I wanted to view some additional engine and transmission parameters (in particular the current gear), but did not want to buy something as expensive as a Silverleaf VMSPC. So, I built my own using a few off-the-shelf chips for the interface and using an Android tablet as the display. It works great.

Here is the link to my blog describing the project in detail.
