Increase screen refresh rate??

#1 Post by YKnot » 08 Aug 2018, 13:40

So I have built a custom boost gauge using a ESP flashed with ESPeasy,

It displays current boost of the turbo in range of 0-30 hooked up to a boost sensor on the car,

Everything is working but it jumps numbers, i want it to go up numbers smoothly so 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc but it currently will go 1,4,7,15.

I believe this is because its changing pressure to fast for screen or esp to keep up with is there anything i can do to help this?

I accept it may never be perfect but if i can get it to run more smoother would be nice.

What duration between the values are we talking about?

Code: Select all

0..1 = X mSec
1..2 = Y mSec
2..3 = Z mSec
etc...

You on about how long between the boost gauge going from 1-9 for example? the turbo could pool from 1psi to 19 psi in matter of seconds depends how hard i put my foot down in the car lol, i dont expect the display to keep up with the turbo but at least be good enough that its smooth transition so atmo it would go 1,9,20,18,5,0 for example if i can get it to go 1,4,7,9,13,16,20,16,13,9,7,4,1

it probably easy to is there another way to increase refresh rate of the screen?

As at the moment i have gone in to devices opened up my LCD settings and set refresh to 1 second.

Basically can i make the refresh any quicker than 1 second?

At first, what kind of display are we talking about?
And update of plugin interval is at the moment limited to 1 second.

I don't know how you measure the current turbo pressure, but you also have to keep in mind that increasing refresh rate may lead to lost readings at the sensor processing side. (highly depending on the type of display)
