Very nice.

Now I have an unused Ipad.
Think there may be a way to use it?

Suave.
The units on the graphs need a bit of tweaking.... :) It looks as if this would easily be able to provide the same alarm functions as my DigiPanel,
wouldn't it?

I forgive them all, save those who hurt the dogs. They must answer to me in hell
 
If your iPad Mini has the cellular option, it makes a good GPS. It's also possible to add a GPS receiver via the lightning port or possibly via
Bluetooth. I have mine in a dash mount and also use it as part of my TPMS system.

More on WinLog.....
I worked with the developer of the WinLog software and the developer of the https://www.dynamicefi.com/ to create a driver that takes the GM
throttle body fuel injection system serial data stream used by the DynamicEFI 'What's up display' and configures it to work with WinLog (that driver
is not part of the downloaded package, but is available on the WinLog-EBL site).

The WinLog developer provides a model for users to create their own driver using Windows Visual Studio, so any device - a raspberry pi, for example,
that can send out a serial stream can be used as input. There is a companion 'WinLogView' program that provides data log and matrix views.

The WinLog system can collect more than one serial stream at a time as long as they input to separate USB ports.

Even more on WinLog.....

The gauge display can be scaled to convert A/D bits to real numbers, either with a paired list for non-linear sensors or with two data points for
linear sensors. Virtual gauges can be created that use one or more gauges and math to display - whatever you can think of -. You can also include math
in the C++ driver to do the same thing.

I haven't tried it, but it offers triggered audible outputs as well.

The driver was developed and troubleshot by Randy Van Winkle and I, with Randy doing all of the field testing. At his suggestion we added three
miles/gallons/mpg trip meters. The WinLog developer was very generous with his time and enthusiastic about the project. For that reason, we are
encouraging folks that use his software and our driver on their GMC Motorhome to spend the 30 bucks and register it.

Ah.... the Ardunio then, as the serial stream generator. I think I'm OK with the EBL. It comes with eight analog imputs, so that plus the other 50 or
so points native to the EBL package and we have enough to chew on for now. I would like to have a date/time display on the screen at some point,
however.
