I vote for doing similar to Toyota!

For graph:  go to 100 and when higher just read 100.

For text: go to 255 and when over just read 255.

I agree with this.
---- would be fine with me when coasting/EV mode


A couple other thoughts/suggestions for future updates Norm...
1)For batter SOC could you have the numbers turn Green when the SOC exceeds ~70% and Red when below 40%?
2)For fuel tank % could you have it turn RED at ~10 or 12%?

the color change is a great idea... or have the number blink in unison with the last pip?... ok maybe thats a bit too elaborate

as I don't care about US gallons could you just do the read out in L per hundred Km a lot less calculating for the code and as I know colours are a lot of code space of which there isn't a lot left I doubt that it's a realistic request. Use the code space remaining for other paramaters when they are found. IE: MG temps etc.

I agree, save the code space but I'd like to see the MPG up to 100.

OK, I just replaced the CAN code at the bottom of downloads ( http://www.hybridinterfaces.ca/downloads.html) with CCfeb126.hex (if you've done the Cv and the CI you only need the CC code)

MPG on the graph now is scaled at 100 full scale, numbers at 255 (+255 if over)
On a leisurely Sunday drive that had the graph roughly half way up most of the time so it seems more useful to me.

But it can always be changed.....

Using this display for the average percentage SOC when the colors are changed at each level it seems that my 70% number for SOC would be good for when it turns red, to turn green though 50% is probably a better number.

Is this right? If so there is a mix up on your web page. There the new code is Ci not
CC!

CI is dated Feb 12
CV and CC Feb 9

You are quite right; I've swapped them to read correctly as of 8pm PST.

While I am at it, the color coding of all graphs is something I will work towards, but
it has to be done in a generic fashion so I don't have to write new code for every graph.
Something like call every graph with a fixed set of thresholds andmatching colors to use when exceeding those thresholds. It will happen eventually.

I wasn't even thinking of the graphs (I don't use them to be honest...I've tried and just can't get anything helpful out of them for my needs). I was just thinking about the text numbers changing color at the thresholds I gave above. Is that complicated too?

BTW, I have a Voltage graph that might be useful for determining the color change thresholds.

As requested, I've added a table at the bottom of http://www.hybridinterfaces.ca/disppars.html
listing basic CAN packet IDs and data byte positions for basic CAN-view user parameters.
Additional parameters may be calculated from combinations of these.
