S100 with Plex dash?

Post by steveslowboy »

Hi All,

I wondered if anyone on here has tried one of the Plex Dashboards on a DTA ECU?
The smallest one they do (the micro SDM) looks quite neat and apart from lack of shift lights, could be a solution for my car to mount to the steering wheel (bike engined single seater). It's not obvious from the website if it will display the DTA gear position as that doesn't appear in the list of CAN functions they list for the S series......

I'm in the process of investigating dashboard options for my hillcimb car (and others I'm working on) - specifically to mount to the steering wheel so am open to suggestions and opinions of those whove tried something similar.

Cheers
Steve

I'd be surprised if it didn't, they have the CAN stream data.
Drop them an email, they're very helpful.

If DTA does not transmit gear position ( would seem odd not to ), then there is a good chance the Plex can calculate gear from road speed and rpm if you enter the gear ratio information into the dash.

Thanks Alex - will make contact with Plex; perhaps it's just poorly worded on their website.

If you look in their dash config for the micro dash, it is configured to receive gear position from DTA.

Or even if ti didnt you can configure based on speed/rpm.
