that's the way I'd do it too, you can also get better resolution by picking up the backs of the wheel studs - 4 pulses per revolution instead of 1

being a pooter geek myself, im interested in some wiring diagrams, chip programs and so on, any chance you can pm or publish the details.

Is there anyway that the code could be modified so the distance covered can be adjusted?

Adjsutable trip meters are pretty handy for Touring assemblies when you get lost and have to back track

Way to go mate, really impressed with what yopu have done there

Thanks y'all for the positive response.



When you built it yourself, anything is possible! (that doesn't sound too hard either)

That pic of the rear hub is interesting. Hmm... I might buy a cheap bike computer and try and adapt the magnetic sensor on that.

Here's some circuit diagrams for the system I've built. Not everything is explained in the diagrams (for example the Tellymate is completely missing).






I'm entertaining the idea of getting some circuit boards made, and putting together a kit. I've already built the prototype . The main problem with this is that people would probably need to customise the code and program it themselves. Also, if I had to build it again, I would roll the two circuits into one.

Annnyway, I hope the diagrams are useful to someone.

I would be very interested in a kit. I can solder, wire up a car, and I can program. But I've really understood electronics (which components to select, how to design a circuit etc).

Cheers,
