Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
There's a thread on LS1 tech about adding electric power steering to any car for $35. It's quite informative https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...er-issues.html

I wanna show you guys something pretty cool
the Controller board comes with a tiny red WiFi card! so we are going to solder that header connector to the board next (baby steps) I could have added all the gizmos to this board when it first arrived but I wanted to isolate and keep the complexity down to a minimum, plus I wanted to confirm what all is needed to spin up the motors and what is none essentially hopefully you guys and gals follow that logic not bad for Government work! ha ha |

alright so what does that Why Five card give you?
well glad you asked, or at least were thinking that, it gives US instant gauges! |

wait so you're telling me I have to drive around with a stinkin' laptop on my seat to see my RPMs and such?
um no, any WiFi enabled device can work as your gauge cluster, think iPhone, iPad, or an old 7" Android tablet like this... |

and with a lot of work and cussing you can customize it, here's an alternate prototype design

and since that may be too much for that little 7" display I dumbed it down a bit

and a long and narrow aka "wide screen" display of some sorts (that may not even exist) if you know of some shoot me a linky link please, I would be most grapefruit !

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I’d say, stay away from “cardboard fiber”. Keep a clean classic look with the screen. This isn’t a race truck with 200hp and 30 mile range.

just look at this handsum feller, and yes I am NOT snapping that cover in until absolutely the very final days of the project, it is a super PIA to remove

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
If you use the same steering column as Mike finnegan used in his c10 you can fit a large screen.

Just curious if you have a computer or electrical background. All this is super cool but confusing for me lol

how it's going to work, a video bench testing the basic electric components needed to make the electric motor spin
think of it as the equivalent of running a gasoline powered engine in an engine test stand hope you find this interesting Lexus GS450h Motor First Spin Basic Setup |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Enjoyed your video. I'm pretty sure I am not smart enough to undertake a project like this but I am learning a lot with your clear explanations. I always look forward to your posts.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
