Like the dash so far. Can't wait to see how it looks later on. Regarding the VFD Are you running Windows or Linux? (I know in Linux theres lcdproc but haven't heard of anything similar in Windows).

I'm running windows, and smartyLCD to run the screen, it can display newscats or anything...

glad to see someone else using a vfd, I'm planning one in my current install, its nice because mine has 25 button inputs, and 6 general purpose outputs to control basically anything. I'm using LCDC for my software

looking good man. your not worried about that 10.2 monitor being to obtrusive.

**portabuddy** · 08-04-2007, 12:55 AM

Im not sure what you mean? what would it obstruct? it will be destracting for sure, the vent isnt obstructed either... My first virsion was had the vent cut in half, but im a bit glad that that one got destroyed...

I think that yours is comming along nicely...

not obstructive, obtrusive which means Thrusting out; protruding or Undesirably noticeable, in another arent you wooried its gonna attract unwanted attention
