$25 digital, adjustable, pretty cool

I have been building a arduino to do this.. but for $26 shipped I ordered on to use until I have fully tweaked mine..

 

Looks sweet! great find 'sane....

 

should be here in a couple of weeks...

I'll post pics and a review, seems like a good alternative to the hayden setup.

and I can use my adruino set up along with it for testing

 

this looks like it's going to be sweet

i can't wait to see your 'duino setup

 

the druino is pretty much set up.. just lazy and thought some one else could use this in the future...

I might use this one to power fan connected to an intercooler connected to the clothes dryer... and its $26!!!

hehe... it's to save money, but first you need an intercooler

they also make the controller in the fahrenheit variety:

FMIC... in garage already... check!

 

damnit....they have it in F-that

 

so do you have any pics of your arduinota setup?

 

I got a vid..

I haven't touched this project in months...

 

neat. ever thought about a graphic lcd? it's not much different than that 2x16, just a few more lines of code.

i made a functioning tach for an off-road buggy once. i just need to get a better design for the sensor

(oh, and all the gauges were made by me)

 

I thought about using a graphic LCD but I thought I would start with this and then try out graphics later...

Nice work on the guages.. are you powering a servo? for the RPM?

 

yup. it was fun making the gauges. the one with the speedo, tach, f-n-r, and lcd is heavy... 1/4-20 hardware . i forgot to specify diameter, as opposed to radius. whoops.

i don't have any of the gauges anymore (something about "school property"), but given the time and materials, i could easily make them again.

 

was that apart of SAE mini baja then?

I was in the same program

 

yeah, but i didn't stay in pa long enough to see the final car. i was the only one who knew how to do that sort of thing, so it's doubtful that anyone else continued the work. though, i wouldn't mind making a buggy of my own

 

LCE/LED graphic displays? whaT are we talking about a KITT dash?
Toyota had an LCD binnacle avail. on SR5s from 84-88 or so... no one liked them lol...

Outsane contact them if they have'nt sent it out yet you may be able to change to the Farenheit controller or just arrange to exchange it...

 

I emailed them... and they already shipped it..

Truck is built in metric any how..

 

...but your speedo, odo, and trip meter are all in miles

 

Speedo is in km/h also

And it's a different metric

 

anyway, get your arduino installed so i can copy your design. what board are you using?
