I had no idea you could display such crisp high res with an Uno !
Your shifter is going to look AWESOME 👍😮
@@ragesmirk and a Gyroscope
I’d like to warn people who park their car outside to not print the knob in pla. It absolutely will soften and deform with the warmth of the sun. Use PETG, ABS, or Nylon if you’re brave.
That´s a good point, thank you for bringing it up. I will definitely mention this in my next video.
Those who have it available should look into resin printing with some abs like resin or similar!
@@upir_upir I did print a set of custom alloy caps in PLA and it flowed out somewhere on the road :P Definitely use PETG or harder material.
As many mentioned on PLA, I only use it for fast prototyping as it's cheap and I also use an ugly colour just to make sure It stays as prototype. Once I'm happy I go to the final material ASA, PETG, or PET CF, I would probably recommend ASA or PET CF for car interior parts, but that depends on your printed capability and if you have an enclosure.
Or just use ASA
It would be amazing if you would use an ESP32, as it leaves more headroom for more complicated designs. The price isnt too steep either. Once again an amazing project. Thanks to your videos, I started tinkering with an ESP32 WROOM and a small oled panel for my car!
In addition to that, there are those ESP32-C3 Super Mini boards which are really tiny. They "only" have an ESP32-C3 but compared to an Atmega32 they are plenty strong.
@@xZise Ridiculously cheap too!
overkill
@@gianni_schicchinah, overheads
@@xZise theres even round displays with esp32 built in
I am in love with your teaching method! You show most, if not all, the common pitfalls associated with basic programming. I know because I fall into them so much that I recognize them instantly, lol...
Thank you for your nice words, I appreciate it! I try to do the project from the very start to the very beginning and for most parts, not edit out the mistakes and errors. I´m glad to hear that it´s helpful.
@@upir_upir very helpful, I've not coded since the 90s and I felt like I could actually do this if I wanted to. A+ job in educating. Also enjoy your accent.
This is awesome. I had the same idea about 10 years ago. I tried LED's, fibre optics, PICAXE chip on a custom board with SMLED's more. I then had to grind out the top of the gear cap to get room and cut out the numbers to get the light to show through. but then that light would show across all the numbers and I needed a way to fill the numbers with something clear.
Then I got a 3D printer and hopes of finishing my project where raised again. while this did allow me to get closer, I still had problems with it all. getting power up to the 'display' getting the chip to decode signals from the 5 switches the LED's being mounted in a way for two colours with out bleeding through.
Now I find you project and I'm going to have to copy you as what you have done is awesome and I have learned so much watching your videos. I can't wait to see your finished product. Keep up the good work!
Oh mine will be going into a VW T5 camper van when I get it done.
Thank you for your comment and nice words! I´m sure many other people have the same idea, it´s not unique, but I´m glad to hear that my video might inspire you with your project. Please feel free to copy anything you might need and good luck with finishing the project!
I have a 1983 Porsche 944 that i am working on modernizing. All your videos on this was one of things i wanted to do, but im not too experienced in arduino, so i really appreciate your work!
That’s great, thank you for letting me know, I’m glad my videos are helpful, and good luck with your project!
Are you posting pictures of your build anywhere, like Instagram?
@@22lambo No unfortunately. I am more of the designer when it comes to these things, the actual building is very slow on my end.
I bought a couple of these a while ago. This is the push I needed to finally start playing with them. Thanks.
You are welcome, you should definitely try those, they are great!
Just found this. You are a very good communicator. This is a very interesting project, as well presented as Clough's and other creators. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your nice comment. I´m glad you like it!

I knew there has to be someone driving BMW :)
@@upir_upir haha nous somme nombreux les fan de bmw /// 🔥 super projet
Yep... Same
Audi owner here and the thumbnail pulled me in, too! 🙂
I've been following this project from the beginning and I'm loving it! It's perfect to go with some of the mods I'm putting into a car. Can't wait for the final with the 3D printed parts for this new screen. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your nice words, I´m glad you like it! Yep, I do plan to continue and hopefully make it "finished" someday. Still a few things that I need to figure out.
The way you describe everything in details is really good. Im sure this will help motivate others to start exploring down this path. You need more subs!
Thank you, I´m glad it was helpful! And yes, I hope it will motivate others to try it, and perhaps make it even better. I´m still learning this stuff myself.
2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta .. Love this project mate!
Thank you, I’m glad you like it!
my God, the most detalied video i have ever seen! nice job mate!
Thank you, I´m glad you find it useful!
The ESP-32 WEMOS S2 mini is 34.3*25.4mm in size and has 4MB of flash memory, it may help when trying to draw bigger or more complex images.
It could allow you to detect the gear using a separate ESP and communicate between them with ESP-NOW to avoid some wires
All good suggestions, thank you!
I might have a look at that later as i have in mind a little project with a bigger screen
It is also a lot faster than the UNO

Thank you. Also, cool car!
15 WRX STI here. Amazing project!
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
This is great find! I have used round displays with glass domes from watches, bezel is that way little bit smaller. But with this I dont have to worry about debrie between glas and screen. And it is cheaper too! :)
Thank you, I´m glady you like it. Yes! Domes. I should have said domes, not lenses. Sometime I struggle to find the correct words.
Amazing display, I CAN'T WAIT TO USE IT IN MY PROJECTS
Thank you, upir, so much ♥! Now it's time to find a round rgb touch screen LOL!
Thank you, I’m glad you like it! As for the round touch screen, I’m already testing it for the next video…
Great little display. Audi Racing Sport comes to mind (RS)
Thank you, also for the suggestion. That RS badge is definitely worth having on the list.
Subaru. Mazda. And ford. I have been loving the system! I intend on using this set up in my mazda and dual screens
Sounds great! Looks like you have a lot of cars :)
@@upir_upir its my hobby. I also am starting a fab company
This is an insane project, thanks for sharing it with the world. The animation itself already looks mesmerizing.
You are surely welcome, thank you for your nice words!
Did not understand half of what you did there, but that is AWSOME !
I’ve just subscribed, waiting to see this implemented in a real gear shifter 🔥
Thank you! If you are curious for learning this type of stuff, please feel free to check my other older tutorials. This one expected that you at least know what is Arduino UNO and have some basic understanding of Arduino IDE and programming. In any case, if you decide to go that route, good luck, it´s definitely worth the effort!
@@upir_upir understood that part and actually pretty enjoyed it, but still need to sharpen my C skills as the arduino programming language seems a lot similar if not the same ;)
Will do , thanks !
I really appreciate that you show issues as they would most likely happen to a developer! Load the image to memory; but wait! It's taking too much space. Oh, let's put it in storage. Excellent and very useful!
Thank you for your nice words, I´m glad you find it useful. Yep, I try to just do the steps and solve the problems instead of not talking about them. I found many other videos just glance over the topic and that´s not very helpful for beginners.
98' Honda Civic Coupe, would love to have a display like this, small feature but it looks cool
Thank you, I’m sure it would look great in the car.
Honestly very impressive work...keep going on.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm driving a 1994 BMW E34 and this shifter will 100% make it into my car at some point! Looks awesome, great work :)
Glad you like it, and if you put it inside, please feel free to share your creation. I would love to see it!
If you need more code space, you would also use simple run length encoding to compress your image data.
Yep, that would surely be a good idea, and with the given type of images, it would probably work very well.
VW driver here.
Judging by the number of likes, you are definitely not alone here!

vw motorsport would be nice
VW only produces shitboxes
Fantastic project, this randomly got dropped in my CZcams feed.
You did mention it at the end, so you're probably going that route anyway, but I would highly suggest going with any ESP32 board with enough pins (should be almost all of them). Just to have a microcontroller with a clock speed that isn't from the 90s. More memory is nice, but that work is done now anyway (and I would have used an approach like yours anyway). It does also solve the color-problem where you said "doing this color tinting in the proper way would take too much CPU cycles", with easy.
Thank you for your nice words, I´m glad it was a good recommendation. Yes, I do plan to move to ESP32 for a faster calculations and bigger memory, but it was still a fun excercise trying to do that with UNO.
Awesome video, this is for sure the screen i will use next
That’s great, for that price, it would be hard to find a better display.

I think this board might work. Let me know what you think.
I'd love to see some fictional brands get some features. Maybe a Weyland-Yutani logo?
That a great idea!! I’m sure I can add Umbrella Corporation to the list. Any other brands you can think of? Thank you!
@@upir_upir SCP would be fun and is at the very least not going to sue you for a fan project lol. Another good one would be any of the fake car brands in the GTA series, or even some of the Cyberpunk ones would be good too. I also am required to suggest the Neon Genesis Evangelion logo, not that it's at all related to cars just that it's hilarious to put it places it doesn't belong.
@upir_upir The TF2 logo is round... and spins...
Then again the Top Gear logo might look equally good
The weapons manufacturers from the Borderlands games have pretty distinct visual identities

E30, E46, E82, and E90 driver here. Love this, and would be amazing to put in a car. Keep up the awesome work!
That´s a nice collection! I´m sure it would look amazing inside.
Very nice tutorial. As a computer science student, this video remembered what I seen in the digital image processing class, it's quite a very cool practical introduction to bitmap images in programming.
Also, holy moly, this screen is very awesome, it sparked some ideas like integrating this with the OBD2 port existent in cars. My 7th gen Honda Civic (Automatic) have the gear selection as a digital information (since there's a soft illuminated gear selector in the panel), but I'm not sure if the gear data is available in the OBD2 port - my dad is a mechanic so he has a scanner and it don't have the gear information, but could be a limitation from the scanner itself. Despite this, an universal approach would be crossing the data from the engine RPM with the road speed, as the ratio could be calculated to guess the gear the car is gated tho.
And yes, I drive an old Honda Civic :D
It would be awesome if someone would take this even further by making it able to track the shifter location itself so you won't even need to take any info from the car(about which gear its in).
Also, I think it'd be nice if you create a couple different iterations of shifter types such as ones that have the reverse gear on the left (many Volkswagen). For alternative visuals Mercedes, Audi, Renault, Fiat, Citroen, Peugeot, MG, DS, Land Rover, Seat, Skoda, Bentley and Jaguar are good options for Europeans. All these would take too much time tho lol.
I´m actually experimenting with this using the accelerometer. Let´s see how it goes...
@@upir_upir I wonder if the 'power' in the car is dirty enough that there's some way to filter out an rpm signal from it?
I see Upir’s response, and if anyone could figure it out here I think it’s him, but I don’t think it would be as reliable without the tcm being the source of the current gear information. It would be cool, but if you’re slamming through gears, of course because some kid thinks his civic with the only aftermarket parts being his muffler and the fake hood pins is faster, then I feel like the accelerometer may have a difficult time. What if you almost miss fifth and money shift into third but happen to slam it over just barely touching the entrance to third and grinding the stick on the flat over to fifth? I feel like it may have some problems with that. I think you automatics that have the auto stick/manual shifting mode that uses the shifter to push left for up and right for down it might work.
You can follow his lead, he's scratching his itch, you go ahead and scratch yours, you are 99% of the way there. Go ahead if you want to do do Volkswagen, Mercedes, Audi, Renault, Fiat, Citroen, Peugeot, MG, DS, Land Rover, Seat, Skoda, Bentley and Jaguar and "other good options for Europeans." He just showed you how. Or just sit back, and comment, wonder why he's modding his car and not yours isn't.
@@zincfive are you fucking aut1stic? He himself told to make some recommendations about car brands he should make new graphics with, hence my comment. I never said "You are to create graphics for every car brand that I've listed here, keep working peasant!", why are you so butthurt? All I did was making some suggestions, I don't have any hardware nor any software knowledge to execute any of this shown in the video. You're just an insufferable human being with no friends living in mommy's house.
99 M3. My shift pattern is different.
Is it the same one but with missing the 6th gear?
This is SUCH a cool project. I didn't finish the video, so you may have done this already, but you can use binary arrays to draw the numbers instead of bytes for a ~16x reduction in stored data.
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
Really cool project. It's projects like these that inspire me to learn more
You should really consider depart from arduino. Nowadays it's a very outdated microcontroller. Find some cool microcontroller to play videos at these displays.
I´m currently experimenting with ESP32. Arduino is still nice in it´s simplicity. It´s slow and doesn´t have too much memory, but if there is a problem, there is a big probability that you will find an answer online.
You say its outdated and dont say why or suggest a better micro. I hate when people do that.
@@David.5035 As we can see, you can't comprehend that these are two separated topics. And I don't mind for your hate.
@@Leandro_ Huh? I asked why arduino is outdated.. what 2 topics? TF are you on about.
@@Leandro_ man, you're incredibly rude. come in, say arduino is outdated, but refuse to offer alternatives, then when others point out that you say they can't comprehend that there are two different topics, and then you don't even explain what you mean by two different topics! holy cow. what an idiotic comment to make. There aren't two different topics here, there's the one topic you brought up and refuse to elaborate on.
Dont actually own a car, just a bike that I use to go everywhere.
In that case the shifter keychain would be the way to go :)
Awesome Project - i think i watched partsof it 3 times - still goes way over my head
will keep watching how everything willt turn out for the shift knob!!
for the E90 you would need to combine it with a Can-Bus Adapter to get the actual gear used to light up the correct gear
Thank you, I´m glad you like it! Yes, I do plan to explore the OBDII version a little bit more to see if I can get the current gear somewhat easily.
@@upir_upir FYI: the gear information on the E90 is to be found on the PT-CAN
- I only know this because I have a datadisplay to get information on water temp, oil temp and oil pressure
and that connects only to the PT-Can
Really interesting process. Thanks for sharing :)
You are welcome, thank you for your comment!
Toyota GR digital knob would look sick! I drive a GR corolla. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Toyota is on the list for sure!
Wow! This would be PERFECT in my Volvo simulator! So many cool ideas that could be made in the simrig!
That´s great to hear. I have a dedicated video to using SimHub in the series, hope it will be helpful!
Bruh the amount of work you put in the making of this video series is from another universe. You are awesome ❤
Thank you for your nice words, I´m glad you like it!
E36 convertible with custom LED lighting, I'd triggered by the tumbnail sice the lightup roundel for the BMW shifters is no longer available seperatly but you have to buy a whole shifterknob with is about €165 so this is a great and awesome solution for this. Thanks so much! I look forward to the next video
Thank you, but I believe you can still buy the LED backlight version on AliExpress alone, without the entire shifter knob.. At least I think I have seen it there.
@@upir_upir Nope no longer available only with shifter going from €150,00- for the normal one to €250,00- for the ZHP one. So my hopes are high for this one ;-)
Civic Si driver would love to see a skunk 2 style display as it’s prob the most popular Honda bro shift knob!! Great work!
Thank you for the suggestion, I will take a look.
I'd love to have this in my Celi, this looks incredible
Cool, good luck with your project!
You might be able to use the screen like a d-pad to be able to navigate a menu. Tact switch under each cardinal direction, maybe long press to select. Or have any 2 opposite buttons pressed to select, triggered by pressing the center.
That´s an interesting idea, and I will try it for sure. Thank you for your suggestion!
This is a very cool project. All that is fitting on a ATmega328 is awesome personally i like the Uno with socketed DIP packages that you can pull out and run dead bug style if your project requires.
Thank you. I also like that version of UNO for the ease of taking the chip out and using it standalone.
This would be perfect for boost/temp gauges. Would be pretty sweet for off road tilt and race car g sensors too
Funnily enough, I´m currently trying to create the boost gauge.. Let´s see how it turns out, maybe there will be another tutorial..
This is such a cool project! I drive a Toyota MR2 MK2, so a little classic :) but that is so god daum cool!!
I´m sure it would look great in that Toyota!
That's dope! Keep it up!
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
This is such a cool idea, I'd love to see manufacturers incorporate this into their shifters in future.
Good video, and great job! I drive an 92' Audi s4, it will be great to see a similar design but with the old Audi S badge
Great, post here when you've done that!
Is there a name for the "old audi S badge"? I only see the S4, S6.. in red color.
@@upir_upir I think there's not really a name for this old badges... this is how it looks the one that goes on the grill:
os1.meinecloud.io/b10048/media/image/43/82/53/46429_600x600.jpg
I had this exact idea a few years ago with a tachometer around the edge of the display as well as current gear, I have it in the unrealized section of my notebook.
Maybe it´s time to finish it? I would love to see it. Do you have some photos/videos of your project somewhere? Thank you!
Customisable theming idea 1:
Use PCX image format with palette and RLE compression with 1 plane. It can be decoded straight into the display without maintaining much intermediate state at all. Punch through transparent images as PCX are a thing as well, then you choose some colour that doesn't occur elsewhere, and by convention the first pixel is the transparent colour. It also supports placement overlays, where the top left coordinate where to place the image is specified in the image file.
Theming idea 2: PAWN virtual machine with access to graphics functions.
Both these are suitable for an STM32 or something more capable than that. RP2040, ESP, etc
I would absolutely love to build this for my C7 Corvette Z06. It's got a 7-speed manual transmission and I currently have a custom spherical shift knob about the size of an 8-ball.
Is it 7 forward speeds + reverse? Also, isn´t the 8ball quite huge? Oh.. perhaps that was only the case for the magic 8 ball :)
I was actually thinking about taking on a similar project for a motorcycle engine swap im looking to do since I'll be going from an H pattern transmission to a sequential one. I'm really glad I found your series!
Also I'm a Suzuki driver.
I don´t understand. Do you mean putting a motorcycle engine inside a car?
@@upir_upir Yep, it's a little Kei Van so it's current engine is essentially a 660cc motorcycle engine slightly redesigned to be used in a mid engine configuration. So I'm looking to swap it with a more modern motorcycle engine to get a bit more than it's current 20ish HP, and to have parts locally available.
Ford with a 5 Speed.
Great video!!!!
Cool and thank you!
honda civic type R FK8 here!!! and i absolutely love this!!!!
That's a nice little display. Sadly I don't currently own any manual transmissions but I kinda want to make a couple soft gauges for my truck ('02 Ferd diesel) with the capability to read both analog sensors and OBD/ISO/etc telemetry and these might be perfect since I'd like to keep the accessory gauge cluster small and unobtrusive. You might want to look around at the STM32 based dev boards, the F103 "BluePill" form factor ones are about the same footprint as a 24 pin DIP and they've got enough horsepower do some fancy effects on a small RGB display. Only downside is it's not an AVR and there's some learning curve versus a proper Arduino, although I believe you can use the Arduino libraries on STM.
Thank you for your comment. I do plan to explore using ESP32. Would there be any advantage using the STM instead?
This is awesome. I drive a Mini and this would be really cool!
Thank you, I´m glad you like it! Yes, Mini is on the list for sure.
excellent video.. great find in the display
i'm going to try and make my own emblem for and esp32 and Arduino !!!
Sounds great, thank you for your comment and good luck with your project!
Skvělá práce, skvělá angličtina, skvělá kvalita
Díky, díky a - díky!
Two vehicles of mine are equipped with manual transmissions; a Ford Mustang GT, and a Nissan Hardbody. Of note, about 10 years ago when I bought my mustang, a popular accessory I found was a digital shift knob, somewhat similar to what you did on your second video about this project, except if I remember correctly, it used a gypo or some type of tilt sensor to know what position it was in, to then show the correct number on the display. You had to "teach" the shift knob where each gear was, and you put the control box inside the shift boot cover. It was also RGB and to change the color, you tilted the control box in your hand until you got the color you wanted, then set it. Maybe using motion detection to identify and display which gear you're in might be worth looking into? Might even end up being more self contained with less wiring and parts (I'm not at all aware how electronics like this work or how big they are however)
Thank you for your comment and providing additional details, that´s very appreciated! I have seen those digital shift knobs before, but it´s almost impossible to find any more details or high-res photos of even videos. I believe it was done using accelerometer, and while I would like to try that approach as well, I´m little bit worried that the accuracy will be low. I´m definitely trying to explore all the options to choose the simplest version.
Great video and I've already ordered this display to try out on my 2008 328xi e90 BMW
Thank you and good luck with your project!
@@upir_upir Thanks
Absolutně boží projekty a inspiruji se. Plánuju si dle tvého návodu udělat řadící páku do své Škody Fabie 1. Moc díky :)

Awsome work 👏 , You have made a great project here and the end result is 100% Awsome 😮
I drive a Subaru so would like to see the "STI"
Could it be possible at add a welcome animation as the vehicle starts ?
Thank you, I´m glad you like it! I will definitely put the STI on the list. I was thinking about the intro animation as well, I might try that.
Absolut amazing video👍.I leve it,even I didn't understand half of what you sayd,but was fun to watch.This video is for high knowledge people,but love it🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! It´s not super complicated, but you probably need to watch a few more beginner-friendly videos first.
I love your Project and the detailed explanation.
Can you add a "training program". It would show the Gear and a Timer on the display.
Then it cycles through all the gears and records the "position" each time the timer runs out.
This way the project would immediately become much more Universal.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, I´m looking into the possibility of using IMU instead of hall sensors and in that case, it would simplify a lot of things.
thank you for this!
It's quite refreshing to find a tutorial that actually walks you through the thought process of dealing with memory limitations on a board like the Arduino UNO & show that complex graphical interfaces are possible with a little bit of ingenuity & code-fu 😄
🤔I like both filament options... the black for a little stealth bling & the color changing for a bit of flash. 🐿as for the microcontroller, I'd love to see it on the tiny ATmega328P powered board just to prove that it is good enough for a shift indicator (I feel the ESP would be wasted on the project unless you want it to also send the shifter information to a custom dash or heads up display 👈🤓now there's a fun little potential project)
Looking forward to your next steps... perhaps we'll finally see the finished product?
Thank you for your comment and all the ideas! I will try to explore all the options, and yes, I also hope that someday it will be a finished product, but for now, there is still a lot to learn for me.
Love to see how you can utilise Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C6 in a similar project say include ambient led lights in the vehicle. Love the detail shown. You got a new subscriber :)
Thank you for your subscribe! Yes, I´m looking at all the XIAO boards right now, I will definitely use some of those.
e90 335i! I would like to try this on mine sometime. I already have the illuminated M5 shifter knob retrofitted into mine, but this is something else!!
Cool! I´m sure it would look very nice. Is that cable for the illuminated shifter knob +15V I guess?
you could take an ODBII rev signal and add a red SHIFT! light to the gearstick when you go over max rpm...
Yes, I do plan to look into getting data from canbus via OBDII to have some additional data. Thank you for the suggestion!
2022 Toyota corolla hatch, that shifter orientation is exactly how it is in my car, this is definitely a mod that I would do on my car, its too cool not to!
Thank you for your nice words, I will definitely add Toyota to the list!
Great channel, amazing project. I drive a 2015 Chevrolet SS manual (Holden Commodore SS).
That’s surely a great looking car! Thank you for your comment, I’m glad you like it!
Great video
!
Thank you!
I have a old land rover defender i would love it there was some way of flashing current gear while driving? Video is sick tho very informative keep it up👌🏻
Yes, that´s the ultimate goal, but it will probably take me some time to get there.. I´m glad you enjoyed the video!
That's really cool and well explained. Have you thought about using the can bus interface to get signals from the car for the current gear?
Yes, that´s something I would like to explore more, but right now I have zero experience with this. Have you try that?
@@upir_upir I have not tried it yet but I am looking into it as it is something I am planning to use on my 370z. It requires extra hardware like a can bus transceiver which I don't have yet
I have a Saleen S281- a custom Saleen shifter display would be awesome (6 speed) . I would even be interested in purchasing the project from you!
this looks way to good already😍
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
I'm driving a 2015 Fiesta St right now, the ST logo would look nice I think
Definitely, I’m sure the ST logo would look great.
Since you use white images for your labels you could probably use a single channel image and that would allow you to store a second set at a lower intensity (for the grey). Not sure what the encoding is for 16-bit image (5-bits per channel?). You could probably do bit-shift and bit-OR to recreate the color pixels in 16-bit. I think it would be cheaper than the floating point math required for true tinting. You could even go with palette based approach, that's how the old game consoles did it.
Yep, I was thinking about something similar, i.e. storing labels as 8bit grayscale, which would result in images in half the size. I might try that.
0:26 Tesla Model 3 Performance (no gears so this one is not for me, but great job for making this available to others with manual gearbox)…
This is very cool - Nissan 5 speed - I have a hardbody & 300zx that this would definitely enhance the style!
As if the 300zx wasn´t cool looking enough :)
I drive an E39 M5 so yours is always perfect 😊
Cool, I knew there has to be at least one person out there!
2024 GR86... I absolutely would love to throw something like this in there. Absolutely incredible project!
As if the GR86 would not already be a great looking car. Thank you for your comment, let´s see how it goes..
10th Gen Honda Civic Si would be awesome for a shifter display. This is a great and unique idea
Nice, looks very 😎. All of the displays look good.
Maybe a certain car manufacturer would sponsor you.!?👍
Thank you! Not quite sure about the sponsoring part, but let’s wait and see 🙂
Gotta love this video series, interesting and educational! Can't wait to see this in a real car (i drive a 2007 ford focus btw)
Thank you for your comment, I’m glad you did it useful. Funnily enough, I have the very same car!
@@upir_upir nicee, good ol reliable ford focus. Mine has really lived a life, being to nearly all of north africa. My dad bought it when it was first released.
Nice display!
You could export the labels in a custom format, with one byte per pixel indicating how white it is, so 0 is black and 255 is white. This would halve the image size. Also, you can use this information to calculate the tint color even for the borders transparency, as in reality this 0-255 color is not really "how white it is", but the alpha channel of the color you want to display. This is a nice improvement in program memory, and in the final look, but would require more work and calculations to compute the color at runtime as the color mix of black + tint with alpha.
Good idea, thank you for your suggestion. I was also thinking about storing labels are grayscale 1byte images and using a color lookup table, but it would be probably too much for UNO. However, since I´m moving to ESP32, I will revisit the idea. Not for the memory savings, but more for the flexibility of animating the color tint. Still the RGB565 is not that straightfoward compared to RGB888, since three colors are spread across only two bytes..
Using a palette might be a good idea to compress the central image, but given the gradients I don't know if it would be good
It was meant for mapping the grayscale image to color images, but ESP had probably enough power to calculate it on the fly.
I drive a kia soul automatic but I still found this to be a cool video thanks
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
It is so cool, didn't even knew this display existed!
I drive a 2005 Honda Jazz Sport GD :D
I´m glad it was helpful!
JEEP - I drive a 1999 Jeep and this Display would look amazing in it. The Logo in the center could just be the word 'Jeep' in their style of text.
Thank you for making these videos. 😀 Well Done.
Sure, putting Jeep on the list! Thank you for your comment and your nice word. I appreciate it.
Excellent 😮 project. One thing I really like is that you didn't change the board 😊…….. I ❤ atmega 328p
Thank you. Yep, I love the UNO. It´s slow and have very limited memory. However, once you make it work with UNO, any next step should be easy.
this would be insane as a replacement for the logo on my stock e46 shifter. its the same style of glass and looks to be around the same size
