a superb example of improvise adapt and overcome
Thanks BooBoo, I've read your motto before and thought it quite relevant to what I'm doing now
ive posted before that i was considering something like this before, but never got round to looking into it. Would love to know the cost, and if you have thought about releasing instructions and the software (or selling it)
At the moment this is just a one off project for me but by all means I can make the software available to others if they want it
and I will in the coming weeks put together a component list and some rough instructions of how I made it. I think it may have cost me about £80-£100 so far, with the main cost being the Arduino/Shield/Screen which was £40. You could choose to implement whichever sensors you wanted and change the code accordingly, I'd be willing to help with any code modifications if you wanted to do things differently.
Here are some pics of it in its smaller box:
I'll probably get burnt at the stake for doing this
but I've taken the case from a broken POD and butchered it to allow my new screen to fit into it and think it looks quite cool. I've sat in it and pedalled it around a bit and there's plenty of room between my legs and the screen casing.
There's still things I want to add to this unit, such as Indicator/Light/Hazard control etc but that will have to wait til next week when the necessary parts arrive, after that I'll get some documentation done for it.
