Been a while since I redesigned the Griff dash...

I'm impressed by you again and again! :-) Per

Very aeronautical looking, rather like the array of instruments you get screwed in a WWII fighter. Perhaps that was your intention? I will be interested to see what this looks like when fitted into the car.

I'll "live" with the aero look if the cunning plan for the aluminium bezels doesn't work out. I'd prefer to keep something approaching the standard look, but with modern integrated functionality.

Oh I see, the instrument panel in the picture sits behind another facia panel with bezels covering the screws. Got you...

Testing it fits in the steel dash:


Now not sure if I want to put aluminium bezels over the plastic or put stainless CSK machine screws in silver plastic bezels...

On with the electronics now I've finished work for the year!

Oh...now....that's coming on a real treat.

Love following this thread!

Long overdue for another update now I'm not being side tracked by all the other projects.

The version 1 code is all written now and the basic functions of the dash all work.

I turned my attention to the gauge illumination. My first attempt was lousy, so here's the first time version 2 was powered. There's spaces for a couple more LEDs at the top that should even out the light a bit, but when all said and done, the light is fairly even with only 2/3 of the LEDs in place. Nearly ready to fit in the car now.
