GI: "YarGauge" replacement clock module (Digital Tach, etc.) - Page 29 - Toyota Yaris Forums

SirSchwank · 09-14-2010, 03:50 PM

That video is proof that this is worth the wait, imo.

I know I am most interested in using this as a tach and most of the other features are info-porn for me. So i would like to have the RPM bargraph always showing and have the other text displays rotate every couple of seconds.

Scott, would it be helpful to have a feature priority poll on here so you know where to spend your time?

Also, I wouldn't hesitate to drop anything less than $200 on this, so if the USB option doesn't delay release too much or increase the price above that, i'm all for it.

AGREED!

I like that idea as well. Other than RPM and MPG, the bar graph really isn't that useful, so it makes sense to have the RPM bar graph be displayed on all screens except MPG.

I would be most interested for 75 bucks

RedRide · 09-15-2010, 02:10 PM

Personally, I will find WT, V, and MPG the most usefull as I suspect most who already have a tach will also.

sleey0 · 09-15-2010, 02:57 PM

Damn.

This thing is going to let me skimp on some gauges once I get boosted!

So, in essence, you are saving me time and money if this thing really is less than $100!!!

w00t:D

Just to clarify on the price piece, originally I was targeting under $100, but that was when I was looking to use a $6 LCD. With the OLED display being $79, we are more realistically looking at $150 - $200.

OK... it's good you clarified the price.
Personally I did not know that.

However, it's stiil a good price considering what it does and the new display is much better.

Mistry · 09-15-2010, 03:08 PM

I have a feeling that there are going to be quite a few Scangauges up for sale once this is released.

sleey0 · 09-15-2010, 04:36 PM

Well I would have to think it over.

We are cutting in on a fic here.

Maybe later down the line after I have my car set the way I want first and get boosted.

price won't matter for a device this nifty...I'll get one

CTScott should plan on making them for other vehicles...which
should be fairly easy...canbus standard frame messages....could sell thousands of them

cali yaris · 09-16-2010, 09:41 AM

probably should update the first post with the new pricing estimate. Maybe even run a new poll, since the old one was based on a $75 target price. That would tell you how many realistically you'll need to make now.

I think it's a very nice piece and lots of people will still buy it.

Agreed on updating the first post to avoid confusion.

With the display that I am using, I don't hit price breaks until I am in the thousands, so I won't have to worry so much about minimum runs. With the original display, at quantity 100 it dropped from $20 to $6, so building a minimum of 100 was required to hit the price point.

47_MasoN_47 · 09-16-2010, 12:16 PM

I'd pay extra for CTScott's YarGauge.

dean_park · 09-16-2010, 12:58 PM

A poll may not be a bad idea though on who wants it in the display bs the vent option now. If we are paying for the cool OLED and the clock module only gives 1/3 of the area of the vent, I may go vent if the text and bar graph are bigger. For $150-200, I'm still in.

daveprue · 09-16-2010, 03:26 PM

After seeing it in person yesterday, I will commit at any price up to $200.

swidd · 09-16-2010, 04:11 PM

I'll open a new credit card if I have to.
