3400tZ,

Dang! Your project is looking great!

I got my homemade gauge mounted in the '74 Jaguar this weekend:

Yes man, its quite a bit of work. :) It went a bit out of control and I ended up adding a lot more stuff then I first thought. You should add an sd card slot to your gauge and borrow some of my stuff to stream data logs over the USB port!

Your gauge fit really well in your cluster :)

I looked through the thread (twice) and didn't see mention of this:

Could be handy for these projects. ;)

Yeah I knew about them already but it's good that you mention it for other people. The price is right but my personal opinion is that they look a bit too much "made in china". I could be wrong and I should really order one to see tho. The gauge I got from Mike, I just ordered 3 more and they are pretty much exactly 3 times more expensive then this one, each :/ But they're really nice.

Added a bar graph option:



Now I'm out of RAM as well as CPU. Time for the real hardware to come in so I can continue coding :)

Great project, I want the same in my car, quickly thereafter.
It is I who send you a private message.

how well will this work with $42 on the 1227747 ecm?

[3400tZ]

Currently, it wouldn't work. No ALDL support yet at all unfortunately.

At the time I was trying to see if I could get the arduino to recieve anything from the 160baud cause I thought I could write the arduino to work with it. I had the screen on the arduino display what information it received from the obd1 port but it showed some odd characters. Looking for another alternative then laptop or cellphone display.
