As many mentioned on PLA, I only use it for fast prototyping as it's cheap and I also use an ugly colour just to make sure It stays as prototype. Once I'm happy I go to the final material ASA, PETG, or PET CF, I would probably recommend ASA or PET CF for car interior parts, but that depends on your printed capability and if you have an enclosure.

[@imvandam]

This is awesome. I had the same idea about 10 years ago. I tried LED's, fibre optics, PICAXE chip on a custom board with SMLED's more. I then had to grind out the top of the gear cap to get room and cut out the numbers to get the light to show through. but then that light would show across all the numbers and I needed a way to fill the numbers with something clear. Then I got a 3D printer and hopes of finishing my project where raised again. while this did allow me to get closer, I still had problems with it all. getting power up to the 'display' getting the chip to decode signals from the 5 switches the LED's being mounted in a way for two colours with out bleeding through. Now I find you project and I'm going to have to copy you as what you have done is awesome and I have learned so much watching your videos. I can't wait to see your finished product. Keep up the good work! Oh mine will be going into a VW T5 camper van when I get it done.

It would be awesome if someone would take this even further by making it able to track the shifter location itself so you won't even need to take any info from the car(about which gear its in). Also, I think it'd be nice if you create a couple different iterations of shifter types such as ones that have the reverse gear on the left (many Volkswagen). For alternative visuals Mercedes, Audi, Renault, Fiat, Citroen, Peugeot, MG, DS, Land Rover, Seat, Skoda, Bentley and Jaguar are good options for Europeans. All these would take too much time tho lol.

I´m actually experimenting with this using the accelerometer. Let´s see how it goes...

[@kiztime1234]

@@upir_upir I wonder if the 'power' in the car is dirty enough that there's some way to filter out an rpm signal from it?

[@atillathehung2000]

I see Upir’s response, and if anyone could figure it out here I think it’s him, but I don’t think it would be as reliable without the tcm being the source of the current gear information. It would be cool, but if you’re slamming through gears, of course because some kid thinks his civic with the only aftermarket parts being his muffler and the fake hood pins is faster, then I feel like the accelerometer may have a difficult time. What if you almost miss fifth and money shift into third but happen to slam it over just barely touching the entrance to third and grinding the stick on the flat over to fifth? I feel like it may have some problems with that. I think you automatics that have the auto stick/manual shifting mode that uses the shifter to push left for up and right for down it might work.

[@zincfive]

You can follow his lead, he's scratching his itch, you go ahead and scratch yours, you are 99% of the way there. Go ahead if you want to do do Volkswagen, Mercedes, Audi, Renault, Fiat, Citroen, Peugeot, MG, DS, Land Rover, Seat, Skoda, Bentley and Jaguar and "other good options for Europeans."

Fantastic project, this randomly got dropped in my KZbin feed. You did mention it at the end, so you're probably going that route anyway, but I would highly suggest going with any ESP32 board with enough pins (should be almost all of them). Just to have a microcontroller with a clock speed that isn't from the 90s. More memory is nice, but that work is done now anyway (and I would have used an approach like yours anyway). It does also solve the color-problem where you said "doing this color tinting in the proper way would take too much CPU cycles", with easy.

Very nice tutorial. As a computer science student, this video remembered what I seen in the digital image processing class, it's quite a very cool practical introduction to bitmap images in programming. Also, holy moly, this screen is very awesome, it sparked some ideas like integrating this with the OBD2 port existent in cars. My 7th gen Honda Civic (Automatic) have the gear selection as a digital information (since there's a soft illuminated gear selector in the panel), but I'm not sure if the gear data is available in the OBD2 port - my dad is a mechanic so he has a scanner and it don't have the gear information, but could be a limitation from the scanner itself. Despite this, an universal approach would be crossing the data from the engine RPM with the road speed, as the ratio could be calculated to guess the gear the car is gated tho. And yes, I drive an old Honda Civic :D

I had this exact idea a few years ago with a tachometer around the edge of the display as well as current gear, I have it in the unrealized section of my notebook.

[@upir_upir]

Maybe it´s time to finish it? I would love to see it. Do you have some photos/videos of your project somewhere? Thank you!

[@SirKittyMcMittens]

Two vehicles of mine are equipped with manual transmissions; a Ford Mustang GT, and a Nissan Hardbody. Of note, about 10 years ago when I bought my mustang, a popular accessory I found was a digital shift knob, somewhat similar to what you did on your second video about this project, except if I remember correctly, it used a gypo or some type of tilt sensor to know what position it was in, to then show the correct number on the display. You had to "teach" the shift knob where each gear was, and you put the control box inside the shift boot cover. It was also RGB and to change the color, you tilted the control box in your hand until you got the color you wanted, then set it. Maybe using motion detection to identify and display which gear you're in might be worth looking into? Might even end up being more self contained with less wiring and parts (I'm not at all aware how electronics like this work or how big they are however)

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your comment and providing additional details, that´s very appreciated! I have seen those digital shift knobs before, but it´s almost impossible to find any more details or high-res photos of even videos. I believe it was done using accelerometer, and while I would like to try that approach as well, I´m little bit worried that the accuracy will be low. I´m definitely trying to explore all the options to choose the simplest version.

[@treelineresearch3387]

That's a nice little display. Sadly I don't currently own any manual transmissions but I kinda want to make a couple soft gauges for my truck ('02 Ferd diesel) with the capability to read both analog sensors and OBD/ISO/etc telemetry and these might be perfect since I'd like to keep the accessory gauge cluster small and unobtrusive. You might want to look around at the STM32 based dev boards, the F103 "BluePill" form factor ones are about the same footprint as a 24 pin DIP and they've got enough horsepower do some fancy effects on a small RGB display. Only downside is it's not an AVR and there's some learning curve versus a proper Arduino, although I believe you can use the Arduino libraries on STM.

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your comment. I do plan to explore using ESP32. Would there be any advantage using the STM instead?

[@CodeNaked]

Great channel, amazing project. I drive a 2015 Chevrolet SS manual (Holden Commodore SS).

[@upir_upir]

That’s surely a great looking car! Thank you for your comment, I’m glad you like it!

[@bowlofduck]

Woah, this is amazing. I drive a 350z. CD009 transmission, which is also widely used in many swaps

[@upir_upir]

Thank you. 350z is definitely on the list.

[@danielluedecke9622]

Mustang driver here with the gt350 shift pattern. The normal manual Mustang is the same pattern you show in this video. The difference of the transmission in them is reverse up and left for regular Mustang and reverse up and right for gt500 gt350 and Mach 1 transmission

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for the clarification, I will try to support as many shifter patterns as possible.

[@THEOGGUNSHOW]

Great video and I've already ordered this display to try out on my 2008 328xi e90 BMW

[@upir_upir]

Thank you and good luck with your project!

It is so cool, didn't even knew this display existed! I drive a 2005 Honda Jazz Sport GD :D

[@upir_upir]

I´m glad it was helpful!

[@SianaGearz]

Customisable theming idea 1: Use PCX image format with palette and RLE compression with 1 plane. It can be decoded straight into the display without maintaining much intermediate state at all. Punch through transparent images as PCX are a thing as well, then you choose some colour that doesn't occur elsewhere, and by convention the first pixel is the transparent colour. It also supports placement overlays, where the top left coordinate where to place the image is specified in the image file. Theming idea 2: PAWN virtual machine with access to graphics functions. Both these are suitable for an STM32 or something more capable than that. RP2040, ESP, etc

[@XBullitt16X]

This is such a cool idea, I'd love to see manufacturers incorporate this into their shifters in future.

[@upir_upir]

Thank you, but I´m sure this is against all the regulations, I don´t think it will be part of shifter knobs anytime soon.. most likely shifter knobs will not be in cars soon.

[@snakezdewiggle6084]

Nice, looks very 😎. All of the displays look good. Maybe a certain car manufacturer would sponsor you.!?👍

[@upir_upir]

Thank you! Not quite sure about the sponsoring part, but let’s wait and see 🙂

[@brandonh1613]

2022 Toyota corolla hatch, that shifter orientation is exactly how it is in my car, this is definitely a mod that I would do on my car, its too cool not to!

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your nice words, I will definitely add Toyota to the list!

[@Krenath]

I would absolutely love to build this for my C7 Corvette Z06. It's got a 7-speed manual transmission and I currently have a custom spherical shift knob about the size of an 8-ball.

[@upir_upir]

Is it 7 forward speeds + reverse? Also, isn´t the 8ball quite huge? Oh.. perhaps that was only the case for the magic 8 ball :)

[@jayjandu]

Love to see how you can utilise Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C6 in a similar project say include ambient led lights in the vehicle. Love the detail shown. You got a new subscriber :)

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your subscribe! Yes, I´m looking at all the XIAO boards right now, I will definitely use some of those.

[@shanewoodward4375]

Awsome work 👏 , You have made a great project here and the end result is 100% Awsome 😮 I drive a Subaru so would like to see the "STI" Could it be possible at add a welcome animation as the vehicle starts ?

[@upir_upir]

Thank you, I´m glad you like it! I will definitely put the STI on the list. I was thinking about the intro animation as well, I might try that.

[@hiphopgeeks]

Following from the beginning! The new display looks perfect! The display looks very similar to one used on a 2nd gen Motorola watch I used to own. Much success with your series...will definitely be duplicating.. a VOLVO 5 speed display..Pls!! ♂️

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your nice words, I´m glad you like it! Volvo is definitely already on the list.

[@hiphopgeeks]

@@upir_upir cant wait for the next video. I drove my 86 240 Turbo Wagon today. A screen on the shifter would be awesome! The shifter is hollow to accept wires. An earlier version of the gear box was 4 speed + switch for overdrive. Mine is a 5 speed but uses the same shifter.

[@matthamb1]

This is very cool - Nissan 5 speed - I have a hardbody & 300zx that this would definitely enhance the style!

[@upir_upir]

Cool! I´m sure it would look very nice. Is that cable for the illuminated shifter knob +15V I guess?

[@SmithDrewSmith]

You might be able to use the screen like a d-pad to be able to navigate a menu. Tact switch under each cardinal direction, maybe long press to select. Or have any 2 opposite buttons pressed to select, triggered by pressing the center.

[@upir_upir]

That´s an interesting idea, and I will try it for sure. Thank you for your suggestion!

[@mrmattyboy]

Great video :) I guess if you're expecting the fonts to be only white or black, you could reduce to one bit-per-pixel (coloured or transparent), reducing the memory consumption massively (16-fold)! And then just apply a 2-byte colour on top for the foreground :)

[@upir_upir]

Thank you! That´s an interesting idea, but you would probably lose the anti-aliased edges, right?

[@mrmattyboy]

@@upir_upir Indeed! :( Maybe 3 colors would be enough, so maybe give it 2 bits per colour for a bit of mixing/shading :) From your reply, I can start to see why my pixel art is awful :D

I like the new screen shame it's not a full circle but still it's very usable, I have a Honda prelude 5th gen and want to make this for mine so I will do, thanks for sharing.

[@upir_upir]

Full circle means you need to put the chip and cable somewhere, and you will end up with a bigger circle and thicker bezel. I agree that for certain graphics it´s not that useful, but the shifter pattern works surprisingly good.

[@upir_upir]

Cool, I like muscle cars. What does the "scat" means?

[@SirKittyMcMittens]

​@upir_upir "Scat" is an old slang term made by abbriviating the word "Scatter", which means to get lost, or get away quickly. Clever use of the term by Dodge. (I'm also sure someone else can add more background info than I can) :)

[@SirRebonack]

Since you use white images for your labels you could probably use a single channel image and that would allow you to store a second set at a lower intensity (for the grey). Not sure what the encoding is for 16-bit image (5-bits per channel?). You could probably do bit-shift and bit-OR to recreate the color pixels in 16-bit. I think it would be cheaper than the floating point math required for true tinting. You could even go with palette based approach, that's how the old game consoles did it.

[@upir_upir]

Yep, I was thinking about something similar, i.e. storing labels as 8bit grayscale, which would result in images in half the size. I might try that.
