Default Progress? Blinkenlights LINked

In view of the stupid questions that I've been asking, I thought I'd
better provide and update, should anybody care.

<http://golf2lin.wordpress.com/2011/12/03/blinkenlights-linked/>

Things are measured by various network nodes in a networked
car so the instrument cluster no longer has wires to be
able to do it directly. The Instrument Auxiliary (IA) node
delivers the expected signals and much more to the instrument
cluster.

Instrument cluster information is enhanced by employing
additional LEDs in the cluster, and by loading extra
functions onto existing indicators; such as blinking to
indicate a fault with a lamp.

The measured quantities and signals have been identified.

The IA node is also registered with the immobilizer module;
with a trust relationship enforced using SHA. When the IA
node notices that the car is being driven despite the
immobilizer telling other nodes to prevent that; or if the
immobilizer module cannot be trusted, the IA node will be
creative in how it manipulates the information displayed to
the driver through the instrument cluster and the brake
warning light.
