I had to dig mine out, but you're right. I do not remember where I got the jumper to terminate bus idea. Anyway like you said they are cheap, just as easy to buy another one.

I used that board no problem, I know this is mentioned before, but the jumper is to terminate (or not) the CAN bus. Anyway have you tried to contact the seller? Maybe swap it out?

I Googled his description and found this.

Definitely looks suspicious...

Now I know what test I will do with my new 3.6 :)

OK, no problem.

Now that two CAN ports are available would it be possible to take CAN information in on one port (say the proprietary CAN info from the Megasquirt) and output CAN using another...

Paul, at the moment I have a Microsquirt automotive controller that speaks a proprietary CAN protocol. I'd be more than happy to loan it to you for however long you need.

Here are links to info on...

Just became a backer! Can't wait, I love that the 3.6 has two CAN inputs :)

Not to be a fanboy, but this add on is pretty nice for the Nextion https://www.itead.cc/nextion-expansion-board.html Maybe it's just me, but I am not a fan of touch screens in an automotive...

Manu, you're from the MSExtra forum right? If so I understand your context. Pull data via CAN from a Megasquirt and then display it to use as a dashboard correct?

I did some searching, but I am still a little unclear.

I have recently built a project that runs a single Nextion display over a serial conenction on my Teensy 3.2. All the Nextion discussion...

Just an update, there's a new version of the Nextion editor available. Haven't really messed with it yet, but I do not see anything groundbreaking.

Heh, boy there's fodder for a discussion :)

Anyway, I did see on their Indigogo campaign the promise of other OS support. No idea when though.

Some more goofing around, this time with real data via CAN from the Megasquirt. Also playing around with multiple pages and the touch buttons. Just downloaded stock image files for some of the...

That's very cool!

Getting used to the Nextion editor and playing around with displaying some data. The display is very nice, the editor needs help. But with a little fiddling you can get stuff done.

Here's a quick...

So you're not powering it off the USB? Can you post pictures of your setup?

Thanks! I'll keep you posted. I am going to stream CAN data to it from a Megasquirt fuel injection system. I had the little TFT from Paul working (with help from great folk's here), but it is a bit...

OK, well if one ever piques your interest I'd be more than happy to order one and ship it to you. Part a token of appreciation and part my own selfish interests :)

Haha that was too easy, I must have had my wires crossed when I tried Serial2 :) Anyway thank you so much! Also Paul I'd be willing to send you a Nextion display if you have any interest in them...

Thank you, yes I looked at that and thought I was OK using pins 0 and 1. But I wasn't sure if there was more to it.

Sorry, you bet. I downloaded the 7.0 stable release.

Thanks!

Hi all, I just received a Nextion 3.2" display. I have it connected up to my Teensy 3.2 to pins 0 and 1. Nextion Tx --> Teensy Rx pin 0 and Nextion Rx --> Teensy Tx pin 1.

I get no communication...

This is awesome, after working with displaying the CAN data in the other thread I had been wondering; could I swap to another "page" of data with a button press?

I think I am going to give one of their smaller less expensive displays a try. They do have an Arduino library posted https://github.com/itead/ITEADLIB_Arduino_Nextion

I did a search and didn't really come up with much, have you guys had any luck with these displays and a Teensy?

I'd like to use it as a CAN enabled automotive digital dash connected to a Teensy...

I definitely have been learning, that's for sure! OK, I'll have a look at that suggestion.

@defragster, I owe you many beers or your beverage of choice. I am raising my White Hawk IPA to you now :)

Works awesome! https://youtu.be/NWIU7iMkxlc

I didn't video it, but I am also working...

Thanks for the suggestion, and you're right for some types of data it makes sense to display in that format, especially for at a glance type stuff. But for others the value is what you're looking...

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it, now I just need to get home to test.

EDIT: OK, looking through the sketch now it makes sense what I was doing wrong and what you originally meant. The...

I really appreciate your help on this.

I am getting the following errors with this sketch.
...

Thank you both! It makes such obvious sense to move the data labels to setup.

@defragster, I follow along with what you are saying, but the last two items have me confused code-wise. For example,...

I must be making a rookie mistake somewhere, but I am unable to find it. Here is the sketch I have created, basically the way I formatted the data I am simply re-drawing the rightmost part of the...

I also meant to ask, an LED display would not have this issue correct?

OK, wow on both counts :)

Gorgeous car!

Here's what it looks like so far with a 150ms delay.

https://youtu.be/EME9iuKZJFQ

OK thank you, this display is not the final one I'd like to use, but I wanted something inexpensive to test and learn with. A delay of 150ms looks to be the "smoothest" I can make it. When I do get...

Thank you, I noticed all that does is isolate the flicker to the area specified. Is that simply a limitation of the LCD panel?

On edit: I introduced a small delay off 500ms, that combined with...

Working on a small project that is outputting data to a ILI9341 display from Paul wired per the instructions. The data is updating pretty fast (reading it off CAN bus @500k). The screen does not seem...

Everything working good! Thanks again!

Good deal, what vehicle are you running the Microsquirt on?

My setup is a 95 Lightning with MS3/3x running the engine and Microsquirt for the trans (E4OD). It's all apart though for a major...

Also I found that transceiver on Amazon! It's a couple bucks more, but I can get it tomorrow!!!

Yeah, I'm dumb :) When I saw Teensy had CAN support I thought that meant it could go straight on the CAN bus. I should have known it could not because Teensy has TX and RX and no CANH and CANL,...

I thought the 3.2 Teensy only needed the Microsquirt as the transceiver? Also I do not have a 120 ohm resistor, would I simply run it between CANH and CANL on my breadboard?

Also did you get any...

So I have been messing around with this some more. It seems as if either;

1. My Microsquirt is only broadcasting one type of message ID, the base ID and nothing more. <---- I really doubt this as...

Thank you!

Hi Mark, it is a cased Microsquirt V3 running 3.4.1beta1, although James posted that this is labeled as "This is now released as "3.4.1 release""

Yes, I have tried several different combinations,...
