In this video, I’m showing you a custom dashboard I built for an electric bike (or e-motorcycle) using an RLCD display that works perfectly in direct sunlight. (ESP32 developmen board)
Big thanks to PCBWay for supporting my projects. You can check them out using the link below. pcbway.com/pcbdesign/layout.html
Unlike AMOLED or other fancy screens, this display stays fully visible outdoors, which makes it ideal for real-world riding conditions.
I designed the entire UI using the TFT_eSPI library—no SquareLine Studio or other UI tools. The dashboard shows speed, total distance, turn signals, lights, battery status, temperature warning, brake indicator, and real-time clock.
The board includes an RTC chip, so adding a clock was simple. Speed is calculated using a basic reed switch that measures wheel rotation time.
If anyone wants to design a 3D-printed enclosure for this project, feel free to share it with the community!
