DIY Mini-Dash LCD Gauges Update

Well... I went down another rabbit hole and spent the morning reading up on Real Dash and looking at example code. It looks to be very flexible as everything can be defined by XML files. Nice!

To get the 350/370 OBD live data options (about 40+ depending on year) is very easy, to add the CAN bus data into the Real Dash app doesn't look too difficult.

However, I have more research to do to understand how I can add in the analog sensors (pressure & temp) from the bluetooth sensor server. There are a few options that I will look into, but it isn't a high priority for right now.

I was about to suggest that for you Real Dash with your MX+ would give you just about everything you may want (except for oil pressure) BUT all the Real Dash layouts are horizontal and your tablet is vertical. Too bad
