Please read my threads, all the info,and values are there |

| notacop | As the Scarecrow said.."If I only had a brain..." I'd love to make sense of a project like this. Good on youse guys! |

I recommend looking into this kickstarter project Digispark - The tiny, Arduino enabled, usb dev board! by Erik Kettenburg — Kickstarter Let me know if you need help coding anything. If I can't do it, I got about a dozen people that probably can. |

I have looked at your project I think that is where I decided to try my own version of it just have to find a case, and to interface the unit with the vstrom GPI (which I am nervouse about LOL) Jim As for connecting to the GPS (Gear Position Sensor) - nothing to be nervous about it. It is a 5V line. You just need to make sure that you use a large resistor so that you don't draw much current. really simple. Start testing by connecting a digital voltage meter to the GPS pink line, I used a posi-tap. Takes maybe 1 minute to setup. Then change the gears (with the key switch on, and engine cut off switch off) and see how the voltage levels change per gear. |

By the way, have you seen BigMan73's similar project here?
You are welcome to look at the open source Stromputer project. Indeed, a similar concept based on an Arduino. It is functional on the bike for some months now. I wonder if you are planning to make your project open source. |

| DiscusZ-V | GPS module added on Friday, tweaked GPS code took until into my truck and went for a spin, amazingly accurate to my vehicle speedo, with in a micro second it shows the same speed, direction heading works, lat/long next is gear postion on bike. then case, and mounting and done. they tweak code to make it smaller as I would love to record GPS info for putting on google earth or something showing trip path and altitude. |

| DiscusZ-V | my GPS module is sitting at the post office so now I get to try actual GPS data rather than simulated data.. wish it was open right now.. |
