yeah we do, every time I think I'm done buying mods something else comes around.
Is this what it's like to be addicted to crack?!

there's definitely interest in this, I guess it's all going to come down to price.
no pressure.

Good job.
I applaud your work. I was considering finding another LCD or a VFD to replace the stock one, but as I'm sure you're aware, sizing is somewhat of an issue.
Don't fall asleep at the wheel here. You have a marketable product. In regards to your SMT soldering, have you tried the toaster oven approach?

I'm looking to do something more audio carputer related, perhaps if someone set up a donation page and it reached a certain goal, you'd be willing to release the pinout/protocol as you've documented it?
Best of luck,
John

Subscribed. By far the best digital gauge option for OEM sensors I have seen. Brilliant.
Considering I have been completely out of luck getting my scanalyzer working, something that is 'OEM' is perfect.

Maybe you could figure out how to make the Engine Coolant Temp guage functional.
Maybe I missed it, but would the alarm/buzzer work for any and all guages, even if they are not being displayed? So If the ECT reaches a preset temp the buzzer sounds and the ect is diplayed at the same time. And who can set when the buzzer goes off? Would the buyer have to tell you what he/she wants at the time of purchase?

Feature request:
A custom overspeed warning like the GTOs/Camaro's have would be awesome, if you have speedo information available.
Also... i would personally love a toned down version of the kit that is nothing more than you'd need to tie it to an aurdino (or similar). Even if you don't want to make the shield, just the interface and some documentation would kick ***.
I know you spent a lot of time reversing this yourself, so i'd completely understand if you weren't interested in sharing the information. I'd be just as likely to buy either option, personally, i'd just love the ability to implement custom displays.

I have a feature request too... put a prolific or ftdi serial controller on it so that we can plug it into our CARPCs to have full control over the display given a simple command set.

If he can get a patent and find someone to produce them looks like this just may be his ticket to making a pretty penny

Let me try and get a handful of these made first, then I can look into more open devices and docs.
