My Touchscreen Speedometer Build

Okay, so Im back again to tear up my Celica and try out some more ideas. This time i wanted to convert my speedometer gauge to more of a digital look.

Check My build vids on this project:

Part 1(obvious where I start the idea process)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L9cUbWXAyI
Part 2(this is where i tear down the gauge cluster to fit the screen and build the frame) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym3MRFHDOhw
Part 3(i have built the frame not its time to test it out) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0xc3zCLycg
Part 4(FINALE) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O50S1x6aioc


So initial of course i had to break down my gauge cluster




The only part i had to save was the actual odometer piece, because i need to save the mileage and the speed sensor is built in there.

Fitting in was obviously a challenge solved by Mr.Dremel




Once i got that in there, i could start taking the monitor apart. The circuit board of the monitor and the controller for the touchscreen fit beautifully inside my cluster and since I was making my own turn signals i drilled in some LEDS as well





Everything fits niceeee





So now i just need to build the frame using the bezel of the monitor into the bezel for the gauges







put em all together and what do you have?

That looks so good! Awesome work dude

Haha I like the concept.

I'll be using these screens for my measurments http://www.entertron.com/touchscr.htm

what software are you going to be using/creating to convert the signals from the ecu?

whoa! epic!

I have a OBDII to USB Adapter that converts the signals. I can read/clear engine codes I have a closer look vid here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIcaeMfN6w0

Is that an Ipad, nice to play angry birds when bored.

Nice, keep up the good work.

SWEET GAWD ALMIGHTY.

maybe you might like to have it wrapped in 3m cf vinyl to hide the imperfections in the bondo work? awesome stuff man keep it coming

aha wow amazing

That's impressive!!

watched a few of your videos. Very impressive on the dash.
Not a big fan of the car PC/large ass monitor but the cluster is sweet.
How accurate is it?

nice work. i'm specially impressed on that on board diagnostic!!!

now if you can do something about that "N" in the middle it would be awesome!!!
i'm guessing that's suppose to be the gear indicator?

Like a boss, bro. Looks very nice. What makes the awesome beeping sounds in the beginning when you start the car? I'm a sucker for beeps and noises, lol.

That's awesome!!!!!!!!!!
