My custom gear shift indicator, part 2
So I have been designing a gear shift indicator using a micro controller.
Here are the results of my efforts - with full ghetto installation.
Before you ask, this is just my prototype board, to prove that the circuit works.
Next step is to order a custom board, and small surface mounted parts. The entire board won't be bigger than display itself. I will also get a white 7-segment display to match the console.
Mounting it attractively will be an issue though. I went to a junk yard and popped out a bunch of blank button panels from dead cars. Those might be able to serve as a fairly attractive bezel.
I'll update this thread with more pictures once I get the custom board in.
