|
|
Has anyone changed the 3 pods in the centre console for anything other than outside temp, altitude and what ever the third one is?
Was looking at changing mine or even making a raspberry pi or arduino with a screen but just wanted to see other people's creations |

Arduino! - five Nanos on two boards - OLED displays - flow meters in flow and return fuel lines - current transformer in the battery leads.
It took a while!!

I think you need to resize your photo - 600 wide seems best for viewing |

I am about halfway in to the dashpod mod, and was wondering where the best place to find switched ignition power and illumination to the pod for us that dont have it from factory.
Was thinking of relayes controlled from Radio harness, but im not sure if the "display-dim" wire will send 12v when lights are turned on or if its just 5v or something? |
