My very first Arduino micro controller program. I've never used the Arduino language before ( think it c or C+ ? ) anyways, took me a few hours. Still need to order the thermocouple conversion chips, but looks like it will work. You can see when I put my finger over the analog pins, it does change as it should. Total cost will still be less than a single channel VDO gauge, and I will be able to calibrate it for more accurate readings.

When you get it all figured out I want one. I bet lots of other guys here would say the same thing. Think about it.

Actually, since i'm not a expert on this stuff, I wouldn't want to sell kits and have to support them. What I can do if anyone is interested, is give you the links where I buy this stuff, and email you the code ( good or bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) to load in to the arduino. The rest is pretty simple really. If you didn't want to load your own code I wouldn't mind doing it for you, just pay postage. |

But the tinkering side of me would also like to build it. What code is this, C+ ? I'm going to pick up a book, or find a website, and use it as reference to follow how your code works. My code knowledge is limited to basic HTML. Andy - have you found an "affordable" circular lcd display? I was thinking you could use a square lcd an build a fake circular bezel infront of it. Then program the lcd to only work within a circular area to match. I was thinking of something similar to your graphic but using the stock VDO colors. Again, great thread Jeff!

I never looked at pricing the actual components as i went the big /6 route shortly after i made that mockup. However, i do recall that my image was based on a LED strip that was available at the time. I don't remember prices. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |
