Finally got my Bike Dashboard hardware completed...

...And the software for my android phone isn't far behind (see photo) :D
It lets me control and monitor the lights, alarm, gps tracker, battery voltages and power usage by the motor. Quite pleased with how it's working out :)

Update:
I've added a fuel gauge that measures the amount of battery power used in total per charge, which can then be compared to the total battery capacity from a full charge. Using data from this now shows that the battery will typically be capable of 40 to 50 miles! Sweet! :)

>>27399 *Note that the figures for volts are stored as tenths of a volt. The bike battery wasn't operating at 400+ volts, but 40+ :D

>>27398 LOL XD No bowing required I assure you :)

Just had a quick blast up and down the road to test a power logging feature I added. See picture.
The voltage of both batteries and the watts used of the bike battery are measured here. It hits nearly 500 watts at peak power :O
*The internal battery is used to power the alarm, gps, lights etc when the main bike battery is not available.

Does the bike charge your phone too?
