Project in progress

RetroFuture Dash

Overview


This project uses C++ for realtime RPM sensing and LED/VFD display. Vacuum Fluorescent Displays are considered obsolete by some, but have a beautiful glow in the dark. This was designed with an 80's hacker aesthetic that you can't buy off the shelf or build from any kitt!

Cross-domain design


I use Fusion360 since it integrates PCB and 3D printing design in one tool. This 3D scan allows me to fit the gauge and build mounting brackets in the cramped, complex geometry of the front fairing

Results


I've since sold the bike, but I still have this. I'm sure I'll find a use for it another project
