Got some empty 2" x 1 5/8" deep gauge cases on their way!
I purchase Westach aircraft grade EGT gauges for one of my other hobbies, http://www.xm381.com They custom build each gauge for your specific installation, so when ordering another EGT gauge yesterday I asked if I could buy empty cases and they said yep.
This is what I'm thinking: this LED ring, http://www.adafruit.com/products/1463 and this OLED display (same as what 3400tZ is using I think), http://www.adafruit.com/products/938 powered by one of the small Arduino's like this, http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardNano and a bluetooth transceiver like so, http://imall.iteadstudio.com/im120723009.html I think I can get it all to fit in the gauge case. I've got communication code for this already working here: http://www.xm381.com/xm381/aldl.html and pretty much done with the bluetooth portion too.
Functionally in stand alone mode the gauge will request ALDL data and then display it (a button or two for navigation between parameters) but when you pair with the bluetooth the gauge will then let TunerPro, ALDLDroid, etc. request the data then transmit the ALDL stream back.
BTW, hows it coming on ALDLDroid?
