README
README.mdT4-MFA is a projekt to customize the Dash Board from an Volkswagen T4 Van with a color MFA (Multi Function Diaplay)
It is based on a ESP32S-Dev Kit C V4 with 512 kB SRAM and 4 MB Flash The used display is an 3,5 Inch RPI Display with 480x320 Pixel The connections from the display need to be modified The CAN connections are done with a WCMCU-230 Modul (R2 has to be removed) Power Control is solved with a 12V USB Car Adapter (the mainboard from the adapter has been used) The connections are done to a self desgned brake out board Some soldering on the Dash Board Instrument has to be done
The fixture of the display has been solved with a 3d printed part.
Please take care to use ARDUINO IDE 2.XX to programm the ESP You will need to use following libraries
- ESP32 library 2.0.17 Do not use newer one as the newer ones are not supported by the TFT_eSPI library
- TFT_eSPI 2.5.43
- ESP32-TWAI-CAN 1.0.1

Questions
How big is the BrakeOutBoard PCB?
It measures 63 × 80 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the BrakeOutBoard use?
65 parts, built around the SN65HVD230DR, LTV-847, EL817(B)-F and S3MB. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the BrakeOutBoard KiCad files?
From the gmoccapy/T4-MFA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/KICAD_MFA_V5/BrakeOutBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/KICAD_MFA_V5/BME_280.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BrakeOutBoard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask gmoccapy before reusing the design.
