Uber simple HUD reminder thingy

[bogan]

In the meantime, could we do something like this? Seems pretty simple; use an input (in this case radar audio) to trigger some really bright LEDs. No helmet, no wireless, no batteries. Can you do this?

Shouldn't be too much longer to wait now, tested almost everything, rpm still to go. Then re-jig the circuits a bit and get a dozen or so made up.

Oi. Mr tugger emoticon. Exactly what value does your sarcasm add to this conversation? If you read the entire thread you'd know this is not just about indicators; it's about rider notification of any trigger they choose to connect this thing to. I personally am looking for radar notification; others are interested in other things. So pull your head in and shaddup rant over

Indeed. Actually now that you in the cheap seats have chimed in, this product is especially for you! soon you will be able to plaster not only your bike with sponsorship logos (of people who don't actually sponsor you), but your clocks as well! that'll be fookin mint right?

I knew somebody was either gonna ask for a price, or an exact date! Not really sure on cost as it depends how small I can make the new board design, as that in turn effects the cases etc. For the first set I'll do some machined cases out of plastic I think. Obviously I'll give all you guys who helped first dibs on them. My guess would be still somewhere between 50 and 100, but more likely towards the middle of that range.

Some expensive LEDs! Since I can probably do the whole wireless system for a similar price, I think it'd be better to spend my time on this, rather than knock together something else.

haven't posted in a while so i thought, i should stir some shit

Made a bit of progress today, should be getting boards printed this month. Board size ended up 30x40mm for the bike part, and 15x30mm (but 50x35 with batteries) for the helmet unit.

Also the RPM sensor works fookin mint, and my trusty honda rpm gauge is still bang on after almost 25 years

Finally some more progress!

Had some big issues getting prototype boards made, but think I've found a decent supplier now.

Hopefully the components will turn up soon and can test them out.

I’m after a warning for my headlight being off (it’s now off and relayed to my pass switch for tuning/track days/limiting pre starting drain)
High beam on, it infuriates me when cars blind me and I don’t want to be tarred with the same brush.
Oil pressure and temp warning (same LED), a temp light circuit I’ll put on the bike to trigger at 115-120 deg with an adjustment if it triggers while “safe”.

I lane split, a flashing light every morning for half an hour and I’ll end up standing naked on my roof in the poring rain screaming at the sky until they take me away…
So I’ll give the indicator trigger a miss.

So one red for temp & oil, one amber one for headlight off and one dim blue one for high beam.
But having a spare I can hook into at a later date would be nice.

I’ll get a visalert unit for the detector/jammer/EMP/anti-taxi rockets/chaff pods etc later on…

Can you PM me when you have a price please?
Ta.




Unless you want to quickly whip up a projector that overlays GPS directions with speed/warnings/info etc at infinite focal length onto our visor and augments it into what we’re actually looking at…
Like on computer games…
Piggyback onto the polices GPS transponder server for up to the minute position and alerts within 2km?

Hmmmm… maybe highlighted best lines for corners via a GPS feed and pre-programmed maps? Can you imagine the carnage?
