I'm planning on using Centrafuse for software and Phidgets to tie in climate controls.

I put in the overtime last night for about six hours after I worked my full time job. I finished the mesh clean-up work and welded all the tabs except the ones with the metal clips and the two lower ones that connect to the shifter area. I have also decided on a screen and should hopefully have it here in about a week!

I was pretty disappointed once I finally got the overall dimensions for all the screens I was looking at. Although the active area fit well into the area needed the casing was inches to wide. Having to rework the vents is out of the question so I had to downsize from the 15.6 I wanted to a 13.3. Not a huge loss and I was still able to keep the native 1080p and stay in the 300 nit brightness as well. Overall I think it was a good decision.

Wow that's so cool. The screen size will be perfect. I can't wait to see it. Excellent job, KUDO's to you!

Alright everyone,

I finished up the base dash model tonight and published it to a 3d model veiwer site called sketchfab. I'll post the link below to it. Unfortunately the forum doesn't support their BB code yet (already asked ak370z about it

).

Soon as I have my hands on the monitor I will start to polish out the new design a bit and get it sent of for the 3d print prototype. Please follow the link and let me know what you think, and if you like what you see don't be afraid to hit that like button on Sketchfab

... Also there seem to be some gliches around the tab where they connect to the dash but they aren't present in my model so it will take a little time to figure that out.

This and that custom single gauge A-pillar pod are my favorite 'one-off' parts I've seen on this forum.

Waoo dude just perfect!!!! awesome work

darkphantom · 08-14-2015, 01:16 PM

Dude, that is awesome! I was going to say that you will most definitely have to remove the bezel off whatever screen you are using to accommodate this fixture. A custom bezel is almost inevitable with this setup

unless you find something that fits snugly.

Don't forget about the connections!

Hey thanks man! I think with the 13.3 it will fit snug without removing the bezel, but I will find that out for sure once the monitor comes in. Yeah for sure on the connections, once I know where the screen placement will be I will know where I can mount them as well!

Thought I would throw this out there for you guys on the forum. I posted this pic out on my Instagram feed to get some thoughts from people. I think I have already discussed it on here but just in case I'd love some feedback from you all on which monitor we should use (as long as size works).

Help us CHOOSE OUR MONITOR! These are the monitors we have limited it down to. Each has its own pros and cons.

Monitor #1 // is infrared so it can even be used with a gloved hand. The downside is that the monitor is very sensitive and may read things as input that are not.

Monitor #2 // has a large viewing area and native 1080p resolution but is not as bright as the other two.

Monitor #3 // is the brightest and has native 1080p resolution. But it is two inches smaller than the others.

I'd go with monitor #2. If you need any wire diagrams for anything let me know I'll try to be of help...

It definitely does except for the lower portion which is nearly 2 inches.
