upir! Your way of covering EVERY step in these video tutorials is perfect. The tempo is perfect and every viewer imaginable question you cover. Great work again, thanks from Sweden again.
This channel is so underrated... thank you so much for this! I have an AE86 and they had a digital cluster that was an option in japan and it would be cool to bring that back but in a more updated way.
Your videos are some of the best in my book! Easy to follow and cover the required details. Hope to implement the concept in my van project, thank you. Keep them coming!
I love these projects and videos! Very well explained and alsways related to a special usecase. There are a lot of different usecases as well - for example race cars or restomods. In combination with a relay board and the arduino this is a very powerful solution. Thanks for scripting, filming and posting all these videos! 🙌😉👍
Upir! You are the best tutorial youtuber ever and the best thing is you leave everyone sk other people replicate/modify what you do for their needs and shame on anyone that passes off yours or anyone else's work as their own
Thank you for your very nice comment, I appreciate your nice words! That said, I cannot stop other people from using my work without attribution, so there is no point in fighting this.
Your projects are outstanding and the videos are trudeln great… I think I really need to try one, but it will probably be a round extra gauge anyway - chapeau for your work !!!
For those that dont want to pay Nexiton display prices but want one of these then look at the Elecrow series, it uses the same LVGL backend and opensource system.
Just a small correction - the Nextion display does not use LBGL backend. Other than that, yes, Elecrow displays are surely a good choice, but the learning curve would be most likely more steep.
Oh i forgot, i spotted there was something offset with the X&Y, thought it was not 16:9 would never guessed "not square pixels", learned again from upir, thanks.
When I have rewatched the video, it actually seems that the 5" display is stretched. Again, this is hard to see with this design, but it was driving me crazy with standard round gauges.

@@upir_upirClassic Mk2, 1987. In theory, couldn’t you make multiple versions of the cluster and cycle through them with an invisible button? Like making a classic gauge, this digital version, a MK3 style, etc and cycle through them with an if statement?
Really nice video. I always like to watch your projects, because they are really easy to understand even though they are advanced ones! Regarding those two Nextion displays: Would you be able to create a short video, where you show/discuss the screen visibility/readibility on sunlight and slight shade? I would appreciate that, as I am planning to DIY a motorcycle dash with datalogger for my track bike. Kind of stuck on display selection, microcontroler and programing platform at the moment (Nextion + anything, IPS panel + RPI, IPS panel + ESP + LVGL or TFT_eSPI, etc).
Thank you! The Nextion displays are definitely not good for outdoor usage, the brightness is too low. I would suggest looking for DWIN displays, those have brightness up to 1000nits, and should be a great fit for your project. I have one video using this display already.
Perfect, what car are you planning to mount this into? Nextion displays are not slow because of the instructions. They are slow because the used CPU is underpowered for such a big display.
@upir_upir '87 Scirocco that I 1.8T swapped. Plan on using OBD2 for most of the instrumentation, save fuel level, oil press and oil temp. I'm going to try to combine digifiz and the new ford gt graphics, similar layouts, at an attempt for a modern digifiz. There was a video and an article Neil Gardner wrote a while back about his Nextion display in a car he built. Something to do with how they handle graphic updates from the SD card. Anyway, very cool project and great job on the graphics, you nailed it.
So it seems I have entered a rabbit hole... This video was suggested while researching a Pi based "digital" display for my Mk1, I have '81 which was converted to mp9 (I'm based in South Africa) and I already know I can read some of the values from OBD directly using VCDS (RPM, Temp and maybe a few others), so looking at this I'm already curious and have a few questions at the same time (which depends I guess on the car this is applied to) 1. How do we get the other data not available through OBD? i.e. Speed, turn signals, petrol gauge (none of these are sent to the ECU in my understanding) 1.1. I can see it working on data available over OBD but can't wrap my head around how you would parse normal "analog" data to Arduino? (Curious on which car the next video is based on and how you overcome this) 2. You mostly use intelligent screens (which makes sense as some of the processing is done at screen level), can the same be adopted to a normal screen output from Pi? (I ask this as its kinda expensive to ship/buy these monitors where I am based, even through Ali) 2.1. How do you parse data from normal switches (turn signals e.g.) to Arduino then to screen if it was based on normal Pi? (I have a Pi already hence this question) The Digifiz itself is a rabbit hole as it’s not clear what is needed, and yes very rare (even worse here in SA) so very limited info on them (I haven't done this so stand to be corrected) but based on how one would retro fit perhaps then I could get pointers. I’m genuinely looking forward to the next vid and how it all comes together +1 Sub Earned
Welcome to the rabbit hole! You can get Arduino signals reading the pin state, but be aware that you have to convert it down to 5V if it´s higher voltage, like 12V. You should be definitely able to use Raspberry PI, it will be fast enough, but the boot time will be much longer compared to intelligent screens - those boot in 1 second, but PI needs 10-20 seconds, depending on the configuration. Good luck with your project, hopefully some of my other videos will answer your other questions.
@ Thanks for the reply, I have been glued to your channel since I discovered it and have learned a lot, thank you for taking time to explain the process. Good luck with all the other projects will keep following to learn more
Nonsquare pixels? EDIT: Yep called it. Easy enough to account for, just use anamorphic graphics. Adjust the width of the actual graphics accordingly to account for the non square pixel ratio.
Cool, you are a one of a very few that were able to spot the problem. Scaling graphics is not a big issue, but scaling fonts is not very simple, and that´s a problem.
Having tried both displays. As someone who only knows a basic amount of electronics. I found the nextion display had a more polished software and an easier to get something working, but the colour of the display to be terrible, on the other hand the dwin display look very nice and seem to update very quickly, but the software is not the best and is lacking on memory (3Mb of 16Mb just for a font file). There are hints that the memory can be upgraded but absolutely 0 information on what is needed (suspect some spi flash of some sort).
I fully agree. Nextion displays are easy to use, but the screen quality is not so great. DWIN displays have great screen quality and speed, but the software is very hard to use. There are intelligent displays that are simple to use and have a good screen quality - for example ones from company Display Visions, but those are not cheap. There are at least a few of the other manufacturers of intelligent displays, like Stone, which I haven´t used yet. As for your question about the memory for DWIN displays - I will cover expanding memory in one of my future videos.
@upir_upir I can see the footprints for the ICs on the rear of the dwin display, but not sure what is needed. Even a bump upto 64Mb would be enough to make something useful with the need to have uncompressed images, so you don't get artifacts on the display.
I believe that they sell some of the bigger displays already with more memory, but again, I will try to cover that in the future video, since I agree that having 64MB is much more useful compared to just having 16MB.
Anything related to designing UIs would be a good start, as for tools, yes, Photoshop is a good start as well, than Illustrator, AfterEffects, Figma, even some 3D tools.. there is a lot to learn.
I haven´t heard about the Proculus displays yet. I have quickly checked the website, and they look very similar to Nextion displays. Do you know if there is any advantage of using the Proculus displays instead? Thanks!
@@upir_upirThanks for the reply. Im trying to do an infotainment/diagnostic display for my Renault Clio 2 RS and I stumbled across this brand via Reddit. The main "feature" is that they are way cheaper😅
From a quick look, it looks like they are also using TN display panels - just like Nextion. For anything car-related, I would suggest trying to find displays with IPS screens instead - like the ones from DWIN. Those also have much higher brigtness. Nextion displays are dim and the colors are not so great.
Interesting device for some one who don't program or don't want to bother with assembling. I made simillar screen looks in python using pygame on Raspbery PI 2 or 3. Also some sort of PLC like logic and tcp communication also in Python.
Timestamp video: 0:20 Me: wait what? *notices an incomplete segment lit* that isn't an normal LCD segmented display! Timestamp video: 1:31 Me: i can see a moire pattern...i wonder if this is actually just an normal Subpixel RGB display...given that it changes to complete white and shows an black rectangle as if its nothing....
Just curious, do you have a toy/device to extract hex from OBD1 from 99 VW T4 ? I want to extract the data use the hex to map via arduino and display the data on a similar display.
@@upir_upir its not anything negative about your content, just that ive close to zero experience with arduino or rasp pi projects at all even on a basic level. let alone some of the cool projects youve done.
I was asking since I wanted to see if there is anything that´s unclear in the video that I could improve the next time. I would love for my videos to be understandable also for beginners.
INCREDIBLE VIDEO, my man this is exactly what i was searching for, my problem is that i already have the entire hardware setup, i'm just searching for a software as easy as this to use to create the UI, didn't have any luck with it tho, you know anything i could use?
Thank you! Could you share more details about your hardware setup? There are many tools for UI, but they are not always easy to use. Nextion PC software is nice, and overall simple and easy, but those screens are not very bright and definitely not usable for outdoor/sunlight conditions. I have another video using DWIN screens and those displays are great, but the software is horrible. A good choice would be intelligent displays from Display Visions, but those are not cheap. Or not go with intelligent displays at all, and just use "normal" displays, with for example ESP32, and perhaps LVGL with their tool Squareline studio. There are many different choices and solutions and choosing the right one is hard not knowing all the other details.
@@upir_upir i got a simple display with a driver board (a very good display for this use case since it comes out of an actual car infotainment) and a cheap second hand smartphone that can output hdmi where i run RealDash, its a very nice app to create basic designs but to design something more sophisticated you need to use external software for the design such as PS, and something else to do more complex animations which you can then upload as XML into the app
i'm using a display out of an automotive infotainment system with a driver board and a cheap smartphone with hdmi out in which i run RealDash, a very nice app but in order to create something more intricate you need to draw outside of the software with the likes of PS and to create the animations with some piece of software to then export them in XML and import them into realdash, the only problem that i'm facing is that i have no idea where to animate everything
Great tutorials. Thanks. Can you make a tutorial, one displey, pitch/roll, motor temperature, compass bearing with declination compensation input and something that you want to see. Thanks again.
Yes, as mentioned in the video, those screens are great for testing, but for a real-world usage, I would switch to something like DWIN screens. They have high brightness.
I wouldn't even buy it if it didn't have the error. 90€~ a too much.I prefer to buy the 36€ version which is also 7inch and also has a touch screen. And most likely made by the same manufacturer
@@upir_upir i mean the ESP32-S3 HMI 8M PSRAM 16M Flash Arduino LVGL WIFI&Bluetooth 7 " 800*480 Smart Display Screen 7.0 inch RGB LCD TFT Module because its 1:1 only the PCB Color is changed and mnaybe the Touch Version
Oh, I see. Those are two totally different modules. Once is a "smart display", that you can easily use without knowing anything about programming, the other one requires a little bit more effort. That´s probably the main reason for the price difference.
I've never built or worked on something like this, but all this info can be pulled from the OBDII port, I imagine there is a plug that connects to or intercepts the port and updates information from that.
@@giuseppedesantis1604 Not an issue at all - it takes just a little bit more wiring to read all the neccessary sensors directly and feed the arduino with some voltage values to display.
@@giuseppedesantis1604 You might be right. The best way would be an inductive collection on a drive shaft or at the hub / wheel. In combination with the wheel circumfence speed and distance are just a calculation based on impulses.
Nice video and thanks for sharing. I buy a nextion 5inch from ali from make a monitor for my motorbike. The hardware works pretty well But the display itself is very bad quality. The view angle is terrible. Also, the quality of the display is very bad. With a gradient background, the image is horrible. Maybe i got a bad one, but i don't think so. The big plus is the editor.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, as mentioned in the video, the Nextion displays as easy to use, but not the best when it comes to screen quality. Try DWIN displays, I have videos about them as well, they are sunlight readable.
I have tried that (compensating the stretch in the design), and it´s not worth the work. Plus, you also need to count the fonts - and that´s not so simple as resizing the image.

I built a gtr gauges using them when it first came out 7yrs ago
Cool, do you have any videos of that project? I would love to see it!
@@upir_upir are you on Instagram I don't know how to send vids here
Could you please send it to me to utuber.upir(at)gmail.com? Thank you very much!
Great tutorials. Thanks. Can you make a tutorial, one displey, pitch/roll, motor temperature, compass bearing with declination compensation input and something that you want to see. Thanks again.
Yep, I might do something like that. Thank you for your suggestion.
Can you make the Indonesian version of the Toyota Inova Reborn car?
I wasn´t able to google any nice looking photographs of that dashboard, is there anything interesting about it?
can i don this for a motorcycle? i would like to do it on my hayabusa
Yes, it should be possible, but again, using something like DWIN display would be probably more suitable. Nextion displays are not too bright.
Can you please make a video with squareline studio and lvgl
Yep, that’s definitely on my todo list.
can you make for opel kadett gsi
Definitely! That digital dashboard cool.
I bought this display for use on my motorbike. It brightness is not high enough for a dash
Yes, as mentioned in the video, those screens are great for testing, but for a real-world usage, I would switch to something like DWIN screens. They have high brightness.
@upir_upir can you recommend a good one?
Why does his dash have the Canadian maple leaf in the top right corner? Ohhhhhhhhhh....sorry.
Just to confuse viewers :)
how can i connect this with obd2 to my car ?
I will cover that in the next video.
Oldschool Golf 😍
Do you have one?
If you mean a Digifiz no but I have owned a couple of Golfs, Mk1 and 2.
I miss all of them 😔
I miss all of my old cars :)
I wouldn't even buy it if it didn't have the error. 90€~ a too much.I prefer to buy the 36€ version which is also 7inch and also has a touch screen. And most likely made by the same manufacturer
Do you mean 7inch Nextion display, or some other display?
@@upir_upir i mean the ESP32-S3 HMI 8M PSRAM 16M Flash Arduino LVGL WIFI&Bluetooth 7 " 800*480 Smart Display Screen 7.0 inch RGB LCD TFT Module because its 1:1 only the PCB Color is changed and mnaybe the Touch Version
Oh, I see. Those are two totally different modules. Once is a "smart display", that you can easily use without knowing anything about programming, the other one requires a little bit more effort. That´s probably the main reason for the price difference.
amigo, esse display poderia ser usado para criação de um steam deck ???
Sure. Do you mean the version where there are physical buttons laid over the display?
@@upir_upir +/- isso, botoes com alguma imagem de fundo, uns para cada função, tipo um streamdeck mesmo, eu falei o nome errado antes, peço desculpas
Yes, I would like to try something like that!
how can works this with the sensor form car??
I've never built or worked on something like this, but all this info can be pulled from the OBDII port, I imagine there is a plug that connects to or intercepts the port and updates information from that.
@@QreenVEVO yes , this Is not a bad idea , but on a gtd golf mk2 , hhm It has'not the obd ahah , Is free electronic, old good school
@@giuseppedesantis1604 Not an issue at all - it takes just a little bit more wiring to read all the neccessary sensors directly and feed the arduino with some voltage values to display.
@@WestBerlinCustoms i think that the most problem Is the couter of km .
@@giuseppedesantis1604 You might be right. The best way would be an inductive collection on a drive shaft or at the hub / wheel. In combination with the wheel circumfence speed and distance are just a calculation based on impulses.
Nice video and thanks for sharing. I buy a nextion 5inch from ali from make a monitor for my motorbike.
The hardware works pretty well But the display itself is very bad quality.
The view angle is terrible. Also, the quality of the display is very bad. With a gradient background, the image is horrible.
Maybe i got a bad one, but i don't think so.
The big plus is the editor.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, as mentioned in the video, the Nextion displays as easy to use, but not the best when it comes to screen quality. Try DWIN displays, I have videos about them as well, they are sunlight readable.
I'm 14 and had an idea for a project. I emailed you can you please let me know about my project? Much appreciated,sam
Thank you! I do get a tons of emails, but I will reply soon.
thats so nice😉
Thank you!
can't wait so so it using real info from a car
Thank you, hopefully soon!
Fr I don't know what the problem is?
Everything is stretched a bit the square is a bit rectangular
@@ShiroiAkumaSamaHonestly, if you compensate for the stretch in the design, I feel like it really wouldn’t be a big issue
I have tried that (compensating the stretch in the design), and it´s not worth the work. Plus, you also need to count the fonts - and that´s not so simple as resizing the image.
@@upir_upir dang ☹️👎
🤩😍
Thank you!
