bronco thats got modern stuff..auto trans, EFI, etc... I may do a engine management system like this as an example: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/av ... 830jpi.php _________________ 1969 Ford Bronco with: 351W, Q-Jet, ARB front locker, 3" Suspension lift, NP435 transmission, 33" Goodyear's, roll cage, body rough. |

Re: Glass cockpit Easiest and cheapest is probably Torque. But it requires OBD2 and can be slow to update, like approx 1 second refresh rate depending on how many items you log. Which is good enough for everything but Tach.
