    WOOW :clap:

    Is it possible to make with Arduino Duemilanove http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardDuemilanove or just with Arduino MEGA ?

    p.s.
    I have Arduino Duemilanove,Arduino Sensor Shield V4 digital analog module & servo(booth buy on eBay) and BMW cluster E36 .
    BUT I do not know programming :? ,only wiring connect and load the program to Arduino chip :yes:

    you just need the chip from the arduino

    the atmega328 is the big in the middle in the left side of my breadoard the one with the red dot

    i will use it with it only

    but i dont have the parts for connecting it to the pc and be able to uplod code on it


    send a back photo of the cluster

    lets wait tonicgr to tell us the difference between the can clusters and no can clusters
    so we will be sure if your cluster can run as mine

    About 5 seconds of google search will tell you that CAN is a serial communication protocol. It will accept serial commands and values then control the gauges accordingly.

    In a no can cluster you have to figure out what type of signals are needed for the gauges.

    just take some npn transistors like 2n3904

    some 1K 2K resistors
    and some pontesiometers

    and a breadboard that would make your life easier
