Qt Automotive Digital Dashboard Design

Looking for help together an automotive dashboard, run on Raspberry Pi, using Qt. Data will be fed from a USB/serial port connection. The developer should prepare a simple working example dashboard and then be prepared to provide us an overview on creating additional layouts and designs. The layouts should be able to scale to various screen sizes withing a range of resolutions. Boot time should be absolutely minimal, and ideally the freelancer can provide a Pi 5 image that can be copied and easily tested on our hardware.

Potential future improvements to include media and navigation would certainly be on the table!

Core scope
• Create the visual layout, animations, and logic for the main cluster (speed, RPM, warnings, trip data, and any other common gauges as agreed upon)
• Structure the code so future additions—like navigation or media widgets—can drop in without rewriting the whole stack.
• Keep resource usage low; startup times and frame rates are critical in an embedded setting.
• Deliver reusable, well-commented source plus a short build/run guide so I can compile and flash it on my target board.

Acceptance criteria
1. The compiled demo runs on desktop (Windows or Linux) and on an embedded target with matching behavior.
2. All vehicle-info widgets resize correctly when the screen resolution changes.
3. Frame rate stays above 55 fps under normal load.
4. Source passes a quick code review for readability and modularity.
