Battery temp and other high precision gauges!

[Dan.]

I know I've been posting like crazy on this stuff, but man, I've been hoping someone would get this working for a long time. So please excuse the excess traffic.

OK... I'm pretty much done with my XGauge hacking for the time being. What I've managed to piece together is pretty neat. I've attached my latest drop.

1. SOC and BTA on the same gauge!
2. Speedometer with a decimal point precision.
3. A gas gauge with 4 times the precision of the "guess gauge"
4. Realtime RPM (no half second delay on the SG refresh).
5. Coolant temp with half-degree precision.
6. Gas pedal position indicator (0-100% depressed).
7. Brake Pedal position indication (0-100%).
8. HV pack temperature gauge.
9. An "ON/OFF" gauge to know if the EV button is "ON or OFF"

I'm hoping someone else can pick up the torch and find MG1-rpm, MG2-rpm, and inverter temp.

Dan this might be beneath you to answer, but I have a scan gauge now but have no idea how to program these nice gauges in? Be there a reference somewhere?

You want to look up XGauge editing on page 25 of the user manual. It is on page 27 of the pdf.

Kudos.

Glad my earlier thread was slightly useful

Very much so. Thanks for all the ground breaking.

This is great work and deserves a bump. Thanks so much Dan and others!

Now could someone figure out why I can no longer get anything for "tank--to empty"?

I used to get a reading and now it just bounces back to "current". I have e-mailed the SG people 3 times with no response.

Certain "Active" gauges can't be used at the same time. Try changing the other 3 gauges to something else.

I suggest liberal use of "reset factory defaults". On the way home yesterday, my "CURRENT" mpg registered a 52, where I'm normally in the 80's. I suspected one of the passive gauges so I cleared them all before heading into work this morning. Well about 3 miles in, I've got current mpg up and I watch it drop (over one-second) from 78 to 27. The 27 stuck and the glide worked that number back up to 50 by the end of the glide. So I then did a factory reset and everything cleared up ok. I've slowly started adding gauges back and all looks well.

I suggest that you play around with the gauges until you get a "proven" set. Once you have that, clear them all and perform a factory reset. The after a few miles on a "clean gauge" add the "proven" ones back.

I'll let you know if I get any other random drops in MPG. This is why I always check my SG numbers against my FCD.

I have pushed every frickin' button there is and reset it several times. It also lost most of the colors after it's "upgrade"

Since my year of service is coming to a close, I am going to try and send it back.
