i just got back, his work is cool i gave him the spare cluster i had to play around with, changing out the el or altogether , adding different colours for parts of the ranges etc, all do able. the only thing i'd have really liked is a colour changing rpm needle but (a) or needle isn't translucent, and (b) no rpm signal.

I just want BLUE.

if anyone here breaks the actuator on a cluster DC motor, buy the extra one I got from the manufacturer.

Finally got around to digitizing the stock gauge face...

I'm going to work on some different design...

Also most importantly lighting...
I'm trying to couple of different ways to light them up using LED...
One way is front lit LED.. hopefully more even lighting then spot lights..
Also best way is to back lit with LED.. might be tricky, but I think I can get it done....

Update comming soon....

Here is the KM/H version...

Dooly · 10-13-2007, 11:23 PM

Which design should I try to implement on the Elise??

charliex · 10-13-2007, 11:28 PM

looking good.

ritcci · 10-13-2007, 11:38 PM

Im looking forward to see what you come up with. I like the super plain ones. I really like km/h although Im not sure what its value would be to others.

Lotus Grrl · 10-13-2007, 11:53 PM

Thanks to the Vegas guys making this happen!!

I like styles 14 & 15. Are you able to add km numbers around the mph? My other cars display both (km# are much smaller than the mph) and I was disapointed the Elise didn't. I think it's a necessary addition if you're making this enhancement.

I want to light them up without plugging them on the car....

Design wise.. anything is possible now, they are digitized and got the template made..
With the stock template, I can pretty much change it anway I like or you like....
I can add stuff and remove stuff.... what ever you can imagine.....

goldfive · 10-14-2007, 05:09 AM

wow! I am thrilled that the cluster I originally bought for this purpose is going to be put to good use in making new gauge designs.... very cool!

Sort of the lotus circuit diagrams are next to impossible to read, i couldn't decipher the diagram well enough to be sure.

But if you look at the circuit board there are test points for each LED right next to them.

I'll take the Lucifer set...

unfortunately it didn't work so ended up using it for this

I like #14,15,and 11in the scion section, but my favorite would be the Celica gt #18 in blue.
