Like a rolling stone … back in 1965, when Bob Dylan first sang about an uppity young lass that rode on a chrome horse with her diplomat, the instrument panel on the recently introduced 1965 Chevelle ...

There are some things that just never seem to go out of style with hot rods: five-spokes, three-two's, and analog (mechanical) gauges. But in an era that's nearly consumed by electronics, mechanical ...

Analog cars are good, not just because the chances of them tracking you are lower, but because there was just a bit more soul to them. Obviously, that’s my very powerful nostalgia talking, but when it ...

This article describes the simple setup and explains the code to drive analog meters using PWM outputs from an Arduino and the LCD Smartie program. They also replace the meter face to show the proper ...

The never-ending hunt for power is a common one for project car builders and sometimes it's so encapsulating, that we forget about the other crucial factors that can affect and even support those ...

Now, someone on the ESP32 subreddit has posted a cool project that uses retro gauges as trackers for your smart home. And while this particular project uses one as a CO2 tracker, ...

While working on his masters degree in controls and robotics, Hack-A-Day reader [Kenn Sebesta] developed a cheap method for digitally reading analog gauges. This method was necessitated by needing to ...

The project illustrates the driving of analog meters using PWM outputs from Arduino as well as the LCD Smartie program. A small current is typically required by meters to operate wherein a typical ...

Way back some time ago, an Arsian did a wooden case build that had analog gauges in the front. The needle twitched for HDD access, but didnt really display any meaningful information. In order to do ...
