    Too many to list, and I've probably forgotten a bunch.
    These latest updates are pretty cool and well worth waiting on.

    Tracking angular velocity and linear acceleration gives you an inertial nav device. The possibilities for offshoots are near endless.

    Kick ass!

    This looks great! Sparkfun is a great supplier for electronics and Arduino is really fun and easy to mess around with.

    I just skimmed this thread, and apologize if it's been mentioned already -

    However it has to appeal to more than Tacoma owners - ever thought of doing a Kickstarter project for it? Are displays available in the standard 2 1/16" diameter gauge format ... color OLED eg? Just spitballing some ideas.

    Definitely respect the innovation ... nice job

    Would like to beta test as well. I've got some experience with Arduino programming and would be willing to pay for parts and help write code as needed. Great innovation idea. Willing to help.

    Had a thought last night... is it possible to integrate the stock temp reading so those of us w/ busted temp displays can put it in its place?

    I would love something like that! As far as warnings, they would all vary based on tire size, wheel backspacing (which sets track width) as well as the size of the lift, and gear weight and location. It would need to be user-set really.

    If you don't mind getting your own parts together I've got the circuit board designs and code up on GitHub:

    Board: https://github.com/camerontech/inclinometer-hardware (the parts list is out of date)
    Code: https://github.com/camerontech/altimeter-inclinometer

    Although there are some big changes coming with my new sensor so the code is going to change a bit.
