So I came across this the other day... (http://www.p3cars.com/bmw/bmw-z-series/ ... lti-gauge/)
It got me thinking I'd like to have a tinker and see if I can make my own version, but with a 'fancier' display - either 2 x OLED or a single 1.8" TFT screen.
I was hoping other may have some input in regards to what they think would look better? what they'd like seen displayed? (There's a button to cycle through), and for TFT Options - any thoughts on a nice gauge background?
In my TFT screen shot, the clock gauge is just a bitmap, and the needle and red numbers are drawn by the code. I made the image from images I found of the Lexus LFA gauges... was purely my first test
OLED - Image from google
TFT - Image of my own TFT demo (Excuse the lack of focus, my camera skills are abysmal. The display is clearer IRL)

Before you say...
Because I can

Now to find a better font to use for the RPM Digits (And move the digits a bit lower)
