A Modern, Backlit, All-Electronic Cluster

[81dmc]

Well, it looks like I need to start this now...

I received my Dakota Digital 6 gauge kit today, and it is the perfect size for our cluster. I will be redesigning a few things in photoshop for the the one-piece, plexiglass face. The designs can applied using thin lexan, which is basically the same stuff used for the AC fascia decal.

Here's a few pictures of the the cluster I bought. It came with a speed sender, tempurature sender, and even an oil pressure sender.

BTW, the tape is for the calibration of the needles.

[81dmc]

I'm made a paper printout of an original style design. I temporarily tested it on the gauge to check the sweep pattern and hole cutouts.

Neat! You'll have to share more like what you ordered, install process, cost, etc. can't wait to see it lit up!

I ordered a gauge kit from Dakota Digital. Here (http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=973/prd973.htm) you can find the specific model I purchased.

For the construction, I'm using a piece of plexiglass that I bought from Ace. I just brought my cluster with me to find the best thickness.

First thing I did was disassemble the unit as shown in the first post. The disassembly was made easier since the needles stop if they are rotated clockwise. The needles just simply popped off, and I was on my way to the design process. Scanning from my copier was a breeze since the speedometer and tachometer gauges use the same sweep pattern. This also applies to the other gauges, which have their own mini sweep. Once that was completed, I used "Bebas Neue," which is a font very similar to the original. Each tick is simply a dash from that font resized.

Next, I will attempt to print onto a piece of lexan that I bought from here (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GQBD0OK/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

[81dmc]

I'm scrapping the lexan plan, and am waiting to here back from a professional for printing. Otherwise, I now have completed the final design. Resolution is 4630 × 1260.

[BladeBronson]

Why have the speedometer go so high? Presumably, 100% of the time you'll only ever use 50% of the gauge.

[81dmc]

Why have the speedometer go so high? Presumably, 100% of the time you'll only ever use 50% of the gauge.

With that same way of thinking, why would DMCH sell a 140 MPH speedometer? Also, why would modern car makers design speedometers that even go 200+?

[BladeBronson]

The 140MPH speedo was a factory part for the euro spec cars, so I suppose DMCH sells them for those owners or anyone else that wants to switch their car to what it would have been without the NHTSA law that forced a top reading of 85MPH. Outrageous top speeds on speedometers are a selling point to American consumers according to this article (http://www.nydailynews.com/autos/u-s-speedometers-show-unreachable-speeds-create-nascar-like-illusion-article-1.1275934).

Because you're building this for yourself and not to trick consumers, and because I assume that you could calibrate the gauge to whatever readings you wanted to print, I was curious how you chose 160MPH. No criticism intended.

It's all fine.

Anyways, I'd rather have idiots come up to my car and say it's "fast" because it has a 160 MPH speedo. That is one reason why I chose to use this specific speedometer... Otherwise, it's just for looks.

[gulwng3]

Now, you just need to mass market a plug-and-play version to the rest of us that would like this cool upgrade.

First of all, that looks great...awesome work!

Question on printing, however. Would this be done on a similar type of material to the A/C decal? If so, wonder if we could make some replacement, partially transparent headlamp switch icon labels :)

[OZ DMC]

This look great, well done.

[81dmc]

Today, I decided to sloppily put together my own "label." I used 4 sheets of transparencies, three of them with colored "invisible" icons and one with greyed out "invisible" icons. I decided to do this after receiving a quote of $300-$400 from a professional. :shock:

Here's the result.
45047

Here's a few backlit with an led flashlight.
45048

Here's the center icons backlit, and I know, bad picture quality...
45049

Notice the icons disappear when not lit.
45050

Please mind that these sheets were put together in 30 minutes and the printer was an inkjet. I'll probably use my laser printer to print in the future...

Also, if anybody knows an individual with an industrial printer that can print on lexan, please let know.

Looks promising. Great job. Any update?

[81dmc]

Will be finally finishing this project soon. I decided to go with a professional cluster printout as to avoid UV ink fade. It took awhile for the print to come in from Black Cat Custom Automotive as they had an emergency before my design was queued. Finally, after USPS almost lost the package, I received the custom print.

Here's the pictures.

Edit: This print cost less than $200 shipped to my door...

[81dmc]

Semi-installed the gauges.

Do to lighting issues on the smaller gauges, I have to wait for some transparent countersunk screws until I can complete the project. In the meantime however, I'll be wiring and installing the indicators.

The only way a kit could ever be possible is with a partnership between DMCH and the manufacturer, Dakota Digital. That is only a dream, however, because DMCH cannot even reproduce binnacles let alone design a new cluster to fit in the binnacle.

Well, now that you have the prototype, I would suggest talking to Steve about it. They would typically hire you as either an external designer/vendor, and then make an offer to buy your design/prototype at a fair price. You might even be asked to help with the production of more units with Dakota as
you have that relationship with them.

If you want, pm me and we can talk more offline, as I've done a number of projects that went into limited production.

[Lwanmtr]

I was talking more about the plate you had printed up, not really the whole thing.....though a good write up on how you went about doing it all..any mods to make the replacement guages fit, etc would be cool.

I'm totally stealing this idea when I have the money. :) Thanks for sharing this project!

[john 05141]

Man, that is totally cool. I am very interested in one of those.

Jan

[Timebender]

If I could even get a fuel gauge that was accurate out of this, I'd be a happy camper. :)

[81dmc]

Well, if I am completely successful with this project, there may be a possibility of me making a few one-offs for a few of you. I am thinking about 10 clusters max. Of course, if that becomes reality, it would cost all the way in the range of $2500-$3000 since it takes quite a bit of work to just build the cluster. Extra wiring would also have to be run by the buyer for the new sensors.

Anyways, with this cluster, I have completely eliminated the otterstat in favor of a Dakota Digital fan controller, which uses the head temperture sensor. If for some reason the sensor becomes inop, the controller defaults the fans to always on, thus saving the aluminum PRV from overheat.

[81dmc]

Finally fixed my lighting issues. I'm now moving on to the warning indicators. No pics for now though.

Also, I will post the illustrator .ai file of my design soon. So, if anybody wants to eventually tackle this themselves, I'd be happy to guide you through the process via PM.

[81dmc]

Cluster is put together. Now I just need to finish the wiring under the dash.

I'd definately love to put this on my list of possible upgrades.

Got some of the indicators wired. I'm waiting for an order from Super Bright LEDs for the four green LEDs to finish this process...

There is a video demonstration of the indicators and dimming functions included down below. Also, sorry for the shaky camera. My iPhone 5 is not the best camcorder.

What are you running for a speed sensor?

For now, I'm running a VW Jetta pulse generator piggybacked off the angle drive. However, when the angle drive fails, I will install a hall effect sensor on the driver side of the transmission. There are kits sold for Porsches that bolt on to our car's driveshafts to generate pulses for that sensor.

Very cool idea. I googled an image of that speed sensor, I wonder if you could just run it without the angle drive assuming you make an adapter nut and install a longer piece of square stock. Hmm.

I designed up a little speed sensor for the transaxle as you have mentioned, never got around to welding it up and installing it yet.

[81dmc]

Here's a new update:

All indicators are now wired up and ready. I just need to make a new cluster lens without the trip hole.

They have always been connected... At this moment, everything is fully functional except for the seat belt light, and that is due to a faulty chime module.

It's been a while since I've started my car, and that will be taken care of this weekend with some fresh fuel in the tank to dilute whats left of 1 year old gas. Once it's started, the temp and oil gauges will come to life.

I've sold bucket loads of these over the past few years, they let maybe 75% of the original back light through (depending if you bother to clean of the old decal) compared to the original but they look great, take about 2 seconds to install and I always send 2 sets in case you cock one up.

They are a sandwich of white vinyl, black decal and then a clear top layer.

You can checkout the feedback from many, many other DeLorean owners who have bought them from across the globe.

Oh!

TBH, while it didn't actually cost as much cash as I anticipated, the planning and install were the biggest PIA's I've experienced with 0831. TBH, I'd rather r&r the roof box and align the doors than start this entire process from scratch again...

Well, then you can sit back and relax, knowing that you only had to do this job once. :)

(P.S. I still want to steal this idea, but with a 120 MPH speedo, which means I can't use Dakota Digital. Still, if I ever do it, I will be sure to give you credit for the original idea!)

Oh don't get me wrong, I'd make another cluster. I just don't want to go through another process of planning and design. After that nonsense, the cluster is just an expensive 3d puzzle with many options.

Also, if anybody wants my illustrator file, just ask.

Id love the illustrator file...Its something Thats in the back of my head to undertake...depending on how long my car stays disassembled..lol

Also, please note that the tach may need about 1-2 degrees of rotation clockwise, and the speedo only needs at most 1 degree of rotation clockwise. In addition, the entire background should be extended down a few millimeters to cover up any imperfections in the cluster housing.

Anyone can use the file as they please, just please leave me some credit. This project took many hours to get where it is.

No transparency on the stock gauges. Must be lit from the front.

[Lwanmtr]

Right but if I get one of these made with the right plastic, I can string the led's behind it and if it all in front of the existing guage panel

When I get a chance, I'll make a picture showing what I mean

Gotcha. Better make sure the plastic diffuses light well with no hot spots and nothing to get in the way causing hard shadows.

[Lwanmtr]

Yeah, I'll have to play with different materials...there's some nice diffusing plastics used for starship models that might do the trick on that

You also have to edit the sweep pattern. Basically you just use the given background and indicators. Everything else would have to be from scratch.

Hi Rodolfo,

I'm 100% on board to follow your lead for my gauge cluster - a huge lead ahead. I was planning to use the stock gauges and just repurpose them with EV related information, but your work on the gauge cluster and graphics provide a much better route for me.

I got to load up the .ai file into Inkscape tonight, but I was unable to figure out what font you had used. Since I can build the underlying gauges (my cluster will just receive CAN message from the main computer) I can mostly use your layout. But, I'll need to re-number some of the ranges (my temps will red-line at 180) and I'll replace the GAS related icons with EV related ones.

Thanks

Here is a HUGE shoutout to 81DMC/Rodolfo for making this design possible (providing the .ai file with the vast majority of the graphics, tons of work, and the idea!). This solved a very tricky problem for me (displaying EV data on the stock gauges) into a dash that will be perfect for the TesLorean.

I still need to do some testing to position the indicator lights correctly (left and right sides). The warning icons on the right-hand side were worked by my brother-in-law.

Steering : Electric Power Steering start-up and fault signals
Battery : Low reserve remaining
Mechanical : Warning from the Tesla Drive Unit
Battery : Warning from the traction battery (400v)
Brake : Handbrake, brake fluid, and (flashing) warning to engage brake when switching to Park or Neutral

The gauges have been revamped for Electric Vehicle information. The two white blocks below the RANGE and MPH gauges will be 16 character x 2 line LCD display (white text, blue background) to display PRDN, Cruise control info, instant power levels, faults, Range > 80 miles, etc.

I use Inkscape to make the edits (free and processes .ai or SVG files). Still lots of checks and cleanup to do before it'll be ready to print.

I can't thank Rodolfo enough... this has totally made my month!

Rodolfo,

How did you handle the sides of the gauge housing that are attached to the warning lights on either side? My first thought was to cut away the existing warning light face and leave only the plastic that makes up the sides of the inner binnacle housing, but this irreparably modifies a part (something I'd prefer to avoid). I also thought about somehow fashioning my own, perhaps 3D printed, but it is a very compound curve shape - so that might be challenging.

Thanks

To fit all my gauges, I had to modify those two pieces. IIRC, I cut no more than 1/4" off the warning light bezels.

[Farrar]

I had a go at Rodolfo's brilliant file and changed it slightly to suit me. Who can spot the difference? ;-)

Looks like you changed the fuel gauge to have an "E" and an "F". :)

Sharp eyes, Rodolfo! :)

Thanks again for all of your hard work on this! It's a thing of beauty.

I chose Dakota digital to build my cluster because of the options. Looks like it will pay off with my new VR6 swap.
I'll be able to use their megasquirt interface module to feed my cluster via a data bus. Let's see how that works :D
