Just an update. My guy received the gauges and it turns out they are all Stepper motors.. The most precise stepper motors he has ever seen! Germans.

Thanks for the reply. I have a friend that does ECC and hobbyist RC planes and such that can get the gauges to work with a few arduino's and patience. He gets to put something awesome on his resume and some cash and I get the coolest sim gauges in history. Good trade.

Thanks for the replies but neither one has the cluster schematics. I guess the only question remains is what does the Pro-Guage acutally control? Air-Core or can it do servo controls?

I have been dicking about with this thing since 2009 and nobody on any sim or robotics forums has been able to shed light on controlling the servo based gauges WITHOUT cutting this thing up and re-wiring every single one.

I also cannot find a manual describing the pins functions on the back of the cluster and am afraid to run 12V into a data slot and frying the whole thing.
