so I may just re-write my existing accel test functions to remove the parameterization.
Please don't! I thought you did something silly and hard-code it --- if the parameters are there, please leave them!

I know what you mean. I have my production MPGuino installed in the Magnum,
Do you have a double DIN unit in the Magnum? Head units with video in can be had cheaply these days ...

The accel test function also cancels when it senses the engine is no longer running, or if the user cancels the accel test.
That's good, but I consider that a side issue. Today I can do a 1/4 mile run, and stop accelerating at 60, then slow down, to say 30 or so. Then my 1/4 trap speed is shown as 30, which isn't the value one wants to capture for a 1/4 mile run. So, I used a max(current_speed, updated_speed) and the 1/4 mile trap speed would always be the highest speed obtained in the run. There are other options, but they'd be conditional and the function would quickly get more complex than is worth the effort.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing more video of your display. I am thinking of adding something like that to my truck, using a rear view mirror with a built-in backup camera screen.
Awesome! Do you have a raspberry pi to run the output? Really it can be anything that runs a web browser. This will force me to address the one remaining bug in the javascript code.

I just hunted down two very subtle bugs that I think got exposed
I can verify the first bug repros on my hardware. I simply unplugged to work around it.
