Update: I haven't had much free time to work on this in the past week or so, but I have been making good progress in the time that I find. I have the CAN Bus interface fully working (thanks to Garm for loaning me his ECM). It is very handy to have a fully functional ECM sitting on you desk, rather than having to run out to the garage to test code.
For the display piece, I am having a tough time locating appropriately sized LCDs with backlight colors that will match our cluster lighting colors. I am now seriously considering using a full color 1.2" graphics lcd instead of a simple 2 line character LCD. This will give me complete control over color and text size. It will also allow me to experiment with doing cool stuff like having an analog tach display. This is the LCD I have ordered to experiment with. I will only be able to use half of the display height in the clock window area. 6100 LCD.jpg nokia_lcd2.JPG |
