Re: Mechanical speedometer drive solution

Not exactly related to what you’re doing, but I was at the local pick n pull yesterday and on a whim grabbed a cluster from a 98 Silverado that looked similar in layout to what the thread by ls1nova, where he uses an s10 speedo retrofit to his gauges.

I disassembled it, just to get some ideas, and after looking things over I don’t think I’ll be able to use it due to the configuration of the board vs odometer, but really got me thinking more about solutions. I know you’re trying to drive a “cable” but how in the world does no one manufacture a little board to run one of these stepper motors like the stock layout? The whole doodad could be assembled for like $35. Especially since it seems like the 4K signal is pretty standard for gm.

I saw the video and other threads of folks using an arduino for that, but now one ever shows it working in a vehicle.
