As part of a modern vehicle instrumentation upgrade, I'm currently developing a custom digital dashboard by reverse-engineering the vehicle's CANbus data. Using CAN analysis software, and a custom development PCB utilising an MSC2515 transmitter to identify relevant message IDs and extract live data transmitted over the CAN network. This data is then tunnelled into an Arduino microcontroller via an SPI interface, where it's parsed and displayed in real time on a digital screen.

To integrate this system seamlessly into the vehicle, I’m applying my 3D modelling skills to design and fabricate a custom dashboard surround, ensuring a clean, OEM-like fit and finish. The project combines electronic engineering, embedded programming, and industrial design to deliver a modernized, fully functional replacement for the original analog instrument cluster.
