    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

If you're building your own cockpit and if your bike has a gear indicator then you can create a new one using three triple input "or" gates on a 4075 coupled up to a 4511 driver driving a single digit display.

I've been toying with the idea of creating a custom instrument cluster for a while, I've just not come across something suitable for the housing. It may well be if we can get some workable designs for the electronics we can get together and get housings milled from billet (or some other method) and share the design and setup costs!
 
As for the logic behind the tach, I think using an onboard crystal and counting the number of clocks between the ignition pulses. The RPM would then be inversely related to this figure. It would be extreemly accurate also. Much more so than the display using bar graphs.

Yes, if enough get together the costs would be minimized. I have to stress again that the panel needs to be designed first. Not necessarilly the layout, but what is included and how the information will be displayed.
