Looks very trick dude, seriously smart stuff there. How's the rest of the car progressing?
That brought a smile to my face.

I'm sure the club strippers would put me right but I believe it's
1. reaction time (you probably won't need that unless you are going to get it to count down)
2. 60ft time
3. 330ft time
4. 1/8th time and mph
5. 1000ft time and MPH
6. Quarter mile time and MPH
You could just put it in quarter mile "mode" and start counting from the moment the speedo / odo starts registering or if you have the ability or code space give it a 5 second count down with either beeper or dash virtual lights (now that would be cool!).
You know, I hadn't even considered that - I always get a clean get away
But in all seriousness, how much will a small amount of spin really skew the actual 1/4 mile reading? Say 20 feet in 1320 which is approx 1.5% error in distance / time. I can live with that
Next excuse!?
Great point, OK you need the Arduino GPS add on then

Oh and upgrade to one of these bad boys!

Nice work.
I've a stack st700 in another project.... which you seem to have built.
so I'd say
Display rpm
oil temp
water temp
peak rpm
peak speed
peak temps
can you make it a sequential shift light?
Yeah not as quick as I would like!
That is super cool.
I finally got around to adjusting my tacho you build so it worked with 8 cylinders (4 pulses). It was as simple as you said so the zed gauge is now calibrated spot on with my ECU numbers. I still need to find a solution for the speedo.
This is awesome to see Russell, I often wonder what could be achieved with Arduino/Pi in a classic car. Just goes to show with the right experience you could put a lot of modern tech in a classic car relatively inexpensively... foregoing cost of time.
Cheers,
Technically you can do whatever you want.
Everything I have done here is just maths based on the information the arduino has access to (Pulse from the Gearbox and time).
Wait until you see what I am doing with the Tacho. That will be a lot smarter as it will receive multiple inputs directly from the ECU as well as being connected to an Wideband AFR, Oil Temperature and Boost pressure sensor.
All providing information to a tiny screen at the right time without any input from the driver at all (In colour as well...)
Not actually started that one yet so give me another couple of years...
