Tamiya King Cab Restauration

Ohhh... That is unfortunate:
I have startet to implement GPS handling (to display ACTUAL speed!) but I am running out on code memory by ALOT on the microcontroller board.

That is a tough call: I can kick out some nice functionality or skip GPS... 
Or check out more capable microcontroller boards...

It runs so nicely:

  • handles loss of signal.
  • displays nice animated graphs.
  • has a setup mode for various options when connected via USB - like 3 or 4 channel Remote, Button modes...
  • has a low voltage alert and even should be able to stop the car on low voltage (untested)

ohhh... so nice code... what to kick out?!?!?!

Question:
is anybody here interested in the code? Maybe want to go into "digital dashboard" by himself? If so, where to post it for people to experiment with? I am not a professinal coder. Anybody here? Is Github the place for this?
(It is normal Arduino IDE C++ code)

Update: I have upgraded my dashboard computer to a custom PCB. I did not like all the wires in GEN 2/3. So I learned how to design a PCB. Looks way better (even nobody sees it, I know it!) And it works! And it is ready to accept extensions! Buiding a GPS unit now...

Speed display connected to the GPS unit for real time - real speed display for my drivers! hahah!

I added some onboard entertainment to the Dashboard for my scale driver. So he can play some Pong while the batteries are loading ;)
