NATO inks deal with Palantir for Maven AI system

A Game Boy Speedometer, just because you can.
The “world’s worst digital dash”, a Nintendo Game Boy as a digital speedometer. Interfacing the handheld with the vehicle’s CAN bus system, this project has something to offer.

![Months of work have gone into decoding the Game Boy’s data bus and creating a schematic for the interface board. Tricking the Game Boy into thinking it was loading a game, while actually displaying incoming speed data. The screen’s low resolution and slow refresh rate rendered it barely readable in a moving vehicle. But [John]’s goal wasn’t practicality — it was just proving it could be done.](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/4762722 "Months of work have gone into decoding the Game Boy’s data bus and creating a schematic for the interface board.

Showing real-time vehicle speed on the Game Boy sounds like it should be relatively easy, but the iconic game system wasn’t exactly built for such a task. Its 2 MHz CPU and 160×144 pixel dot-matrix screen were every kid’s dream in 1989, but using it as a car dashboard is pushing it. To bridge that gap, [John] designed two custom circuit boards.
One interfaces with the Game Boy, intercepting its memory requests and feeding it data from a microcontroller. The other processes the CAN bus signals, translating speed information into a form the Game Boy can display. [John] used inexpensive tools and software to read the CAN bus data, and used GBDK-2020 to write the software in C.](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/4762726 "[ImageSource: John Sutley]
