Wow a whole 1-2hz eh impressive
I'm currently trying to get my head around programming a 4DGL 1.5" OLED screen, but having never programmed before it's rather slow going.
Will be very cool when I'm done though.

i gots one of those aim things from early in the thread.
i like the programmable idiot lights. when on track i only look at the shift lights (sometimes) and the idiot lights. if something flashes then i look at the gauges.
you could theoretically add a vdo gauge for fuel pressure and set an idiot light for < 60psi. same deal for wb02. you get 8 channels so u could do 3 temps +3 pressures + fuel level + wb02 (there are only 6 idiot lights, so i guess you have to pick your battles).
i'm currently tring to figure out how to share sensors with ms over can bus so i can datalog.

I don't know about you guys but I prefer analog-style gauges. Digital gauges are just too complicated sometimes. I personally want a big *** tach on my dash and just a few gauges that I can't live without on track. And I want to be able to see them while sun is shining on them without having to look twice. Now that is hard to achieve when you are working with a digital gauge unless you spend a pretty penny on super high contract screen.
