Miata NB Project, thoughts?
i'm currently working on a project for my miata nb and wanted to know what you guys think of it :)
please feel free to ask any questions about it in the comments and i'll try and answer everyone the best i can
and if anyone is interested in having it just write me a message and we can talk about it :)
it runs using an esp32 microcontroller that communicates with my android phone via an app i built that allows the user to do a bunch of different cool things, including recording g-force data to later export to an excel sheet, send google maps navigation data to the display so you have a small built in navi system in your car, and much more
i just really wanted an oem+ looking navi system in my car that is seamlessly integrated into the interior and i think i managed that pretty well with this, but at one point i went far beyond just the navi stuff and that's how it got all the features like tracking g-force data etc.
i just never really liked having janky phone mounts in my vents that can't hold the weight or stuff stuck to my windscreen, so this is what i came up with :)
can't wait to hear your opinions and critiques
(in the images you can see a few of the displays. the first image (hopefully reddit posts them in the same order that i am describing them) shows the standard buddy display and the second image is the idle version of buddy that appears if no movement has been detected for 10 seconds. then you got race buddy, g-force visualization, speed and finally the navi screen)
