In this video, I control the Subaru gauge cluster (originally built as part of my Hadoop Gauges project) with the Color Computer 3. But in order to be able to use my Deluxe RS-232 Pak to control the gauges, I needed to add the serial driver and device descriptor for it to the OS9Boot file.
Jump to the following times if you just want to see it go:
OS9Boot device descriptor additions: 3:55
Controlling the gauges with the CoCo: 6:28

The original version of the Hadoop Gauges used gauges from an older Subaru Legacy, but I updated them to this set after a couple years. The updated version uses only the Raspberry Pi and does away with the Arduino for the speed and tachometer and the switching circuits for the oil and charge warning lights.
