Hello
I have a friend who is building a street rod. He has seen me use plcs to control things in a small haunted house for Halloween and also a light display for Christmas. I currently have a couple of plc's sitting here at home and he as asked if a PLC and Hmi could be used for a custom guage display in the car. He was looking at a custom digital dash but I think we can install a nice HMI and have the plc pretty much control everything in the car. My worries are with the environment. In the summer with windows rolled up and car sitting all day in the sun or in winter months with its zero degree's and you go warm up your ride (condensation/moisture).
I know this can be done if the equipment will withstand the elements.
thanks for any input.
