README 

ALDL Dashboard for RPi systems
------------------------------

Latest code can be found at:

   http://git.shaftnet.org/cgit/users/pizza/public/aldl_pi.git

This interfaces with General Motor's ancient 160 baud "Pin E" ALDL protocol
to create a virtual dashboard capable of displaying any data that the 
ECU reports.  It is intended to be used with a Raspberry Pi's composite
video output, and collects its data using one of the RPi's GPIOs.

  For more information on the 160 baud ALDL protocol, see:

    http://www.techedge.com.au/vehicle/aldl160/160serial.htm

  More modern "Pin M" 8192 ALDL systems are not supported!  For those, see 
  the LinuxALDL project instead:  

    http://git.shaftnet.org/cgit/users/pizza/public/linuxaldl.git

The dashboard rendering, data acquiition, and ALDL protocol handling
are modular, so this code should be easily extendible to other vehicles
and computing platforms.

Requires the wiringPi, SDL2, and SDL2_ttf libraries.

Currently only supports the A179 datastream, used by, among others, 
1992-1995 C/K trucks with manual transmissions.

NOTE:  Physical interfacing of the vehicle to the RPi is beyond the
scope of this README.  Do not blame me if you blow up your RPi or the
ECU on your vehicle!

This software was written to meet my own needs, but I'm releasing it under
the GNU GPLv3 in the hopes that others will find it useful.  I'd appreciate
an email if that's the case!
