Troubleshooting

my display is blank (no video signal is displayed).

  • Check that your display is on and set to the correct source.
  • Make sure gaugeART is powered.
  • If you are using a composite converter, make sure the converter is powered and wired properly.
  • If you are using an HDMI input, and the video signal is not recognized, the display not be compatible with the standard gaugeART resolution of 800×480. If this is the case, go to gaugeDesigner.com and download the 720×480 design (see the gaugeDesigner instructions).


The gaugeART start up screen and background is displayed, but no gauges are shown.

  • This indicates that gaugeART is powered on, and your display is configured properly, but that no data is being received, or the data being received is not formatted properly.
  • Make sure that the serial cable between the ECU and gaugeART is installed properly.
  • Make sure that your ECU telemetry is configured properly.


The background and gauges display, but the gauges don’t seem to make any sense.

  • Your ECU telemetry must be enabled and configured properly.
  • Check your design to make sure you have the channel and units (ie. Fahrenheit or Celsius) set correctly.

If these solutions do not resolve your problem, e-mail technical support: info@gaugeART.com with the gaugeART part number you own, the ECU you are using, and a description of the problem with photos as needed.
