So when can I buy a boost gauge, whether its econometer style or digital style?

I'm agog at the quality of your work, George. I started reading the first few pages on the custom bar graph meters you made, and now I see Limor Fried's involved. Holy crap. I've been tinkering with electronics for a couple of years, now. Started with the Arduino, and I've worked my way up to making my own circuit boards for a couple of things. As my fiancée pointed out last night, I was starting to hit my stride when I got distracted and bought an E30 last week. :D It'll take me a week to get through this thread, but I wanted to commend you on the quality of your workmanship and for documenting your progress. It's given me some ideas (Great. More ideas. *Just* what I need) and I have a feeling I'll be asking lots of questions.

Holy crap. Coma for a month? And you seem to be back up to speed. Godspeed, man. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. You piqued my curiosity with the Atmega238…

No joke....can you make ones with led's that say things? Like I could put 2 side by side. One says YOU'RE and the other says COOL.

So I'll be buying oil temp/pressure and turbo boost gauges here in the next few weeks. Any idea if you'll have numeric gauges by then?

[Cabriolet]

ok so i know im late really late jumping into this thread. but how can i get some of the awesome gauges?

Any word on if/when you'll be designing some numeric AFR hazard button gauges? I'll buy one as soon as you make it. I don't want any of that aftermarket A pillar shit in my car.

Hey George, any progress with the boost gauge conversion for the MPG gauge?

im working on several upgrades on my instrument cluster such as LED backlight, progresive shift lights on the tachometer, airfuel indicator, oil temp. And the boost gauge conversion would be the last bit missing for my setup.

Regards.

Hey George.

Any chances or plans of making same style (digital, button style) gauges for oil temp and pressure?

I would be seriously interested in that. I think couple more people would like that as well...

Sooo?

[george graves]

Yes.

[gearheadE30]

Well, I ended up getting VDO gauges, but I'd still buy a boost gauge.

george graves Yes.

Perfect, that is just what the Mtech needs add me to the list for those two gauges. Thanks for your efforts George.

Cheers,

Jim

is there a chance you could do a digital button style fuel gauge, so then i could just take out the fuel meter and chuck a custom boost gauge in there.

Also if you are doing boost gauges still maybe make one that goes in PSI to something like 20-25 max for us who arent made out of money :P. 2bar is a fair bit 3 is ridiculous lol

Why not just use your obc as your fuel gauge?
