A while back I posted a project I was working on - a small controller that connects to five sensors: Wideband O2, Boost, Oil pressure, Temp and Voltage, transmits the data to a phone or tablet via Bluetooth and displays an analog and digital gauge. I’ve finished beta testing the units locally and I’m ready to get them out in the wild. I’m selling the controller and pigtail for $35, the app is free. I would love to hear what the r3v community thinks of the project.
What you need:
1. An Android phone*. Install the free app from the Play Store: App Link
2. A controller/pigtail: Available from my site for $35: www.chariotgauge.com
*Currently porting the app to iOS - will be available for iPhone 4s and up in a few months – Let me know if you’re interested.
How it works:
The controller comes with a Motorola MPX4250AP 2.5 bar MAP sensor (this is the same sensor that comes with MegaSquirt) on board that only needs a vacuum source to work - it is preconfigured in the app. The other four sensors are connected directly to the controller via the pigtail and are configurable for just about any intended sensor type. The install guide shows which wire connects to which sensor (found Here). When the controller is turned on you simply tap “Connect” in the app and scan/select the controller from the list of devices.
Here’s a rundown for installing the other four sensors and configuring them in the app: Wideband O2: preconfigured for gasoline wideband O2 with an AFR range of 7.22 - 22.39 but can be configured for many other fuel types and toggled for lambda or AFR. Oil pressure: preconfigured for an oil pressure sender showing 0-80psi but can be configured for almost any sender/sensor. Temperature: preconfigured for an open or closed element GM style sensor but will work with any thermistor type. The volt meter can be connected to any voltage between 0v and 25v.

Here’s a crappy video of it in action (I’m working on a better version..):
What you get for $35
Out of the box you get a 2.5bar (~21psi) boost/vacuum gauge ready to go. Connect the controller to a switched 12v source and a vacuum source and you’re set. You can stop here or connect the other four sensors as needed once you start expanding. I'd love to hear feedback on ordering through my site, fulfillment, and feedback on the project itself. Anyone willing to give it a try?
