fitting digital gauge in original speedo or. when iam bored part II (Page 1/8)

Hi,
half year ago i had a plan......
creating this by using a bicyclecomputer
features :
Total KM or MLS
Trip KM or MLS
Speed KM or MLS
average speed
topspeed
time driven
Processor of this BC can calculate up to 270km/h correct . Somebody told me , or maybe i read it here , that a "Duke" never goes that fast
So that should be ok.



so i bought a Sigma BC800 from E-Bay and took my dremel



after some worke it looks now that way



iam getting to it



just to test if it still fit

This images is larger than 102400 bytes. Click to view.

Plasmafolia is next step
then ill connect it to the BC sensor which i fixed on 1 axle .

updates follow

Explain how the layers work, I assume you just printed black ink on a layer above the one that glows?

Very neat idea, are you going to have to build very much of an interface to connect it to the speedo feed?
