That looks cool. How are you inputting speed signal using the cordless drill?

Got my stepper motor today. I'll hopefully have a demo up and running by the weekend.

Here is my latest. The OLED is mounted on the face plate.

I've got the VSS hooked up to the arduino and I spin that with the drill.

Finished. Well need to find a case for the Arduino but the clock is done.

Superb!

 

Now all you have to do is build a Mini that accelerates fast enough to keep up!

Haha. Yeah I'm hoping the R1 conversion will do the trick.

Luke I am impressed, well done and really looks sensational as well as doing something the original only did ~OK~ this one works!

 

Kudos mate.

 

I only just now found this and thought I'd post here as it maybe of interest to some;-

I think it would need more than just this to work (an Arduino driver?) and is possibly getting above my pay grade, but I know there are some very clever guys on the forum who maybe able to make use of this.

 

I know this is an Aust store, but they do have stores in the UK (as well as mail order) or there maybe something from Farnells or Maplins similar?

Ordered from jay car a while back, the exchange rate was great and delivery was fast.

Thanks for the kind comments. I'm pleased with the final results and still have more to add to my centre binnacle in the form of 2x 52mm Smiths gauges with OLED. One for Gear Position indicator and the other will be multi-gauge i.e. batt volts, oil pressure, water temp and the screens will be changed by flicking a switch on the mini switch panel. It all works on the bench setup, just need to transfer the idea into actual Smiths gauges.

 

Anyway, I really like the look of that Jaycar gauge. Certainly opens up the possibilities for some very cool looking designs. A retro looking digital display.

On a different tack, I don't know which R1 you are using, but when I ran an R1 in a car I initially needed a dry sump system. However, after the boys at Locost, RGB and Andy Bates got involved, there is now a simple baffle and a plate to put in the R1 sump.

It stops the oil pick up being left high and dry when the car corners (as the car cannot bank like the bike).

If you want any details just pm me.

I hope you knew that already, but just in case!

[LukeH]

Yep got baffle plate on the purchase list along with loads of other stuff. I would like an accusump but can't quite stretch to one at the mo.

Cheers for replying
