Ok, all the boilerplate code is done.
I have some testing to do and possibly some smart watch extensions before it's ready.
In the meantime I added a nice Driving Layout, showing every engine sensor, that you can glance at [when stopped and in neutral and with the handbrake on of course
]
Just pure, on-screen, analogue, realtime sensor feedback to complement the noise and feel
Best wishes

This is looking very nice but I have a very small observation.I have some testing to do and possibly some smart watch extensions before it's ready.

It would perhaps be better with RPM as the main gauge with road speed of to the side somewhere. Reason is that on a TVR the 14CUX only sees a simulated speed (from memory 0 or 55mph) so the ECU knows simply if the car is moving or not. It uses this info to set the idle speed.
If you now say the speed is GPS based then is there somewhere, I have not spotted, an indication of the speed signal the ECU is seeing as this is quite important in diagnosing certain faults.

Only applies to TVRs that have a T5 gearbox and the speed signal box, in most cases. The ECU sees a normal speed signal when an LT77 is fitted. Maybe speed readout is a useful select On/Off for display option Steve
Nice looking interface but will the app be freeware with a make a donation option, or will it cost?

Good points there.
The layout of dials and gauges is completely freeform – i.e. you can move and resize (and add or delete) the dials yourself and create a custom layout. Which you can save and share with others (the layout file will have a “.rs-rv8” extension).
So if you would like to swap the RPM and MPH gauge positions you can.. Or if you would like to create a totally new layout, with your personal preferences, you can as well – there is a “Reset Layout” menu option in case you make a mistake and want to return to default. Plus, as long as you save your custom layout you can easily switch between them.
There is a GPS speedometer and an ECU Speedometer – I will add a “GPS” or “ECU” label to the dial so that you can tell the difference (oops!)
HTH!
