So I ordered some Alcantara soft today to make myself an insert for the CSL centre console. Shelling out for a genuine one seems excessive so will go the route of making my own. I'm planning to 3D print a template to trace with a blade to cut the piece out.
The other thing that I'm planning to look into on a (literal) rainy day is a script to intercept files coming across FTP from the Gauge.S and to rename them sequentially. One of the issues with Gauge.S is that if it doesn't have the current time from a time server it reverts to an incrementation-based naming convention based on what files already exist on the SD card. This means you end up with a bunch of files named something like GaugeS-1.csv with no easy way to tell which is which. If you happen to be connected to wifi at the time the log starts it's all good. The other way to address this is to use the GPS module to acquire the current time.
I suggested to Sorek that a useful little option would be to store a global variable on the SD card with the current file increment. That way it could persistently assign the next increment, regardless of what files still existed on the SD card. Unfortunately Sorek advised he wouldn't be doing this as he considers it "clutter" and that his solution is to buy the GPS module. Given I have no other need for the GPS module I refuse to use that much hardware to solve such a simple problem so will look to solve this server-side on the FTP server.
