Newb here,
I have found myself seeking the wisdom of the people of this wonderful forum, for a project I am strongly adamant on doing. A "Heads Up Display" project for my K1500 (1994 Sierra 5.7 Liter) to display the speed onto the windshield.
Seeing as my truck is pre-1996, I am stuck with a OBD1 and most modern plug-and-play HUDs either use OBD2 or GPS. Most of which, are cheap chinese junk.
Onto the situation at hand:
I am wanting this to be hard wired into the vehicle, primarily from the VSS or the VSS Buffer maybe. Finding a spot to place the device and run the wiring is the easy part for me, My troubles start with how would I retrieve this information AND what could i use to capture that data?
Before you ask, I would use a 7-Segment Display and a small reflective film to project the "Digital Speed" onto the windshield.
