Hi guys,
Over the past few weeks I have been developing a standalone gauge that replaces the onboard computer and provides a retro styed bar graph of two or three sensors on a 2.8" touch screen LCD display. Currently, the touch screen is not in use but as this will eventually be an open source project IF THERE IS INTEREST, anybody can create the code needed to display information and create menus within the gauge. This is the first prototype unit, powered by an Arduino Nano in a 3d printed enclosure. This unit is set up to measure battery voltage, oil temp, and boost pressure using the integrated MPX style MAP sensor. This unit will be going into my personal car.
I am sharing this to gather interest in the project, and if a few people are interested in purchasing a unit, I will go ahead and invest more time into creating a universal product to be shipped out. However, I need two or three people that are seriously interested in buying a unit to go ahead and create a product fit for market. Some details below:
What you get with the gauge, if people show interest -
- One gauge pod
- Flash drive with the exact code installed in your unit, commented for ease of tweaking. From reconfiguring gauges, or simple things like changing the green bars to red, or to any color you want. The code I use is super simple, and I can walk through it with you for modification and improvements
- A datasheet, with everything you could want to know about what you bought, and how it was made, including a FULL wiring diagram and schematic for potential repairs
- A warranty against production defects and repairs. If you fry something and admit it, I'll still be happy to work with you when it comes to getting it fixed.
- If you choose to use specific sensors that don't come with the car, they will be provided to you at cost (no markup from what I pay for them) as long as I can use them for gathering data (voltage or resistance outputs) needed to create the code for you. Then you will receive the sensor with your display calibrated to it.
If you are interested in supporting the project, please send me a personal message with some details on what sensors you would like. If two or three people want to buy a unit, I will begin to produce these. Sale price will be between $100 and $200 depending on what sensors and gauges you would like. If you are unsure of what could be included in your unit, feel free to contact me with your questions.
Thanks for checking out the project!
