ethanol content gauge group buy..?

GROUP BUY IS CLOSED. I will update when the displays arrive
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Displays have been shipped to everyone. Here is the datasheet that describes the connections:

http://ws.wamnet.com/~gryan/CESCP-0205.pdf

I'd recommend making sure the brightness is set how you want it before you get it all buttoned up


------------------------------------------------------------------------------





A bunch of people have asked me how I did my ethanol content LCD display. It uses a GM fuel composition sensor and a custom display a company designed and built for me. The company is in Serbia so the shipping sucks. I made a post on EvoM offering to order some more if people want them, so I'm offering it up here too. I'm not making any money on them, just helping people that want them get them..

You have to get your own GM sensor from ebay/junkyard/etc for the display to work

Here is the datasheet describing it: http://workspace.wamnet.com/~gryan/fuel%20monitor.pdf

This is it in my car:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=288793

If 5 people want them, its $152 per display + $32 shipping
If 10 people want them, its $147 per display + $19 shipping

Standard backlight color is yellow/green, can get whatever color you want for $8 more.

edit - just a clarification -
This doesn't include a 0-5V analog output, it's just a gauge

I am going to leave this up a bit longer for anyone else to jump in that wants to and then I will collect the money and order them now that theres 5 people

Just FYI 6 people have signed up. Theres 3 more people that are in if they can get the 10 person pricing. So if one more person signs up everyone gets them for $147 + $19 shipping
