Is it possible to display any kind of information on the gauges? - Lukas97 - 08-13-2020
Hi,
I was wondering if it may be possible to display data on the gauges which is not provided directly by OBD?
Let's say I have an aftermarket oil temperature sensor that I am able to read from.
Could I store the data somewhere on the Pi and tell a gauge to grab its information from there?

Yes, you could theoretically emulate the ELM327 device. This project might be useful for your needs https://github.com/Ircama/ELM327-emulator

Hi , I also have a smilar question, Can i use OBD II to show the Fuel Capacity and the Mileage ( KM/Lit) and also the KMs to go on the existing fuel capacity in the tank. I think this is what i would need in my car as it an old HONDA CITY and doesnt have these features.

OpenAuto Pro 11 will provide more advanced definition of custom gauges. However you still have to know the formula how to calculate desired values.

Hi its me again,
I'm not really able to get the ELM327-Emulator to work.
Will there possibly be a way to set the gauge values directly in the future? Kinda the way it is currently possible with the outdoor temperature through a txt-file?

I would like to know that to. Because my car is to old and has no OBDII Port. It would be nice if you could show any kind of sensor through GPIO.

Soon we will release OpenAuto Pro with the API that covers injecting value of OBD-II formulas defined in config. That will allow users to implement gathering and displaying data from any source (without establishing OBD-II connection).
The API will also allow querying OpenAuto Pro for current value of the gauges defined in config.
