So I’m all up and runnin.  Im pretty computer illiterate but was able to get this all figured out myself.  Richard sent me the dash info. I saved that on the iPad.  I connected everything, and the only snafu I had was in the settings I had to change it to that j1708 adapter.

Nice, I have not gotten back on here in a while. I will get you a screen shot of my set up, I tweaked one of the dashes from one of the Wanderlodge guys. There is a repository you can download and upload dashes right from the bluefire app. I am still working on trying to get the data from the transmission. I talked to someone and they said I needed to try to do it while I was changing gears as sometimes it does not see the data from the transmission.

Here is my dash:

I transferred all my blue fire stuff from my old rig to my Newell.  I have gotten it working on the Newell now.
I have a question and a request.

Was it true and confirmed that once the transmission is in gear, That it populates the bluefire app with transmission data??.
Haven't got that far because we haven't had a reason to move since setting it up.

I'll share my address here. If somebody's willing to share those favorite dashboard files, I would really appreciate that, as the dashboard for the Beaver was never my favorite or trully functional.  
Thanks.

Ron, I have heard the same thing about the tranmsission data, you have to put it in gear and get it to sync, I still have not done that on mine. As far as dashes go, there is a way right in the bluefire where people have shared their dashes. I cannot remember now if I shared mine when I set it up or not. But there are quite a few to choose from and you can customize them to taste. I took one that a fellow Wanderlodge owner made and tweaked it and added the Newell logo.

I don’t know about trans data, it may depend on which DDEC you have.

If you will PM me your email. I can send my latest iteration to you.

I like all numbers with black background. It’s way easier for me to see what going on at a glance than the round speedo type gauges. I have tried a bunch of different setups and like this one the best this week. Hah.
