You have no idea how much this helps me out and gives me peace of mind, I own an SVT focus and they aren't equipped with an oil temp sensor, However the oil temp gauge displays a value based off of coolant temperature and mass air pressure, being able to actually see my oil temp now is a blessing, Thank you lmao
That gauge turned out 👌 and I like that location as well. If you were to add a warning light or buzzer my vote would be to keep it in the gauge housing to keep the dash clean.
Wow-wee! What's up Mike?!?... I'm Jeremy's brother. Landcruiser is looking great! Totally stumbled upon your video on this. I'm in a years long project of making my own digital dashboard for my vw hippie bus. Going to creep your videos now. Hope all is well for you!!
Good to hear from you! Thought you sold the bus!? For sure, hit me up or swing on over and I can help you sort that out. I’m getting pretty versed at this sort of thing! Cheers.
Thanks for sharing. I'm having Nissan Serina very old and my heat meter not working at all and replacement not available. Your idea will help me a lot. Thanks .
why is it only smart guys like you have diesels GRRRRR i have a 1966 D200 slant 6 and wanted to make a dash gauge for my air fual ratio from an o2 sensor but just cant find anything that's new or a walk though like you have done.. i like your video ! awesome job
Thanks for your comment. Doing a O2 sensor would be that much different than what I did. They make a Wideband O2 sensor and shield for the Arduino. The tricky part would be calibrating the min and max values. The data sheet for the sensor may say what those values would be. Hooking is up would be the easy part, adjusting the code Sonia make sense in the gauge would be a little involved. Try the Arduino forum. I’m sure someone has done it.
Arduino boards also take 9v direct connection. There is not a lot of 12-9v adapters. My Land Cruiser is 24V and I just use a USB adapter from my 24v-12v step-down convertor. Cheers.
Hello! It is a very interesting video but some doubts have arisen when I see the installation. Is your sensor touching the water or pipe it is passing through? If you don't touch the water directly, wouldn't you have a "false" reading of the actual water temperature? I would love to do the same for oil pressure, temperature... but finding parts for ISO metrics and calibrating the sensors in arduino is impossible for me. Thank you!
Thanks for commenting. You are absolutely correct. It does not touch the water thus it will be several degrees cooler. As I mentioned the video, I know when the thermostat opens and made a mental note when I see a sudden change in this temp gauge. There is a mathematical difference. I still have the one in the dash wired. The gauge as wired gives a digital readout on how hot the engine and engine bay get. Just more info for me when wheeling and dive accordingly. The "proper" way to use this gauge is pull out the factory Toyota water sensor and measure its resistance from freezing and at various temps to boiling. I can them program that resistance curve in the Arduino and then I would have an accurate water temp gauge. I may do that. As for the oil pressure gauge, you can do the same. All you have to do is get a compressor, attach it to the gauge and measure the resistance and various pressure. Use that resistance curve in the Arduino program. Cheers.
Mike, love the videos, just wondering if you had an alternate link to the code you used for this project, the link in the description is not working. Appreciate any help :)

Genius at work

amazing video I didn't know it was that easy, but you can also put power directly to the board right? or does it have to go trouh the usb port?

Links are fixed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention., cheers
@@MikeFreda Thanks Mike, all good now :)
amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
