Here are a few I found.









Hows that, but these were several versions ago, they have changed a bunch by now.

It is neat stuff man, we need to figure out a way to datalog every engine parameter we can, hell every car parameter we can.
Good data will help our cars be better and faster.

Default They're Here!

Boards just came in. Pics attached.

I hope to start getting these assembled today. you will see that the display board has been revised to hold two different encoders. The reverse-mount large Bourns with an extended life, and a much smaller and less expensive ALPS product, which is stocked by several suppliers. The Bourns is a custom order part... so we should be future proof now on components.

Will update with more pics as I start assembling.

Thanks
Hans

Assembled rear AC module, with AA battery to show scale.

Hope to get to the other things soon. Found a small error on the card-edge board.... must have gotten a bad package drawing from the fuse holder manufacturer. I can still assemble the board, but the fuse holders have to hang under... not the way i designed it. They will work for testing, and I will just make those changes before having them mass produced.

Thanks
Hans

First I've seen them as well, despite this thread popping up week after week.

I will say that those ***** are way fugly though.

Need something much more modern - don't try to replicate the outdated 928 *****!

Randy, I think you not only missed the pictures, but you also missed some of the thread, as the buttons have been discussed before.
It became clear that not one solution would please everyone, so we decided to go with the most generic and the style that blends the most in the 928 interior.
Buttons are standard and an easy swap for those who will want to further customise their set up.

The timing on this is awesome - and I'm really looking forward to seeing a demo video when all is said and done. I'm really interested in one of these.

Can't wait to see the finished products.

Hope you guys don't mind if I throw in my .928 cent worth in.

Maybe a second generation with touch screen (Photo Chopped)

Hey Max,

we have made that change a while back:





I am not a big fan of posting pictures of parts still in development, but we have tried to show the direction of where we are going as much as we can.

This particular project as taken a life of it's own and has so many components and so many variations that it's a little bit like hurding cats.

Here are a couple more pictures of what a leather cover for the new insert will look like:
