Season 3 working dashboard questions
Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2014 1:45 am
I found a graphic of the season 3 dash:
I was wondering what everyone's hooked it up to so that the meters and indicators on there actually work instead of just look pretty.
The compass, I can tell, just hook it up to a compass or GPS.
Speedometer Panel:
Mi/Trip/Range - odometer, tripmeter, and range left in the tank; has anyone actually set this up to work correctly?
signal/tuning - ?
lo, hi, uhf, vhf, etc - ?
number things at the bottom - ?
RPM Panel:
inlet °F ?
egt °F ?
fuel gals - fuel gauge
oil °F - oil temp gauge that everyone has in the car
oil PSI?
fuel flow gph?
Extra panel:
vdc ?
amp ?
aux power ?
attack / sust / delay / del; program no. -?
power / normal / auto/pursuit - just lights with the real buttons elsewhere, or real buttons?
I'm looking into starting a season 3 dashboard KITT with an LCD touchscreen that has GPS, and mp3 playback, video game emulator, SSD and bluetooth integration for wireless calling, maybe include Windows 8/9 for using Skype for video calling. Basically, if I drop as much cash as the KITT replica hobby requires, I want to make sure that every gauge is doing something that makes some sense.
The next question is - what's the overhead console in season 3 look like?
Thirdly - the lower console, what all have you hooked into it aside from door/window controls?
And finally, how do you handle AC/heating in KITT? Doesn't the dash cover the vents and make it hard to cool off on a hot day? Does defrost work normally? Despite being a replica car, it should be functional if I'm going to go with it.
