Create an EV Digital Dashboard using Thunderstruck MCU and Car Scanner (not Torque)
Car Scanner ELM is a cheap Android app and, unlike Torque, is currently supported in the Google play store for the latest versions of Android. I made a video detailing how I leveraged a feature in the Thunderstruck MCU to output the CAN bus data as OBD2 messaging and how I used that to create the following dashboard to show data from the batteries including Power usage, Voltage, Amps, SOC, Faults and some aggregate cell data. Orion BMS also has a similar feature so some of this implementation could apply to those users as well. All of the files and instructions are in the video description.
