Email sent, can't wait....It's a new toy thing.

Do we ever grow up?

Would I be right in thinking the speedo healer option can be used and a correction figure of 1 would keep original readings without any problems? (FZS1000 gen 1 2003)

schlumpf · « **Reply #53 on:** 26 June 2014, 08:02:19 pm »

Right. The speedohealer is always included and can be set to 1. Or you simply leave it unwired.

Why would we want to grow up. We have to grow old but growing up is still optional. ?

Just a thought, would it be possible to incorporate a trip computer into these showing actual and average MPG. ?

schlumpf · « **Reply #56 on:** 27 June 2014, 06:35:10 am »

Yes, that's possible. It's only to question how small the Font is allowed to become. I will have a look into it.

Andy FZS · « **Reply #57 on:** 27 June 2014, 12:20:09 pm »

Well done Dazza, I never thought to ask if any extra features could be added.

Modifying the views is no big problem, just needs a day or two to implement and test.

You can create your own design, if you like. I've attached 2 sample snapshots of the display in original resolution (102 x 64, b/w). Take a grafik editor and play around. You only have to consider a few constraints:
- Keep the BMP B/W format and resolution
- Font size can be changed in steps of 8 pixel. Smallest is 8, largest 64.
- The vertical position of text can only be moved in steps of 8, starting at 0.

For example, picture ..20 uses font8 for the two top lines, font32 for the recent value and font16 for the mean value.
Picture ..14 uses font32 for the top line (gear and speed), font16 for the odometer and font8 for "km".

The file "All_views.bmp" contains (almost) all available layouts. Copy and paste whatever you'd like to see.

Make a proposal I will try to implement it.

Wow, that's impressive, you sir are a foccing genius. Of course no trip computer would be complete without showing range. Is this possible also. ?

Captain Haddock · « **Reply #60 on:** 28 June 2014, 02:26:58 pm »

With the gps input connected could the 3rd button be used to auto set the speedohealer factor? Obviously it would have to be done at a steady speed on straight road for gps to keep up, would be a useful feature.

schlumpf · « **Reply #61 on:** 28 June 2014, 02:48:38 pm »

The 3rd button could theoretically be used for that. But typically the speedohealer is only adjusted a single time and never again. Don't know if this brings real benefit...
By the way, maybe worth to mention, the digital speedo redout has its own correction factor. And in addition a so called slip correction to increase accuracy at very high speeds. Once set correctly it provides almost the same accuracy as a GPS.

Adding range information to the trip/MPG would also be a doable feature. My only concern is that each change to the SW might have side effects I don't recognize while testing. Therefore I prefer "good old" software. But if you are fine to care some risk I'll give it a try.

is it possible have a white face with the fazer logo on it like the one below ?

schlumpf · « **Reply #63 on:** 28 June 2014, 04:28:59 pm »

Well, that looks like white on white

Unfortunately I have only black anodized ones with white FAZER on it. But almost any decal maker knows the multi gauge and is able to provide a complete set in any colour you like. They can be mounted on top.

deflim · « **Reply #64 on:** 28 June 2014, 06:29:52 pm »

As mentioned - we (I) would be able to supply pre-cut dial colour change - printed with anything you want...

Cheers

deflim · « **Reply #65 on:** 28 June 2014, 06:32:44 pm »

Actually - thinking about it - it would be pretty cool to have the meter faces colour matching the bike colour -

Cheers

schlumpf · « **Reply #66 on:** 28 June 2014, 07:12:05 pm »

That sound to be a cool option. Let me know if I can support with dimensions for the gauge's face.

Andy FZS · « **Reply #67 on:** 28 June 2014, 10:41:44 pm »

I'll have mine colour coded my bike is black

Captain Haddock · « **Reply #68 on:** 29 June 2014, 12:26:54 pm »

Is the 12v output by the gps connections upto the load of a 7805 or similar regulator for gps module? Also is it a nice clean supply or straight from the bikes electrics?

Edit: Just spotted the bit about where to get a nice 5v from the clocks themselves, top work Christian!

Just wanted to push this topic up again to raise your attention.
A few members have already contacted me and during the next days I will proceed to begin shipping out. Unfortunately there is no good reason to bundle shippings, destinations are spread all over. Absolutely no problem for me. And any late followers are still welcome.

So far I did not receive any detailed input for software modifications. And I was quite busy to complete the gauges, no time to look into any changes by myself. I can ship "as is", or delay and implement. Please give me a short reply on your preferences.

Andy FZS · « **Reply #70 on:** 01 July 2014, 11:42:10 pm »

I would rather wait a short while to consider any software mods. I'll have a read through the posts again and decide what would suit me best. Suggestions from others would be welcome to help decide.
Thanks
ANDY

emjaydee · « **Reply #71 on:** 02 July 2014, 12:03:14 am »

is it possible to use this as a standalone gauge? Will it fit into a gauge holder?

Thinking of replacing the front end with a single headlight and removing the instruments.

Thanks

schlumpf · « **Reply #72 on:** 02 July 2014, 08:33:46 am »

Yes, with some slight modifications it would be able to replace the cluster. The idiots lights have to be added somewhere else. Only for the fan control you have to think of another solution (temp switch from older FZS600 or so).

A while back I did such a conversion for my son's small MZ125. I used 2 gauges. The first to display the odometer exclusively, the second for gear and the rest. The LED band below is for RPM (just to fill the window). The front plate was made of paper.

I did this because the dashboard was given and should stay. In your case I would recommend to go for a KOSO or alike. Makes life much more easy and neat.
