That's a nice gauge, where did you get it? Is it easy to run?

they are cheap "GA9A01" from Aliexpress, along with a wemos s2 ... relatively easy to use with the E_TFT library in arduino ... follow the guide below and i modified jamies code for my uses
The only word of warning buy more than 1, as my fist one was duff and i thought it was a code issue, but it was actually the screen

Lunchtime special ....
Somehow i DID NOT snap the 3.2mm drill bit or break the m4 Chinese tap.. go figure... sure i break loads tomorrow now

parts bin special here ... speed is of the essence at the moment.

i have to use small screws here as there isn't much clearance between battery modules and the frame and if i were to have a bump i don't want any bolt threads impacting the battery module.
