Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so here I am trying to figure it out how to hook it up in place of the little red EPS8266 WiFi card, this thing literally only needs one wire to send the data on
and prototyping the display |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
finally I figured it out and here it is getting it's 3.3 volts, ground, and the Tx (Transmit) signal from the VCU Vehicle Control Unit, how cool is that
here's a link to a short video of it in action: Electric Chevy GMCe Truck Charging With Nextion Display . |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
well that didn't look quite right without it's grille so I decided to shove the little 2.4" Nextion display in there so that at a glance we could tell how late we was gonna be to the next place we need to drive to on the account of charging this electric truck
using only the finest of scrap plastic, literally found on the side of the road: |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
So I had to step away from all the wiring and electronics, and focus on making things less green, liked this used cancer stick disposal

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
