Automotive Data Acquisition System and CAN interface with 4" Color TFT running Linux

The DashDAQ™ is in a class by itself. It is a cross between a data acquisition system, diagnostic tool, automotive gauge display, and a handheld computer. DashDAQ™ uses a high performance processor to run Linux and drive a high resolution color display. DashDAQ is an HMI that allows the operator to communicate with in-vehicle networks, OBD2, Analog sensors, serial devices, USB devices, and more. Cutting edge design and high volume manufacturing allows Drew Tech to offer the DashDAQ™ technology in a compact and affordable package.
