ECUTalk Consult LCD V2 Display

I thought some people might have an interest for one of these units. So in good thought, I'm seeing if there are any people that would like the chance to get one.

NOTE: This group buy will be open until the 27/06/2009. Reason for this is just in case we have some late arrivals and because NewKleer won't have the stock to make all the items until the start of next month.

Background
The ECUTalk Consult LCD Display is a diagnostic and monitoring display for Nissan cars supporting the Consult diagnostic protocol. The display is ?plug and play? into the factory consult port (14 pin grey female connector located near the driver?s side fuse box).

The display has two main display screens, a sensor display screen, and a trip meter screen. The display has a USB port, and can be used as a USB consult interface by selecting USBIF mode from the main menu, and then normal consult applications (including the free ECUTalk software and others listed on the consult cable page) can be used from your laptop.

Features

1. Sensor display, showing speed, rpm, battery voltage, fuel economy, injector duty cycle (both banks if available), ignition timing, AAC, O2 voltage (both banks if available), water temp, AFM voltage (both banks if available), TPS voltage/%
2. Trip meter display, showing current speed, fuel economy, and trip average speed, average fuel economy, fuel used, fuel usage rate, distance travelled, and time elapsed.
3. Fault code reading and clearing
4. Integrated USB consult interface passthru (the same as using a normal USB consult interface)
5. Maximum/peak sensor values recorded for the current trip
6. Time trials (0-60, 0-100, 0-160, 400m)
7. Options (injector/cylinder setup for economy readings, KPH/MPH, C/F, and TPS V/% settings)

The V2 display is the second version of the Consult LCD Display, and comes with many improvements:

1. Size is less than DIN stereo size and thus could be mounted in a DIN space
2. A trip meter screen has been added in addition to the existing sensor display
3. The firmware is updatable by the user (with a laptop), so future features can easily be added
4. A removable USB connection for the integrated consult interface/firmware updates
5. A more efficient power supply is being used, meaning less heat and no ?blobs? in the cable
6. The contrast and backlight settings for the LCD can be adjusted

Hardware Specifications

1. Dimensions: The unit is 144mm wide, 48h, and 33d (buttons protrude 3mm), and weighs ~250g
2. Enclosure: Matte Black, ABS plastic (ABS UL94V-0 EP), 3mm nominal thickness. Enclosure sockets together with 2 ?C? pieces, no glue is used or required.
3. LCD module: 20x4 character display with backlight. Contrast and backlight are adjustable in the LCD options. Green and Blue screen options are available.
4. Buttons: The display has 2 black buttons (ignore colour of pictured buttons below), the left is the ?enter? button, and the right is the ?cursor? button. Enter typically selects menu items, and cursor moves the cursor to different menu items.
5. USB port: There is a USB type B connector below the buttons. The display comes with a USB cable, and a USB ?dust plug? (inserted into the USB port when not in use).
6. Micro SD card slot: On the left of the display there is a microsd card slot. This is intended for possible future expandability, and the initial release firmware (v2.00) will not utilise it at all. If this is used in the future, the data on it may not be FAT file system compatible, and as such any data on it will be lost, and it will not be readable (without formatting) in normal card readers etc.
7. Buzzer: The display has an onboard buzzer for future features (via firmware upgrades) such as warnings or alerts (e.g. over temperature). You may hear this ?click? when the display is turned on, reset, etc.

LCD Colour Note: The blue display is a negative mode display, and competing light sources may make it harder to see than the green screen, as a result it may also have lower viewing angles. The rise/fall time of the display (similar to computer LCD response time ms rating) also appears slower than the green. Keep this in mind when choosing which LCD colour to get. Also, the image below is more accurate representation of blueness.

Green please.

 

the lcd suppliers have said june 30 is estimated arrival of green lcd stock, so by the time they send them out, i would expect id get them friday july 3, so july 6 monday they would be sent out by (this could change if their dates change).
