5e colin Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 hey guys want to make an rpm activated switch any of ye have a link to some diy kits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Wow over kill on the RPi. https://www.google.co.uk/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-samsung&source=android-browser&q=shift+light&gfe_rd=cr&ei=UPrRVvyhNcavwQOK-5HoAQ#q=diy+shift+light Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=331354062251&alt=web 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 That's a much better idea than mine lol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
