I would say "in that case I'll only have tach and speed" but even the gear selector is done over serial. I'm lazy and mostly deal in hardware and the cluster i bought will never be used for anything other than video games again so I'll probably just tear the cluster apart, take all the chips off the board and wire all the gauges and lights up to only an arduino so I'll have full control and won't have to deal with a 25 year old barely documented data standard.
I just got my cluster in. It does work but my theory of just running all the gauges and LEDs with an arduino instead of serial might not work. I didn't realise that these gauges are servo motors not whatever is in the older ones and this board is alot more complex than the older ones. I really don't want to have to deal with serial data though, any idea what would be easier?
Well thank you for all your help with the serial data stuff, even if I don't end up using it for the project it was very nice of you to share your work.
