Nice work Paul, you must know your stuff when it comes to electrics.
Maybe there is a market for them, apply for Dragons den next time

Top job Paul.
You must be able to sell them especially as the others are very expensive.
I'd buy one. Just wish my fingers could do all that delicate stuff.
Thanks for the pictures. It just shows what can be done when needs must.

genius paul. i would most def buy a ready made one from you

arboorman · Dec 18, 2011

Sorry, I'm being really dim...

How do I find the photos?

I'd definately be interested - been looking a rev counter for a Td5 for ages!

Shifty1962 · Dec 18, 2011

Go to his profile and have a look at his TD5 Van gallery. Simples.

If you make up a batch of 20 you would have them sold on here within a week.
Me being top of the list. excellent looking gauge.

Shifty1962 · Dec 18, 2011

The other option would be to make up the circuit boards and let peeps sort their own gauge or display out. All they'd have to do is connect the LEDs.

Hamsterberg · Dec 18, 2011

Would be up for one of them

Paul Boscott · Dec 19, 2011

Due to popular request over Christmas I will look at the options

One produce a custom PCB plus kit of parts including Leds but not the Housing for you to build

Two produce a built and tested circuit board but with leds for you to attach and fit to what ever

Three produce an all up rev counter in a Landover looking case for you to fit into the existing hole in dash. Connections Plus 12 volts, Ground, Pin 19 ECU and Back Light

or any other combination you would like ?

Would those of you interested please let me know you preferred option then I can look at pricing

To Moderator if you feel that this has now turned in to an advertisement please move it to an appropriate place (IM new here)

If you produce an all up rev counter in a Landover looking case, all ready to do the final electrickery connections, then you might just be on to a serious winner!!

Good luck with your production line!!

Sean · Dec 19, 2011

No 3 for me please

arboorman · Dec 19, 2011

Cheers Shifty!! I'll get to grips with this 'white mans magic' one day! I can do chainsaws ok but computers are beyond me!!

Defo count me in on a land rover style rev counter - reckon you could be on for a winner here

ade666 · Dec 19, 2011

full made up unit for me too please.

Shifty1962 · Dec 19, 2011

Option two for me. My fingers and soldering iron are not delicate enough to start soldering ICs.

Paul Boscott · Dec 20, 2011

Could I have advise on the led colours?
As it stands I have put leds every 250 revs

250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, amber ie to low

1750, 2000, 2250, 2500, 2750, 3000, 3250, 3500, 3750 green OK

4000 amber getting to high

4250, 4500, 4750 red to high

I invite comments

Paul
