Vehicle cluster simulation

Disclaimer: I don’t have a degree in electronic engineering. My knowledge comes from reading and experimenting. You should do your own research before trying to replicate my work. The problem Old vehicles start to have issues as they age, and a common one with Nissan 200SX (S13) (240SX in America and 180SX in Japan) is the cluster that stops working, either the speedometer (more common) or the tachometer (engine RPM). The issue with the speedometer is the needle that either stops working or jumps to the other end of the scale (240+ km/h).
