cursedOBD - A Python/curses-based car dashboard

cursedOBD is a dashboard inspired by the r/FUI subreddit. I wanted to capture 80s-style retro terminals and 90s hacker movies.

It has been tested to work on

• Python 3 (latest)
• Debian-Based Linux Distros, MacOS (only graphics tested)
• ELM327-Based USB OBD Adapter (mine)

It should work on

• Python 3.X
• Any terminal that can run curses and Python
• Any valid ELM327 OBD tty session

Features

• Display real-time output from the OBD adapter (In my testing, limited to ~1 update/sec) including, but not limited to:
  • Speed (mph/kph)
  • RPM
  • Battery Voltage
  • Engine Temperature
  • Throttle Postition
• UI Features:
  • Custom title/unit support
  • Fully customizable window position based on the curses library
  • BIG value output
  • Custom scale support
  • Customizable fonts
  • Customizable progress bar characters

What I plan on doing next (in no particular order)

• Vertical progress bar support
• Easier color customization
• Proper config file support
• Fancier progress bars (needle/fantasy dials?)
• OBD prompts and interesting loading screens
