Right. Then what?

For a start, all I want to do is change the existing boost gauge to a manifold pressure gauge. Has anyone done anything like this with success?

[jonbill]

yes, I've done it. it's a bit fiddly but easy enough once you get the hang of it.
heres a screenshot. I've selected the element I want to change,a text TPS gauge. I can select 'inputs and values' and choose a different source, e.g. MAP

Thanks. I'm making some progress, but it's pretty much all just trial and error, heavy on the error. It's a very powerful and versatile program, but unless you are an experienced software engineer it's more than just a bit intimidating. Sure would be nice if there was some detailed documentation. I'd have no problem paying for that if it would help me do what I want to do. Anyway, I'll keep plugging away at it.

Well, I was able to figure out how to do some basic changes, but now RD won't connect. Nothing has changed in settings. Makes no difference if I try the Engineer's Dream or default dash. It gets a bit frustrating.

Update:
Solved. I'm an idiot.
I have the wires to the BT module soldered to the underside of the Mega, no enclosure, so they are delicate and exposed. I'd been moving things around quite a bit to set it up on the simulator and the TX wire came unglued. Things seem to be working OK now.

It's just your turn to be the idiot. I got here by voluteering for that position many, many times.

Just another reminder that we are all only human. Bad design.

Anyway, I've done a small write up on what I've learned in the RealDash forum if anyone is interested.
