Lets do something about those gauges

Bummer. I hate it when things don't work as planned on the first try.

Have a good trip though!
It seems it has become necessary to qualify my posts:
I am/am not trying to start an argument. This post is/is not intended to be a personal attack. I am/am not merely attempting to present a different viewpoint.

Select the words that apply to you.

Back from Norway, the work will continues. I removed the speedometer from the bike and will do some more testing and debugging to get the temperature sensors and battery voltage working.


-edit
temperature sensors are good now. 3 things left to do:
make sure the Arduino boots even if the battery voltage measuring thing is attached
installing/testing the tachometer
install hall sensor to track the speed and mileage

pretty good timing because my kosospeedometer is starting to fail.

Everything works. Tracking speed is flawless. I took the video after a short ride (about 30km slow traffic). Temperatures shown are ambient (30+ degrees because its standing still and heat comes from the engine, actually its 21.5), oil sump and cilinder head. A 'B' is shown on the main screen because it warns you if the charging voltage is too low and the bike wasn't running.

I put the hall sensor next to the rear brake disc. I glued a little neodymium magnet on the disc. Will move it to the front disc if I get rid of the koso speedometer (will test some more first).



Here you can find some code and schematic like stuff of the speedometer:

I have created a stripped down version of the code and hardware to make a simple speedometer. Only speed and mileage functions. Now you can create a basic speedometer for only a couple of bucks. It also includes a simple instruction to convert it to MPH and mile values instead of km/h and km.

Breadboard prototype displaying 0km/h, odometer 88400km and tripmeter 31km:

Hey, I'm very interested in this, do you have any more information on the finished project?
