Alistair Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Possibly a silly question, have brought a nextbook tablet to connect while I fine tune a couple issues..have downloaded pc link and that's all sorted I can't work out how to display the inputs as I'd like? As like in photo from nz wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 You can configure the look of PCLink however you like, but doing it on a tablet could be tricky. One solution would be to design your layout on a laptop/PC, save the layout file (Layout > Save Layout File As..) and then email it to the tablet and then open it in PCLink on the tablet.When it comes to actual design of the layout, you can add new pages by clicking Layout > New Page. You can add a gauge wherever you want one by right clicking in some available space and then selecting the gauge type you want.

Alistair Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks I was having a play then discovered the new page piece...will fire up the old laptop as your right.hard on tablet. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRambo Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I have done this with my Toshiba tablet, ended up buying a bluetooth keyboard trackpad, as the pclink software isn't too finger friendly. It is finger friendly enough to turn on/off logging The only other issue is the glare that you will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sweet that's what I was thinking..I have a normal guage set up for most things, just a couple of things to fine tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRambo Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I like the warning that it does to the gauge box when it reaches your warning setting like IAT and ECT. I also run a view to see when the fan switches on.I haven't found anything for speedo correction though, so my plan is to build the jay car kit one and correct it on the Link.

joemobile Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I have been building a Subaru powered street roadster for a couple years.Installed a windows 7 Samsung tablet in dash and have driven a little using the dash as can be set up through PC LinkNow doing speedo and fuel level--I assume the equation setting ability will allow me to set speed.The other inputs are OK. The warnings seem to work---only trouble I had was getting gages to give warning below and above an area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophy Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Setting speed is easy, enter your gear ratios in the Gear Ratio Table (Not straight from your transmission gear chart) There are decent instructions in the help.I used a GPS to determine my cars correct speed, then adjusted the parameters till the ECU was reading my real road speed. Works great.. This also works well to show what gear you are in on your dash. Edited May 30, 2016 by trophy Ted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRambo Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yep I found in the Di for vehicle speed it has calibration number and you just tweak it up or down against a known speedo just as a gps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragartist Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I would love to see what people have managed to display on a tablet (and how) from their LINK ECU. Planning on doing exactly this soon, but any examples would be excellent.cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsterbishi Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 This thread has caught my interest, I've been looking at Windows tablets out there but only a few have full size USB ports, and many charge from the USB port as well which makes long term use challenging - Are there any well priced tablets out there that fit the bill?

WhiteAfrikanz Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Check out the Winbook TW series tablets, they are under $200 and come with a full size USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannerboy Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Can anyone recommend a dual USB Windows tablet to achieve this? Preferably with at least one full size USB slot.i can't find any suppliers of the Winbook TW series of tablets (in the UK). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
