Using the front wheel sensor with an aftermarket speedo
« on: 14 December 2014, 06:59:53 pm »
Hello!
I want after market gauges!

I bought a used Acewell Ace-2701 with no sensors. This is not a problem, I can buy a cheep reed switch and use it.

I made a test removing the gauges and nothing happened, the bike runs the same. So, maybe is the wheel sensor which affects the running.
I want to keep the factory front wheel sensor in place wired to the Ecu/Ignition/whatever.

I wonder if I can use the factory front wheel sensor because I don't want extra wires/metal plates around the wheel.

As I know the factory front wheel sensor is a Hall sensor with 3 wires. One is ground, one is power and one is signal. It gives you different voltage values as the wheel spin.
The sensor used for the Acewell in my case is a Reed Switch with 2 wires. It act as a switch => On/Off.
Is there any way I can adapt the signal from a Hall sensor and transform it in a On/Off signal?
