[Julien “JaXX” Banchet]

Was sorta thinking of another approche for the (accessory display to an existing OVMSv3), since the ovms has comms (Wifi, BT soonish), having something simpler/lighter without the needs for a data or can bus. The whole display would only need
And indeed, an ESP has guts for that on it’s own, display could be something like an iTead HMI display which are still cheap for the small screens

Otherwise, more hackable/educational , a RaspPi :
