Can Bus to Analog

Well we haven't been good at updating the blogs.  As my son said yesterday.  We are too busy doing things to write about them.  Which is only partly true.  But we do enjoy doing more than documenting.

We've done lots of cool stuff.  Last night we took a can bus signal (RPM values from an E46) and turned them into an analog signal.

E36 analog tach in foreground.  E46 Can Bus tach in the back ground.

    1. Apply 12V+ voltage to the "Signal Locator Lighting" pin. On my cluster it is located on connector X11175 pin 7.

    1. Sounds possible depending on your skill and hardware.
