SchmuckGirl Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 12, have you decided that you are making a batch of these speedo healers? If you do and they work right, I would buy one from you. I went -1, +2 so I def need a healer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12oclocker Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Yeah, I'll probably be making more speedo healers, first batch is only gonna be 4, with factory connectors for Yamaha WR250X (Found out it will fit other Yamaha Years also, pretty much whatever yamaha bikes use the same Speed Sensor Connector as the WR250X)I've already designed my TACH, its SWEET! A Single Chip Design, 1 microcontroller, measures the frequency going to your plug, does some 16bit binay math in an 8bit processor to convert to RPM's, then Displays the number on 7segment LED displays...Right now.......I'm trying to design if I want it to have Three 7 Segment Displays Like this.... 10.5 RPM's (x1000) ....and you would know there is to be a x1000 multiplier,Or if I should just put Five 7seg displays on there to read this.... 10500 RPM'sthis method seems kinda like a waste, since my binary math and frequency sample rate is always going to have the last digit read zero anyway, why bother having them?Anyone have any suggestions on how it should look?[10.5] RPM x1000 ....OR.... [10500] RPM ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relboc Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Three segment would be cool. Not sure what your mounting plan is, but you know there isn't a ton of room, so the smaller the better. Easy enough to remember there are two 0's at the end.Looking forward to getting all the goodies from you. How is the gear indicator coming?

How is the gear indicator coming?haven't started on the gear indicator yet, been doing the board layout for the speedo healer and tachometer, I got the tach down to 1.4" by 1.4" by .8" height, I got the speedo healer down to 1.5" by .59" by .19" height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 have you tried any local junkyards for the connectors you need? there are usually a ton of wrecked bikes, and anything small like that will not cost much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchmuckGirl Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 So your speedo healers are only for Yamaha brands as of now?Sorry, I'm trying to keep up but half of what you are saying is gibberish to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12oclocker Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) So your speedo healers are only for Yamaha brands as of now?Sorry, I'm trying to keep up but half of what you are saying is gibberish to me!It should work on ALL bikes, I just need to test it on them to make sure, principle of operation is the same for all bikes, just a matter of hooking it up.On a side note, I think the healtech may actually have a EEPROM burn issue, healtechs continiously check and stores your max speed in eeprom, I thought about this while writing the firmware for my digital RPM meter, I thought about making it store the max RPM to eeprom, but then realized the EEPROM is only good for an average 100,000 read/write cycles, and if I load the previous stored EEPROM value to SRAM at startup, right there I reduce my product life to 100,000 power ups, then to take it a step further, If I write my max measure value to EEPROM every time I detect it occurs at a 500ms measure rate, I could actually Burn up my EEPROM after only 138 hours of operation of slowly increasing measurement values. naturally your measurements are going to jump around, and not slowly increase over such a long period, so your EEPROM reliability time would be much higher, but it still posses a "possiblity" of premature product failure after only a few years of operation in my opinion.

12oclocker Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 OK, here is a pic of the first PCB, this thing is going to be TINY!About the size of 3 dimes width wise, and about a dime tall.I will post more pics of the install and the completed PCB once the connectors get here...

12oclocker Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Pics of the board assembled, there will be a rubber tube, similar to what the factor does to cover connectors, which will side over to cover the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12oclocker Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I was sick for a week, and missed a week of work, other stuff I was working on feel behind as well, but I'm back to feeling better now....They're done and ready to ship, I want to test them all on my bike first before shipping each of them out. so as soon as it stops raining over here, I'll do that...They have the factory Yamaha Connectors, so they are super simple to install, and they will be pre-setup for your gearing before you get them, so all you have to do is plug and go, they will also come with setup instructions in case you ever change your gearing and want to adjust the unit.Here's some pics of one installed on my bike, to make it water proof I wrapped my board in ESD (electro-static-discharge) safe plastic and taped the ends....Your unit will come pre-wrapped, setup, and ready to plug and go.Pic of the board ready for install...Pic of board installed...

xtremef4i Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 damn dog! Nice work once again. that thing is small and suprisingly silplistic looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvillegil Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I would be interested in getting one for my bike if i could get the damn old front spocket off. What does Kawasaki do, weld the nut on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12oclocker Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 damn dog! Nice work once again. that thing is small and suprisingly silplistic lookingthanks, its super simple, just unplug the speed sensor, and plug this in between I would be interested in getting one for my bike if i could get the damn old front spocket off. What does Kawasaki do, weld the nut on?maybe the person before you did it? never heard of that one before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does Kawasaki do, weld the nut on?Ya my front sprocket came off as expected. I had both tires on the ground, one holding the bike and rear brake, with a long breaker bar on the 3/4 ratchet...I'll pm u sometime next week to get one ordered..

NinjaNick Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 ^ Or get a impact wrench. Have the bike in nuetral and lean over the bike while having one foot pushing hard on the rear brake and work the impact fwd, back, fwd, back and it will come right off. I swear my stocker was 1000lbs/ft torqued! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 This thing is really cool man. It sets itself to any change your give it! No need to input any data. Just change gearing or whatever and the device will self adjust the error automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
