A Teensy 3.6-based logger and gauge for my 2014 Subaru STI.

Compilation

This project is built as an Arduino sketch. I used Arduino 1.8.8, but later versions will likely work too. You will also need the Teensyduino add-on (https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html), and the following libraries:

• My fork of ILI9341_t3: https://github.com/jasminpatry/ILI9341_t3
• My fork of Adafruit_GFX: https://github.com/jasminpatry/Adafruit-GFX-Library
• font_Exo-BoldItalic: https://github.com/FrankBoesing/fonts/tree/master/ofl/exo

Hardware

This project was built using the following hardware:

• Teensy 3.6
• MC33660 K-line serial interface chip, SOP-8 package (datasheet); I purchased mine from eBay
• Custom PCB fabricated using the files in the KiCad/boostino.gerber directory (I used BasicPCB's ValueSpec option, which in 2020 cost me about $30 for 3 boards).
• HiLetgo ILI9341 2.8" SPI TFT LCD Display Touch Panel 240X320 with PCB 5V/3.3V STM32
• OBD-2 cable — the switch and DB9 connector in the linked cable aren't necessary (I snipped them off), but the DB9 connector was useful when prototyping.
• Innovate Motorsports (3877) LC-2 Digital Wideband Lambda Controller Kit with Bosch LSU 4.9 O2 Sensor (optional; only necessary for AFR display and logging)
• Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 plug for connecting to the LC-2 serial output (optional; only necessary for AFR display and logging)
• Elcoho 10 Pieces Plastic Waterproof Boxes Junction Case Compatible with Electronic Project 3.94 × 2.36 × 0.98 Inches, Black
• For the faceplate, I had faceplate.eps laser-cut by https://www.ponoko.com/ using:
  • Acrylic - Two Color - Brushed Silver on Black
  • 0.059 inches thick
  • P1 - 7.126 inches long x 7.126 inches wide
• Miscellaneous cables, headers, resistors, capacitors, diodes, wires, screws & nuts, etc.

Tactrix Version

A previous version of this project used the Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 to communicate with the ECU. That version is available in the Tactrix branch.
