Zero gauges
« on: May 14, 2012, 04:15:09 AM »

I think protomech may have mentioned this before, but check out this selection of gauges and see if anything looks familiar:

I found this company and their gauges discussed in the "New Ideas" section of the June issue of Cycle World.

So nobody other than me is interested in a gauge/dash that would provide much more detailed information: range, regen levels, power use ect.... really???

Right now your options are Cycle Analyst or some custom homebrew stuff.

Better gauges would be great.

You can see the progression of my dash here : https://plus.google.com/u/1/photos/109487083260943598914/albums/5752310133298892993

Just added better battery and temp gauge last night.

Still rough around the edges, but it will get better as time goes on. :D

Here is the data i collected form the ride i made tonight!  A beautifull ride in Quebec city with teh perfect weather.

V min: 45.3
Average speed: 49km/h
Runing time 57.02min

Not yet, there is an RS232 connection I am using to connect to the ECU to get this data along with some Phidgets I am turning into optional add ons.

When I get my hands on a 2012 I will be going all CAN, I am actually doing that pretty soon anyway for cooling the 2012 race bike.

Also ;) check out https://twitter.com/FoxyBike LMAO!

@Doc :
Thats pretty nice how it tallys the data per session.
