Hi guys!

I´m back again and i have a really interesting update for you!

I build a little MIP (Main Instrument Panel) for my HUD.

I took a peace of cardboard and a holepuncher and made a few holes into it.
But i didn´t throw away the little paper peaces, drew a few gauges onto them.

Next i glued a peace of the transparent packaging to the backside of the cardboardpeace.

Then i layed out the gauges and fixed them with a peace of tape.

When i was finished i turned the MIP around and i had a main instrument panel with glazed gauges (i know i´m crazy).

If you want you can take this and be happy but i wanted more!

Therefor i painted the backsides of the gauges in black and the frontside of the cardboard in grey.

I just had to scrape the black color down to the gauges (just the backsides of the gauges were black) and glued in a little LED.
I sanded the LED so there was a flat surface on the top for the glue to hold on.

Now it was time to mount everything together.

I used little Depron triangles to give the glue a better hold.
The little circuit board you can see carryes a resistor which is attached in serial to the LED.
The input is 5V (like a servo).
