The RGB dash project

[Ivan141]

Small update:

-Mostly finished revised (v2) PCB designs to fix the problems I have with the current board (addressing issue for needle led).
Made some more changes / additions:
-Bluetooth instead of USB interface.
-More accurate dimensions and LED placement.
-Better quality terminal blocks for wiring attachment
-More sensor options (still need to test this will actually work though):
-Fuel level
-Econ/Pwr switch
-Dash dimmer rheostat (so you can dim the dash with the OEM 'knob')
-Battery voltage (mostly just because I need a reference for the other 12v derived signals).

It's a bit more challenging to piggyback off the dash's gauges, but I hope to get decent enough signals to work with.

Firmware is coming along as well. Did a lot of testing and research over the holidays, mostly found out what
wont work, but that's useful too.
It's going to be configurable in 7 'zones'(tach, speedo, fuel, pressure, temp, tach needle, speedo needle).
Each can be assigned any available sensor and have an animation configured.
Animations are a combo of 2 colors and 2 optional setpoints. Cant fit much more due to memory constraints of the microcontroller.
Once firmware is done I'm starting with an Android app to configure the thing from my phone.
