Agreed. I will speed it up a little in the next iteration. Thankfully as someone pointed out, it´s just tweaking a variable value in the code.
@yungpharm91 11 днів тому
What’s actually “slow”? Are you actually needing to look down to see what gear you’re in? It’s just a cool gadget. What is needed for “practical”? Having said that, if it’s speed up, that’s cool too. 😊

@@yungpharm91 lets be real, here. while i agree that it is a gimmick, the creator took the criticism REALLY well and actually plans on speeding up the animation. also, like he said, its just tweaking a variable value in the code sketch. im just starting to program myself and am starting to realize that criticisms like this are actually really, really useful for inventors and diyers alike lol no hate. just saying he is 100% right about the animation being too slow. if this was used on say,, a digital dashboard for a sim racing rig, it could be distracting and .001 seconds can make a world of difference when racing for money lol

Use a hollow tube for the shift shaft and use a round cable that's meant to repeatedly bend, such as some silicone USB cable. Then you can stick the cable through the shift shaft and hide the cable entirely. If you use some serial protocol for the shift knob assembly, you could also integrate buttons for special car functions or such into it.

Maybe I've missed something, but what is the use case for this. having to look down at the gear knob to see what gear you're in kind of defeats the need for the display, because you can see the physical position of the knob to determine what gear you're in. The display in your eyeline when driving would make more sense. Love the design and attention to detail, just not sure how useful this is.
@upir_upir 10 днів тому
The primary use-case is to have something unusual looking in your car, maybe a conversation starter or simply something for the passenger to look at. If you have a proper race car, you can use this technique and mount the display on the dashboard instead.
