Progress on my digital instrument cluster program

Another small update as well as pt 2 of my project

Pretty much the same as last time but displayed on the transfelctive screen. pretty happy with how it looks in person but there is a bit of glare, i think it's from the touchscreen. I thought the touchscreen overlay was removable but it's bonded on there pretty well. I'm not concerned though, I'll just order a second display w/o the touchscreen and use this one for pt 2 of the project (see below)

so since i'm going to add modern features to the car (power windows, cruise control, seat heaters.. etc). i didnt want to much up the interior too much with a bunch of switches. so I decided to make a "jarvis"-like command center. It'll have a knob sitting on top of the display and as i click through the menus it'll display different controls for the car. This will tie into my cluster to let me know which menus are being displayed. This will allow me to use some of the basic features w/o taking my eyes off the road (common issue with touch screens). This will be installed horizontally in the center console.

here is a breakdown of functionality if anyone is interested:

Power locks (double tap on the knob will lock single tap unlock)

Power windows -- double tap will roll up all windows, single tap will lower all windows

Seat heater --no frills here. Just tap up or down to go through the different temp settings

Cruise control --double tap will disengage (as well as a tapping on the brakes), single tap will engage, press and hold will accelerate



Misc menu:
Fuel door release -- servo driven lic plate lowering
Intermittent wiper control -- master control is factory location for in/off. This just adjust intermittent wipers if desired
Rear view camera -- simply turns on the back up cam (when not automatically engage on reverse).
