Re: Arduino CAN Colour Dash Display

Had a productive weekend working on both dashboard and button panels.
Whilst I was there to have button panels cut, I also asked if it was possible to have a test piece cut for the fascia of my dash. We used a 3mm piece of scrap plastic just to make sure it fit, and after a small amount of tweaking it did so.
Next weekend I hope to have the carbon fibre cut for real. I'm pretty pleased with how it has come out, and for a proof of concept / prototype it'll work just fine in the car.
This evening however I fired up Fusion again to have a play around with the enclosure and fascia coming up with the following:
A very similar shape, slightly larger radiuses at the top, and I've incorporated a small sun-visor too. Not that this is necessary given the screen is very bright, but I think it looks neater.
I threw together some small brackets in fusion as well which will help mount the thing in the car, I'll get those cut this weekend as well.
