Hello all.
I'm new here and my understanding in electronics/programming is zero!.(also sorry about my English)
I need help with building a gear indicator to be install in my car with a seven segment display that show the 1-5 /R gears.
The idea is when I shift a gear I will see the number of the gear that im using on the seven segment display until I will shift to another gear.
for example: im driving in second gear...I see the number 2 on the display until I will shift the gear to third gear and than I will see the number 3 on the display.
Because my understanding is very poor in electronics I was thinking about a simple board with six microswitches,1-5 gears and "R" for the reveres gear.each switch will show a number when I press it...but..the number will remain until another microswitch is press.
Any help with this idea will be great!!!
Thank you very much!
Guy.
