Aftermarket Ecu Dash

[wracing 19]

OK, I thought this might be quite interesting for a few people.

 

I have been working on reprogramming a gauge cluster to communicate with megasquirt 3 and other aftermarket ECUs the current source can communicate with anything with can or serial.

 

A lot of the current clusters on the market are really expensive or really aren't suitable for use in a road/rally/race car.

 

The cluster is from a ford fiesta ST and can be sourced for around £40-£80 on ebay, quite a lot of the gauge clusters can be reprogrammed to communicate with megasquirt, the Freescale microprocessor MC9S12H256 seamed to be a popular choice with OEMS.

Good effort so far. I am guessing that once you have cracked the Freescale chip then it will be a case of packaging it into a box and link looms from the box to various models digital dash's

In my application I'm going to be using the standard fiesta enclosure to keep it simple

 

But the tart in me wants to make something out of carbon
