Hey guys,
This is my first post here! I did do a quick search but couldnt find anything that helped so I figured I would post up. As a warning, I am totally ignorant in the knowledge of what goes into the making of small electronics. I'm a quick learner and understand the basic properities of most parts; I just don't know how to put it all together.
My project goal is to correct the speed displayed on my motorcycle speedometer.
To accomplish this I will need to create something that will modify the input signal coming in from the speedo sensor into an increased or decreased pulse to adjust the speedometer.
My understanding of the speedo sensor is that it is based off a magnet going over a speed ring mounted on the wheel. Because of the magnet goes over this ring (which alternates between a metal piece then a space then back to metal, etc) in this fashion, it is my understanding this would create a pulse of sorts in the two wires coming from the sensor.
In my mind this project just seems very easy but the most I have done is spliced wires together or put together preassembled computer parts. So I dont really know how easy/hard a project like this is.
Any help will be appreciated as it will help me learn to do a new hobby!
