My ambient temp gauge's lcd gave up like they do on almost all of the old 940s and I decided to re-use the super stealthy place for a nice diy arduino boost gauge. Parts list: Arduino Nano MPX5700AP pressure sensor 128x32 OLED 12v to 5v DC converter Code Some photos here And a short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2ml0koxlxM&t |

![]() Thanks dudes!
I knew that someone else could like this idea too! @Jack - it's an Arduino Nano, so you use arduino software + a mini or micro usb cable to program it. Tutorial here - I actually glued the usb cable to the arduino (dirty way) and routed it under dash, so I can re-program it whenever I want to. I am also thinking of creating a EGT gauge using the same parts, just a different sensor. But this wont be for a volvo, but for my 1.9tdi vw, as for diesels EGT is super critical :D And you can always add a button to it (wire any button to it) and use it to switch between modes n stuff - boost, egt, ambient temp etc. But then i would suggest using a bigger arduino or add extra memory or just write a super good code, so it can store it. Another idea was to maybe try and make a trip computer out of it, to measure fuel consumption, I read somewhere that lh2.4 actually have a trip computer pin, for those super rare volvos...but that is just an idea right now, I am actually selling my volvo, as I am moving back to Latvia soon. I might get another one there and play around a bit more. hehe |

![]() Fuk yeah
I always hated my a pillar boost gauge in the 850 but thought the vent ones were particularly stupid Egt would be awesome too |

![]() I don't know what an arduino can do, so I'll ask.
Can you run 2 of those displays off of one arduino? I have a 1967 Galaxie and it has cut out sections in the dash where a temperature and oil pressure idiot lights were. Look Here The light windows are rectangular and about the same size as the Volvo Temp guage window. This would be an awesome way to turn my idiot lights into real guages. |

But I do have a quick question. Would you rather the lady leave her dogs poo in your yard or put it in your garbage can?

I am waiting for more of those oleds and when i get them I might give it a go on using two screens, two different sensors and different codes on my Arduino Uno. There are videos too And I suggest getting a kit like this, as then you have the chance to play around with bunch of cool things. Last edited by karlis; 09-12-2017 at 03:36 AM.. |

![]() That would be awesome aswell, just need to buy or build a lamda controller and make it output to arduino, then you can do whatever with that data, even send it to your phone via bluetooth or wifi, or what the heck, make it available online via 4g modem - lol...imagine, a website where people can check your afr as of right now, stupid, but still cool :D
