So we opted to go the fancy route and swap our Miata gauge cluster for a supercar-like digital dash! Now the problem is that we can’t read fuel levels or oil pressure! So today we fixed those problems by adding some aftermarket bits to our ECU!
Money Pit is where you get to learn about cars as we work on them. Each ep we’ll breakdown how each component works and then we’ll upgrade it. Join us in our journey to build cool cars, learn about them, and drive the crap out of them!
Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

It seems like the adjustment they’re doing is trying to compensate a bit, but it can’t predict the future (between when data comes to the digital dash every 0.5 second or so) well enough to actually make it look smooth. I imagine there’s a fundamental limitation to how often they can poll data from the ECU and any compensation beyond that is a band-aid.

Legit loved seeing someone go in depth into something that is pretty easy if you already have a functioning knowledge of wire running, using a multimeter, and proper wire splicing techniques. But the bit about solder being more brittle if it isn’t heated enough - makes sense and I’ve seen it, but I just though that was my shitty soldering, not an inherent property of the solder!! Also, when soldering (for those not in the know) tin the tips of the soldering iron by melting some solder onto it when it heats, removing any unnecessary excess, and tin the tips of the wires before connecting them. It will make the process and final product that much better. And it will save your iron tips! The crimps he used may have been the high quality solder filled crimp fittings, they are much more secure and as you saw can be heat shrunk around themselves to seal out any moisture and debris. Excellent video man!

I am old but not to old to learn and that did seem fairly easy... I think that the wiring in new wires and not making a mess of that is the key to success. I seen a older cadillac that had the digital dash and they were nice when working but those rigs were blessed with a lot of other problems that made them not so nice or a mechanic's nightmare.

I’m loving the fact that the dash uses either a raspberry pi or raspbian os to run on because there is the raspberry in the bottom left when he is on the phone with the guy. There is also the chromium symbol which means it is a lower spec system
@GOPACKERSJT
@GOPACKERSJT 2 роки тому
I'm pretty sure it's a pi zero. I think part of the "lag" is actually system response. Look at him just trying to navigate the menus. I'd love to get an image of that OS and clone it to a Pi 4 system. I'm willing to bet it's night and day faster. It's Rasbian for sure though, you can see the icon.

A tip on soldering (16:54): press the tip against the wire and touch the solder to the spot where the wire and tip meet. This will melt the solder around the tip and on to the wire which creates a really good thermal contact at that point. This will heat everything up quicker and more localized. This will help prevent overheating the wire and causing the insulation (or wire/components/whatever you're soldering) to burn.
