I recently finished assembling my own custom quad gauge to replace the combo fuel gauge and though I would share the results. The gauge has coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage gauges. The indicators for parking brake, generator, low oil, and low fuel are present as well. Watch the demo video at the link below to see it in action.

I am very impressed. Also, I think you may have solved a problem with my own search for the triple gauge. My problem has been generating the gauge face, which is on a stamped piece of aluminum. I have tried vinyl through the laser printer and silk screening. The vinyl is best, but the edges want to lift from the compound curves. Silk screening wasn't accurate for me - but my experience has been with art and T-shirts, so tiny precision I haven't gotten.
Laser etching! Also, very cool. In the end, since you used 40-50 year old technology for the gauges themselves, what drove you to the micro controller route? I think it is because you can! Ah, jealousy creeping in. Oh, well done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) |
