Hi,

I mean how do you manage to close the LCD display / tablet once you shutdown the car?

Normally the display should be ON once you insert the key / push start button, and the display should turn off when you shut down the car. To act as normal dashboard.

Thanks

ahh …  
I control the Power button on the LCD-board and the Power button on the android-board via Arduino-CAN-adapter.  
When it get IgnOFF from CAN-bus, it wait 30 sec, then turn off LCD and Android-board.  
When it get IgnON, it turnOn.  
Arduino run always.  
All just.

Great,

Are you using a seperate Arduino to control display? Can you please show me how do you connect them?

Thanks

You are not carefully reading.  
No, I am not using display controls on the Arduino.  
There are many different single board computers with Android.  
I use Khadas VIM3L.

Ksati! I am thinking about buying VIM 3  
I would like to ask if you could do a test with your Khadas, from the moment you turn on the power until you turn on the RealDash! How many seconds does VIM 3 start?

Hi, guys…  
 ![Безымянный112.png](https://forum.realdash.net/uploads/default/original/1X/51438a9035ad9dac697310fbd39fc5f4988c1efa.png)  
my project is close to completing the first phase.  
I almost finished a cluster for my Mitsubishi Outlander and even started selling the same … a lot of people are asking to do the same … ))))  
the next stage is Volvo XC90 …  
and the third stage - I’ll try to create a startup for the development and production of other cars …

How do you like my job? **See YouTube…** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyF-gOSJgV4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyF-gOSJgV4)

MaxFalk, I got it, I do it myself!  
The compression is 1.5 vertically …  
But then circular elements, such as arrows and scales, need to be canceled preserving proportions for them … and in this case, VIM performance immediately drops …  
And with three, four arrows, there is no longer 60 FPS, but only 30 - 45 FPS, which is very frustrating …  
How do you solve this?

I completely forgot to take a look at this, sorry ☹  
I will push 1.8.9-beta1 soon, which may have an improvement for this.
