Re: Driving mechanical speedo from CAN
An Arduino with a stepper motor should work. The speed could be a problem, as you need up to approx. 3000 rpm.
This place has a stepper motor that should do;

Grab the flywheel/flexplate and "clutch" saves finding a clutch plate from something else it also gives you the option of mounting the complete clutch assembly to your locking plate to provide some cushioning to the driveline.

Personally, the fewer boxes the better but I have struggled with poor comms so do see the benefit of a more robust communication system.

Which way up does the mini main board go?
Before I apply any power can someone please confirm this mini main board is the right way up on the adapter board? I've assumed the text direction should match the adapter board but we all know what assumptions lead to.

Re: 1971 GMCe Lexus GS450H BMW 530e Tesla Model S powered Electruck
Updated side input port is now on Grabcad, the M20x1.5 thread prints a little lose on one of my slicers and a little tight on the other (Flashforge and Cura) . The small overhangs and threaded holes all print OK without support for me but YMMV. Let me know how you get on.

Yes, it's designed to work with the Damien's design of posts.
