Im trying to build a big truck cockpit which would require me to use actual vehicle gauges. The specific electronic gauges I want to use, come from a 2006 Blue-Bird Vision School Bus. The instrument cluster is made by Actia, from prior research I know that the cluster uses a CAN interface with J1939 Protocol. Any help with my project would be really appreciated.
I found a wiring schematic here where i figured out the information above. http://www.centralstatesbus.com/2006_Blue_Bird_Manual/VisionServiceManual/13_Instrumentation.pdf
What, exactly, do need assistance with.
At the moment your request reads like "I know nothing. Here is the manual. Please make me a working project"
If that is really what you want you should ask in the Gigs and Collaborations section and be prepared to pay. And, to avoid doubt, I have no interest in taking on paid tasks.

Saw an article about someone doing a very similar build on HackaDay today, it is a different cluster, but you could perhaps find some guidance and helpful information in the project notes...
Robin2 All I need is to know what I need to do this and how to do this.
Bh72 thanks for the links.

That's what I mentioned in Reply #2
Don't you think you are expecting too much of other people's free time ?
It will be much easier to help if you ask a specific question about one aspect of the project - rather than asking for help with the whole thing.
At the very least please tell us what Arduino experience you already have. If the answer is "none" then the first thing is to get some experience by working through several of the examples that come with the Arduino IDE.
