Gear Indicator Manual [Idea]
Hey all,
So I was driving in my '12 Yaris yesterday (it's manual) and I got to thinking (Surprising, I know). I thought it would be just the bee's knees if the Yaris has a gear indicator for the manual. Why? Because it would look kinda cool. At least; I think it would. A nice set of LED lights that simply displays "R, 1, 2, 3," etc. I'm thinking that this is possible with micro-switches, an Arduino board, and a bread-board with LED lights. Mount the micro-switches so that when the gear is shifted, they are pressed and send a signal to the Arduino, which then displays the appropriate number/letter. If no input is detected, i.e: neutral, than 'N' is displayed. It'd be a bit of work, but would be cool if I could pull it off. What do you guys think? |
