Do you think after market gauges distract from the simplicity of the model T?
Do you think modern gauges on old cars look out of place?

Maybe this voice module is for you. It works on 5 - 12 volts so a 6 volt model T is perfect for it, aside from having to build a voltage spike catcher. Sensitive electronics don't like the noisy model T system.
I used a lithium battery for mine.

Parts you will need.

1 arduino nano.
1 MP3 tf card music module
A 470kohm resistor for each input pin you use.
In an ideal world small relays for each input pin. I'm using solid state sensors.

Cheap thermocouple and reader module for arduino.

I'll post the code when it's perfected.

That’s the problem with my 27, I don’t have a USB port to charge my I phone or power the dash cam, I do have a 12 volt generator and inverter to power my laptop.

I can bring over my spares if you want them.
