What is movel?
Movel is a Node.js web application that serves as a real-time dashboard for a car computer running on a Raspberry Pi. It connects to any standard OBD2 Bluetooth adapter to read live vehicle data including RPM, vehicle speed, throttle position, engine temperature, and engine load. The dashboard displays this data as circular gauges in a web browser served by an Express server on port 5000, with real-time updates via Socket.io. The project uses MongoDB for data storage and is configured via a CoffeeScript config file. It is licensed under MIT and was last updated in December 2015.
