MS2 + Nextion LCD TFT HMI Display = dashboard

If you're going to suggest other platforms, you might want to have a look at this: http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM1 ... 8/PF262395 ( you can also search for STM32F469I-DISCO on Digikey and Mouser). That's quite cheap and has a lot of features including 2 CAN buses.

I use a STM32F429 discovery for all my CANBUS stuff, sniffing, hacking, development, etc.
I actually use that for stuff I do for my teensy, because the LCD display makes debugging easier (even though CAN1 shares pins with the LCD data lines, they can be used at the same time).

my Nextion display came in today. havent gotten much done on it yet due to spending way too much time trying to get 2 different arduino libs to work with it (and ending up just using raw commands).
Its quite easy to get something going pretty quickly. experimentation so far shows that things can flicker pretty badly if updated more than 10 times a second or so.
right now i'm just using some demo code on a teensy.

Man, I need to stay away from this forum

But this thread really intrigues me. I was looking at a Teensy 3.2 from PJRC https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy32_pins.html. Along with one of the displays from Nextion mentioned initially($14.00 2.4")

I have an uninstalled Microsquirt V3 flashed with the trans code and a TransStim that I need to assemble. So I could use it as the CAN transceiver and the Teensyduino software has the FLexCAN library https://github.com/teachop/FlexCAN_Library so that's basically everything needed to output data to the display from the Megasquirt via the Teensy correct?

Obviously code would have to written, but from a hardware perspective that's pretty much it right?

Pulled the trigger on a Teensy 3.2 and the 2.8" touchscreen from PJRC. Figured that'd be easier for a noob to work with.

And then I ordered a Nextion 3.4" display Hopefully it gets sent out before the Chinese New Year.
