    7-segment display driver

    I want to design a single digit, 7-segment display circuit and was wondering about the latest state-of-the-art method using the fewest components for best longevity. Electronics isn't my primary b.g., but am willing to climb the learning curve. Product will be used in adverse vibrating...

    Source for round automotive gauge housing

    Thanks gentlemen, but these links are for gauge pods. Like a panel, the entire gauge fits inside. I'm looking for the actual cup-like enclosure to house the guts of the instrument along with bezel and hardware. I guess I didn't clearly describe it. I'm still looking. As Ron07663 mentions, many...

    Source for round automotive gauge housing

    I'd like to find a source for a quantity of standard 2" OD automotive gauge housings for a custom gauge I'm hoping to manufacture. This would be complete with a bezel and optionally with the standard stud-type hardware mounting bracket. Could be plastic or metal. Does anyone have a source I can...

    Position sensor recommendations?

    What is the most efficient or most cost effective method of setting up sensors to monitor 5-6 positions of a shaft (about 1.5" OD) that rotates and moves linearly. The movement is only 1/2" or so in any direction. This is for a production run rather than a one-off. I'm thinking multiple...

    Gear position sensor and display

    NickE, Thanks, but these are just the LED chip. I was looking for an existing assembly that includes underlying IC and enclosed in a surface mount housing - something off-the-shelf. Maybe such an animal doesn't exist?

    Gear position sensor and display

    Talking with a few friends, elec.-types; although LCDs are more visible in sunlight, an LED control circuit might be easier to assemble, and I think off-the-shelf parts are readily available for that part. I've been searching on the net for a single-digit LED display. Not just a standalone...

    Gear position sensor and display

    Not sure if this changes the parameters of parts needed. Perhaps LCD is a better display. In addition, my shift control is remote, thus I can mount sensors onto a shift tube between shifter assy. and gearbox. Does any of this provide a cleaner method of installation? Are IC LCD drivers a...

    Gear position sensor and display

    What simple parts can I use (off-the-shelf?) to fabricate a gearbox position sensor? I'm thinking about a sensor circuit that could display the manual gearbox position on an instrument panel-mounted, single digit LED array. I couldn't find any aftermarket products in an internet search except...

    What is Sisoinsulate?

    Can someone tell me about the properties of this thermal insulation material? Does anyone know any sources for this? Any other suggestions for a semi-rigid, but formable material with high thermal barrier characteristics? Thanks
