Redline Digital Dash

An open, hackable instrument cluster for vehicles. The dashboard draws every gauge from a YAML layout, the layout is edited in a drag-and-drop editor, and everything the gauges show arrives over one bus that any hardware node can publish onto. The same binaries run on the target hardware and on a desktop.

This site is organised by who is reading it.

Section	For	Start with
Getting started	anyone building from source	the build recipe and a demo layout
Apps	people running the GUI programs	dashboard, editor, scope, switchboard
Nodes	people putting hardware on the bus	the table of every node and what it needs
Tools	people building map data on a workstation	map_build
Libraries	developers coding against the tree	the grouped index and each library’s page
Reference	lookups	runtime environment, third-party licences
Design notes	the reasoning behind the shape of things	dated working notes, not manuals
Developing	people changing the tree	build and test rules, the agent control interface, the how-tos
