I'm thinking of incorporating custom characters in the displays, like below. The OBDuino folks apparently already have this, and it's much more readable than what I currently have.



I'm also thinking of completely revamping the screen edit displays, and adding a brief (2 second) helper screen, accessible maybe by pressing all three buttons at once or something.

It would display something like this for the 1st second,
Code:
 -------------------
|  INST       INST  |
|  CURR       CURR  |
 -------------------
and then it would display something like this for the next second.
Code:
 -------------------
|   FE      SPEED   |
|   RATE     FE     |
 -------------------


Hm... Maybe I can make the analog display code a bit more generic, so that people like yourself don't have to diddle with the code internals. It's already 3/4 of the way there.
That would be great to have such nice labels and if you could modify analog display code to be easy to adapt to custom needs that would be just awesome.
