Well, a pet project of mine is growing into a fine elephant.
The goal was to control a Holset HE351 variable vane turbocharger.. So I got an Arduino.. and relearned my lost C++ that was never good anyhow.
Then I wanted a display for it, so I wrote a basic one in well. VB.net, but I can't fit a computer on my dash so I can look at it while driving, (you can't tune it if you don't know what's going on) so I got a Raspberry Pi and a 7" HDMI touchscreen.
Now what I need to do is read data from the serial port, parse the data, then display it in graphical (gauges, etc) form.
I'm using the Raspbian OS
I'm looking for something that's not going to torture me to learn.. and has some portability to it as well..
I'm thinking Python or Java.. open to other suggestions
