Hi all, for my electronics project this year i have considered to design and make a gear displayer for my Honda CG 125 motorbike. Since my bike doesn't indicate what gear i'm in, it will also come in handy for myself to use after my electronics course has finished. My first ideas on how to go about things are as follows...
Input - My foot triggering moving some sort of switching device to be attached to the gear peg.
Process - not to sure on this. Maybe a closed loop system that checks what gear im currently in, and if its changed to change the output displayed
Output - LCD display.
I have considered using just LED's for the output, but since this is a project for A2 I need more 'active conponents'
These are just my initial ideas so please comment all you want. As i need as much research/help as possible. I think the main problem will be with finding a method that works to use as my input. (dectecting the gear change)
Thanks
