Hi everyone,
I don’t own a x4 yet but am looking at getting one to use as a computer to run a digital dash in my mk1 mx5.
i know a lot of people have used the raspberry pi 4 for this however I’m more mechanically minded the computer savvy so would prefer to use windows rather that Linux as I’m more used to that OS.
i would be using a mega squirt based plug and play ecu running tuner studio for the dash etc.
the main question i have would be for use of the GPIO pins to run indicator, high beam, handbrake and fuel level signals to tuner studio so i can put them into the custom dash. i cant see this being much of a task for most people but as stated above i have no knowledge of Linux and not a lot of knowledge on computer programing etc.
main questions are;
has anyone used the x4 to run tuner studio on?
do you need to us Linux to use the GPIO pins?
would it be able to run can bus to the ecu? (would it even need to?)
thanks in advance guys
