UPDATE: It's been a while lol. The website is now back to normal ordering mode - anyone who wants to order can now do so from the website without pre-ordering via email. Many thanks for sending pictures of the TFT Dash on your bikes! It really is amazing to see this thing go from dream to reality in the space of a few months - it's so much appreciated!

The February 2020 Software update (which was originally meant to be the Christmas software update!) is finally available to download. (Existing TFT Dash owners might have been notified via email). In addition to TPMS compatibility, this introduces a critical fix to the odometer that manifested on a few boards (not every microprocessor had the issue) at Odometer values of 100000 or above. This has been fixed.

A tweak to the gear indicator has also been done, so it compensates a bit better when accelerating hard / decelerating. A bit later I'll be introducing a way to calibrate the gear indicator, by setting your own observed gear ratios per gear. I've noticed that simple factors like rear tyre pressure can throw off the gear indicator as it is quite sensitive.

Any issues do let me know.

Hey! Have you been able to get a good look at gen 2 wiring unt zu weiter?
Can´t imagine it would differ to much having had yamaha´s since 1999

Strange times we are in these days! If you fancy killing some time, I've prepared a 6 part video series on YouTube which details how a TFT Dash is made all the way from order to dispatch.

Link is below:

Development Update: Gen 2 is certainly on the table - I've got a set of Gen 2 clocks on the way which will help me suss out how the existing clocks operate. FZS600 dash is coming along nicely. Turns out the FZS600 wiring is identical but signal frequencies are very different and a couple of the inputs are reversed for the 2 bikes so will be providing a firmware version which will work for the 600.

Sat Nav update is in progress - each of your units have a bluetooth module which I will activate in the future software update which will enable Navigation abilities.

Any queries, or suggestions feel free to let me know.

Stay safe!

I'd be quite interested in a Gen 2 model but only if it were a lot smaller. I dont know if it's even be possible but I'd imagine one about 6-7inches across ( about the size of a galaxy s10 plus) as I feel for a naked bike the current one is way to big.
It works alright in a faired bike though so I'm probably just being finicky Haha
It's an amazing bit of tech either way you look at it 👍

I'd second that

When you say satnav would it be a full screen system or just a portion of the screen with basic info something like the KTM dash?

Any news on a 2nd gen model yet?

Probably the small ones that are fitted with the new bikes would be too expensive and nobody will buy them

Hey fella, another one for a 600 version, and +1for rearview cam input!

CatalinU · « **Reply #133 on:** 29 June 2020, 07:48:15 pm »

So nothging new under the sun? Following this for some time, waiting to see if in the future will be a smaller ersion for this?

DJDLTD · « **Reply #134 on:** 02 July 2020, 07:19:49 pm »

Hi guys - apologies for what seems to be longer and longer times between updates! It seems most of my time is now divided between work, building new TFT units for dispatch and then squeezing whatever time I have left to focus on updates.

The good thing is the next software update is in full swing and will be incorporating the following enhancements:

Corrected Voltage reading
Unit selection on Tyre Pressure / Engine Temp / Ambient temp
MPG units in Ltrs/100KM selection
Calibration of the Gear Indicator for more or less sensitivity
Additional control of when the FAN comes on after engine start

A few of you who've bought the recommended TPMS have noted that you're not getting readings from the later kits being shipped from Amazon. This is due to the manufacturer changing how they identify their sensors, so I'll be incorporating this change in the next update.

As always recommendations for enhancement are always welcome. A smaller version is also certainly possible but a bit of a way off yet. One of the issues I'm working to improve is the reboot after engine start - this is due to the momentary interruption of power to the unit, a number of options are possible - some of you have suggested that you'd like to hard wire the TFT unit direct to the battery, have been working on a smaller version of a 'UPS' module which will prevent this restart - will keep you informed on this one but essentially will be an additional module which would sit between the TFT Unit and the Bikes connection.

As always, any suggestions or queries do let me know.

Any more info on a gen 2 version?

Brilliant piece of kit, keep up the good work

Hi all,

Apologies for the seemingly increasing waits before updates. But good news - the TFT Dash v2.0 Software Update is now available to download! Some much requested and needed features have been introduced, and some crucial fixes have been applied. For a complete walkthrough of the latest update, there is a video at:

Looks like fantastic upgrades, well done. This dash just gets better and better!!!

NitramA · « **Reply #141 on:** 12 August 2020, 05:56:15 pm »

I keep looking at this;it certainly is a very interesting product.
The knowledge and effort you’ve put in shows you know what you’re doing.
It’s a truly impressive device.

If you could integrate Google Maps (or Android Auto) I’d not be able to resist hitting the buy button.
Also I’m less concerned about the overall size, more the shape. Is there any way you could just round off the edges to make it a little less box shaped?

This is really nitpicking. Fantastic job.

If it would run on android, I would buy 2, just to have one as a spare

DJDLTD · « **Reply #143 on:** 14 August 2020, 06:50:27 pm »

There is a plan in place to integrate navigation. Every TFT Dash ships with a built in bluetooth module which prepares it for a future software release which will include navigation abilities. The idea is it will pair with an app on your iPhone / Android smartphone and it will be your phone that does the navigation but it will send directional updates to the dash via bluetooth.

So the things you will see on the dash are mainly distance to next action (e.g. Left Turn / Right Turn / Roundabout, Exit, etc...), the action to take and other navigation stats like ETA, Distance to Arrival, etc...

The navigation update is a bit of a way off yet as it requires development of the smartphone app but the TFT Dash will most certainly support that.

I'm currently contemplating making an Android version, but this pandemic has brought in more work than ever, so no time to work on it at the moment!

The interesting prospect of an android version for me is that you can use a phone for the dash to save some money...

yes, I will. My dash is not in good condition either, the buttons does not work long time already.

It seems longer and longer now every time I post updates, but good news is on the horizon - for TFT Dash owners the Navigation update is really close to being released. Thought I would post a quick video on the first Road test I did earlier today with the Navigation update working in conjunction with my iPhone via Bluetooth. Android users can expect an app release soon after this is out (it won't be long). But for the latest update video, the link is below:

Stay safe
