Anyone fimiliar with air core gauges?
My project is to make a Dash display system for a race car. I originaly planned to use an RC servo to control an analog gauge on the dash. The analog gauge is much easier to read quickly. The RC servo is easy to implement, but the constant back and forth switch motion will burn it out, and it only has 180deg movement.
I've scrounged some air core movements from a car gauge cluster, and I want to make up a controller. Digikey has an ON Semiconductor controller chip available. It looks fairly straight forward. I'd just like to get some feedback from anyone who has gotten one of these working. I'm sure I'll run into problems. All I have is the movements and the one datasheet. There's almost nothing on the web for this kind of project. Or maybe it's easy enough to program a uC to do all the functions needed to control the movement?
There's some chips already in the gauges. Anyone have a datasheet for a TB9233N?
