- Redesign the 3D model to improve its fit on the Tesla dashboard by moving the Raspberry Pi's weight to the back, enhancing its grip and stability on the dash.
- Fix a start on boot service or smth similar.
This project is a DIY dashboard solution for Tesla Model Y and Model 3 owners. It provides real-time data and controls for your vehicle, leveraging a Raspberry Pi 4, a 7-inch Raspberry Pi screen, and an OBDLink MX+ adapter. The software is built using QT, PyQt, and SocketCAN, with communication facilitated by an ELM327 to SocketCAN driver. Additionally, this project utilizes the Model 3 DBC (Database for CAN Bus) file for improved compatibility.
- Real-time vehicle data monitoring.
- Customizable dashboard layout.
- Compatibility with both Tesla Model Y and Model 3.
- ELM327 to SocketCAN driver for efficient CAN communication.
- Integration of the Model 3 DBC file for accurate data interpretation.
- Raspberry Pi 4 (guess you know how to get one..)
- 7-inch Raspberry Pi screen (Can be found in Amazon or ebay)
- OBDLink MX+ adapter (Can be found in Amazon or ebay)
- 3D printed Custom-designed mount/holder Check out 3D models or STLs
- Raspbian OS or Raspberry Pi OS
- PyQt for the graphical user interface
- SocketCAN for CAN bus communication
- ELM327 to SocketCAN driver
- Tesla Model 3 DBC file
-
Raspberry Pi Setup: Make sure your Raspberry Pi is set up with the required operating system and is properly connected to the 7-inch screen.
-
