atheos Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Dear electronics-lab community,I have decided to build one of the many speedometers (for my motorcycle) I have found around in the internet.Unfortunately all of the projects dont include the sensor or even imply one.I have searched through the internet (and electronics-lab) for such a kind of sensor.I have found magnet sensors and hall effect that apply to similar low speed/revolution projects.I havent found a project that certifies that any of the above stated sensors would be reliable or even work at the speed of 200km/h.This is where the community steps in.Has anyone actually had any experience with the kind of sensor I am looking?P.S Thank you in advanceatheos_mbMechanical Engineer and Aeronautics Undergraduate student Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 How is the original speedo arranged on your bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atheos Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 It is a regular analog speedometer connected via a cable (mechanical that is) fitted on the front fork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 You could attach a small tacho to the cable and convert the output to suit the circuit. Or you could use a small inductive sensor to count the rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
