Digital Dash MX5 Miata Arduino Custom TFT Cockpit

Using the primary speedo position to show both speed and RPM, along with clearly legible font sizes for critical info.
I've implemented sequential indicators within the cluster (complimenting the exterior full sequential indicators), and utilised the existing odometer reset button with a rotary encoder switch. Each click from it's rotation adjusts the cluster brightness, (along side with being electrically dimmed via headlights). Pressing the switch also resets the total trip meter.
The rotary encoder fits perfectly in the bezel, sitting ahead of the screen and capped off with a black adjustment knob with a chrome ring, complimenting the OEM cluster bezel neatly.
Trip meter, day trip meter and odometer values are stored in eeprom, and count km fully independent of each other.
The lower centre display i need to figure out what to put there, the size is small so it can only be basic instrumentation, may likely go with cabin temp/exterior temp displays
The left hand side will need revision with additional graphics and stylising but as it stands is functional and legible at a standard seating position.
The LCD has a surprisingly wide viewing angle both horizontally and vertically, much more so then the 7" screen im using for my touch controller.

You gotta start selling these. People will be queuing up, myself included!

By far the best custom arduino complete cluster I've found on YouTube thus far 👏

This is soo cool, I don't have a Miata, but I so want to incorporate this in to my current project, I'd be so thrilled to learn that you would one day sell the code/hardware required to make this happen

[Xerandos]

normally I don't really like digital displays on older cars but this is sick! I want one bad!

[DBuilds]

You have no idea how many weeks ive been looking into a really nice digital setup. And they just dont exist. And then bam I find this video. And my r33 gtr needs it bad. Real bad.

Mannn ... one of the best diy set ups ive ever seen. Ive always wanted a build for this on my s15..

[thegutchee]

If you won’t make em can you throw some code and how to’s out? From these comments there is definately want for this stuff lol

[FudgyMations]

Oh my god man you make me wanna customise my car so bad like this I need to learn to do this because this is amazing

[TheClubGarage]

I literally want everything this dood makes :(

[howacarworks]

this is awesome. I'm so motivated to do this in my MR2 MK1.

[bandofbros]

I would love this for my Mazda 6 from 2009 😁

This is how the instrument cluster of my Prius should have been! XD

[ianfairbanks]

That looks stunning, but would be hell on a track. You don’t have time to sweep that many gauges on a racetrack. Maybe implement a secondary track mode that cleans everything up and makes it less cluttered. Only need tach, oil, and water on a track. Oh, and gas gauge.

[seanhiggins]

please for the love of everything holy, please please tell me you have this documented somewhere...a tutorial, a video!? This stuff is over my head but I want to do it so bad to my Lotus Esprit.

[jeremyvandusen]

I have to say this is very impressive especially the touch screen menu you showed prior. How did you learn the vehicle switches and sensor info or data for which they send to capture it? Ever consider writing an instructable or a Wiki on the full setup? Before you know it someone is going to try and buy the info from you. lol Thanks for sharing for sure. Please keep up the inspiring work.

Cool project! What kind of screen are you using? It's bright and the viewing angle is great. I'd love to do the same to my car.

[ElronMcBong]

Looks good now the Fuel and Temp Display ^^

[BCblackchicken]

Waaau, thats so cool, really nice project man. Im thinking about three classic gauges (Oil, Water) with small 256x256 SPI TFT, but this one is crazy. Do you use Nextion GUI?

[mbk]

Very cool- I’d love to be able to do this for my antiquated cluster on my 2008 Audi... but I know nothing about programming. 😪

[troyriderzsquad]

This is some Tony Stark shiet! You just got a new subscriber sir! Make this into production I NEED ONE!
