Stepper motors allow driving the original analog gauges. Custom board can control 4pc X27.168 steppers. I'm thinking fue-... battery level, EV motor power %, at the least, maybe something else. Speedo is still analog by cable.

Soldering progress 95% 😊

Procrastinating from making actual progress I accidentally designed a stepper driver board for the instrument cluster with... some additions.

We'll see what comes out of this. 😄

We are branching out to include stickers for #VWBeetle #VWCamper and other VW cars because after all they are far superior to anything #BritishLeyland made, aren't they isn't it! - http://www.miniphernalia.co.uk/

"Dear (public) diary. Today I finished wiring the bus..." 😊

12V system up and running, completely rewired (although based on original schematics).

Custom fuse & relay box installed. ⚡

Printed the outer frame in PETG and used PC for the relay holders for better heat resistance.

Fits in the original location and holds:
• Eaton fusebox for 20 blade fuses
• 5 relays (standard 4 or 5 pin)
• headlight dimmer
• turn signal flasher

Wiring the main 12V harness.

Of course there's a way of making everything complicated, so in my obsession of avoiding unnecessary splices and connectors I went and bought 90deg "flag" spade connectors for H4 sockets only to find those can't be crimped with normal pliers.

Luckily pliers are cheap and nowadays I know how to use an angle grinder.
