Hi Everyone. As you might notice, the poll is missing... Well, I had really great results!! (96.72% voted to support my idea of offering automotive gauge kits). So, without further ado, I would like to introduce chippernut.com.
I know -- goofy name -- but it will be all business (well, and some fun) as I work to release the first gauge kits before Q4-2014. I've had overwhelming support and great conversations with like-minded individuals (you know who you are). Thank you to everyone that has emailed, messaged, and commented. You are the reason I'm doing this!!! I know I've asked this a lot of you, but please be patient as I work to get everything up and running. I want to make sure I'm 100% ready. In the meantime, please stop by the new site -- I'll be adding new features weekly.. Including a blog, forums, eCommerce site, and other stuff. :-)

I installed the 2JZduino from http://thedeltaecho.wordpress.com/2jzduino/ so far it's working great! Like all tuning, it's going to take some time before I feel confident in my tuning and the EMS. More to come on this.
In other news, I have a lot of feedback on the shift light - I will be revising my design for v2. The signal pickup transistor in the schematic is not a proper application (go figure, it works great on my car). So I'll be revising for NPN, PNP, and Opto-isolator signal pickup. This will probably occur over the next-month, I'm devoting a few weeks to a side-project (a high-speed, high-accuracy waveform generator for calibrating industrial test equipment).
Thanks for stopping by!

I've had a lot of comments and questions about my shift light, so I put up some schematics to help explain how I wired it. Check them out on the Shift Light page. Thanks for stopping by!

I've been toying with the idea of creating a company that specializes in DIY gauges for racing, enthusiast, and tuner applications. I've got plans for RPM, boost/vac, Exhaust gas, temperature, and more. The gauges would feature an LED display surrounded by the LED neopixel rings from adafruit. Either a rotary bezel or touchscreen (!!!) for interface control. All housed in a 3D printed 52mm gauge. If you have a moment, please let me know what you think about this idea by answering my poll above. Thanks!!

Updated the website. I also finished the Arduino Shift Light - see the details here.
