Motorbyce, cancel turn signals
Hi,
it has been quite a while since I drove motorbyces, about 40 years. The problem involved with the turn signal is an unpredictable turn radius, which makes it impossible to use the "steering wheel" like it is used in a car.
A timer circuit could help in many cases, but not in every case.
As I remember the front wheel is never aligned straight with the frame driving curves, although the deflection is very small in a shallow curve.
Also there is some acceleration sideways which could be used to switch off the turn signal if the signal returns to neutral.
Using the g-force which applies in any curve will be the most promising way to make a circuit which will work 100% in any case.
There are many accelerometers on the market able to detect the smallest acceleration force off the stationary position.
Just to give you an idea about the sensitivity of such a device: long before GPS came into play inertial navigation platforms were used to navigate an aircraft across the atlantic ocean with almost no error.
