D.I.Y. electronics guys have a look

hey guys want to make an rpm activated switch any of ye have a link to some diy kits

[Calum122]

Could use a Microboard Arduino, or Raspberry pi, connected to a software activated relay when tachometer induced wire reaches said RPM.

By using flux you can detect RPM's through the Spark plug leads.

The raspberry Pi can be used to activate the relay, the relay acts as your switch

Wow over kill on the RPi.

Just replace the light with a relay simples!

for you my friend for you ha ha

Hence why I said Arduino. But for the price of an Arduino you could get a Pi.

I will admit Luke has the better idea lol.

Pull it apart. Remove the LED/bulb replace with a relay. You can then set the relay to activate at any rpm between 1000-11000rpm all for less than £10

[lukEp]

Actually you could do with finding out if the LED flashes or not at the desired RPM before you buy. You need it to not flash.

[5e colin]

why flash ?? that wil be power no power on of on of ???

i need a constant + feed from 6000rpm+- to keep my vsvNC open and my micro switch closes my vsvNO wen i wot

[Calum122]

That's a much better idea than mine lol!

nice 1 amigo on the shiftlight i can use this relay ?? i think and wire the 2 bulb wires to the silver terminals of this relay

am i right ?? ( i think so )

[5e colin]

Yes.

thanks amigo
