CANvu 350
The CANvu CAN bus display range now includes a new fully sunlight viewable 3.8" color display. The CANvu is the next generation of compact, highly flexible, rugged CAN bus displays from Veethree.
MotoHawk Library for CANvu
Customers have requested a display that is more functional than the small, inexpensive MiniView gauges, while not requiring as steep a learning curve or software investment as developing a full custom application for the CANtrak or CANvu displays. The CCDM tool for the CANtrak displays fits this bill, but experience with New Eagle and its clients using it has suggested that it is simply too buggy and finicky to be a workable solution. A number of customers currently have experience with the MiniView gauges which are configured through a MotoHawk library. Therefore, it was decided to create a MotoHawk library and corresponding display-side software for the CANvu displays from Veethree Instruments.
The MotoHawk Library comprises several MotoHawk blocks that allow a user to easily configure the following 5 screens on a CANvu display:
- One single gauge screen (mapped to Button 1)
- Two quad gauge screens (mapped to Button 2 and 3)
- One Text screen (faults) (mapped to Button 4)
- One strip chart screen (mapped to Button 5)
Here are some screenshots to demonstrate the MotoHawk CANvu Library Blocks and Screens
