Custom EvoScan Gauges

I'm running a carputer in my car in a custom double-din install I did and will be running EvoScan full time to be gauges. So far this is what the install looks like, and below that is my first go at a set of custom gauges that will be running in it (inspired by the Lexus LFA tach/speedo:

If I was inclined enough to do a custom gauge template this is the one I'd base mine off of.

First, yes, I'll post up the XML's when I'm done. Secondly, what car is that gauge cluster from? After I spent a few hours with DashDAQ and figured out how to import images this morning the dash above should actually be no problem. It would take a while but it can be done.

Its the cluster from the Koenigsegg Agera. I look forward to you sharing your work, thanks.

I think I'm getting the hang of creating these. I was able to create a temp gauge in the shape of a thermometer in about 10min, then add it to my current dash. I put two of them in, one on each side, one for intake temp and one for coolant temp...

Are you using DashDAQ gauges with EvoScan?

Yup, just using DashDAQ and EvoScan to make my gauges, and GIMP to make the images to inlay into the Gauge Clusters. Here's where I am at now, on the left is coolant temp and the right is intake temp (haven't done the labels yet):

DashDAQ templates are compatible with EvoScan? Can they be loaded from the EvoScan menus?

I'm sorry, I am mistaken. It's not DashDAQ, it's Dundas Gauge for .NET (the one EvoScan comes built with).

Knock was there, but hidden...I'm still working on more to add to this without cluttering up the display and thinking about changing the Boost/AFR display to look like the Ford Fusion side gauges.

Things I still want to do:

1. Add shift light
2. Add alt-map indicator
3. Change Boost/AFR to look like Ford Fusion side gauges
4. Possibly change coolant/intake temps to be like the Fusion gauges too
