Glad it was helpful!

Need to do a full tutorial on setting up gauge sweeps etc and the actual screen designing. Been plenty of set up videos but no design videos.

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

Thank you for the feedback! Agreed that design tutorials are needed. We added setting up gauge sweeps to the list and will work up some design tutorial ideas to film once we finish the deeper dives into the various setup stuff.

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

@@mrdahenry none taken! We have users of all different levels of technical ability. You are clearly on the high end of that curve, and as we get into more technical tutorials the marketing guy will quiet down. Very much appreciate the feedback.

When do you anticipate the next tutorial will be published?

I have an aem cd5 and i cant get it to communicate with my aem infinty
The cd5 was used on a different ecu before me, i've added a graph for infinity but it wont read anything ,
Is there a code or anything to tell the cd5 what ecu i have? PLEASE HELP

[@vinceboyd]

I haven't been able to get a fuel gauge working using the gaugeart analog to can with Infinity ECU. Also, my gear position doesn't read the correct gear. I'd appreciate either or both covered.

Would like to see a tutorial showing a new setup. trying to used one of the aem background and can't seem to find the channel for engine rpm but when using one of the predefined setups I see the channel for engine rpm. most likely is user error.

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

Thank you for the feedback! We will add this to the list and plan to start on the next series of videos after the New Year. In the meantime, please contact our support team if you get stuck and they can help! [e-mail]

[@A.Alkoot]

the video was great , but when i tried connecting my LCD after i did the screens the way i wanted , the message (no screen appeared) or something like that , when i check my screen it says |"no applet logs present" and it won't connect to dash design

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

Try reinstalling the Dash Design 2 software. Then reflash the latest dash firmware by going to tools->upload firmware. Next attempt to flash one of our base layouts to your display(Documents->AEM->Dash Design->setups->app specific). After taking these steps try reuploading the setup you have created. If you are still having problems please contact our Tech support representatives at [e-mail] so they can assist in troubleshooting, please also include your dash serial number along with the dash setup file you created

[@Ryukachoo]

just how customizable are the graphics?
if i want to make the display match the styling of a classic car, for example, would it be possible to do that? or is a lot of the gauge styling locked in some presets

[@unotice2]

Can you guy please do a tutorial on how to do set up alarms and warnings. Also how to get the dash to display what the values of those alarm are. That would be great because that is one of the main reasons I bought the dash . Thank you

[@AEMpowerTVelectronics]

Thanks for your feedback. We have that on our list and are filming tutorials weekly for DashDesign, so please set your notifications and let us know what you think when it releases! In the meantime, if you need immediate assistance our tech support specialists are here to help, [e-mail].
