🛠️ Building Custom Digital Gauges for My Suzuki Jimny (3D Printing + Arduino + LCD!)

Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/jasonandthej... 9/4/25 UPDATE: I've updated my setup and ditched the USB power. I used 12v to 5v step-down converters that plug into the back of the screens/ESP32 boards and provides a much simpler and clean install. The only hangup was the power provided to the board this way was not able to properly power the boost sensor, so I powered that separate from the board, but through the same step down converter. Step Down Converter: https://amzn.to/4g5NcDQ Powering on Video with the new power setup:    • UPDATE on my Jimny digital gauges…no more ...   ______________________________ In this video, I follow an amazing tutorial by UPIR (   / @upir_upir  ) on how to create custom gauges for my Jimny. There are two separate tutorials I followed, one for the Pitch & Roll gauges and one for the Boost Gauge. From there, I used ChatGPT to help tweak the code to add a cool custom splash screen and a few other adjustments. I'll let you follow UPIR's videos on how he did it, but I walk through the process I followed, my soldering journey, designing and printing my 3D gauge pod, and more. This is exciting, but long, so thanks in advance for watching. I've been driving around with this for about a week and it works well. The Pitch & Roll sensors acts a bit like an accelerometer, so if when you accelerate and brake, or turn hard, it does show a reading. I slowed it down a bit so it isn't as reactive, but I may still tweak it to slow it down even more.. Additionally, I'm still messing with the needle on the boost gauge so it isn't so jittery (I have since replaced the screen with a new one). I will post an update as I make progress. All in, this project cost me around $200 US dollars in parts, not including the soldering and 3D Printing time and materials. It's taken me about a month or so to finish mainly due to waiting on parts to ship to the US from AliExpress. I had a blast doing it and it's been even more fun watching it function in my car.
