V-Strom + Computer --> Stromputer! An Arduino based project, that adds the following features to a Mk1 (2004-2011) Suzuki V-Strom Motorcycles (DL650, DL1000)
- Auxiliary LCD display that can reside on the handle bar
- Automatic adjustment of LCD display back light using a photo sensor (i.e. at darkness dim LCD display, at full bright day brighten display)
- Show battery level indicator in volts (LCD)
- Show ambient/air temperature (F or C) (LCD)
- Digital LCD Display of gear position
- Analog display of gear position using 6 LEDs
- Configuration and diagnostics shell (command line), with a laptop and USB using Putty or Arduino IDE - can be done while bike is running!
- Upgrade of Firmware through USB port - can also be done while bike is running.
- Modular platform, can be adapted for other motorcycles.
DIY Cost: About $70! (in a full water resistant enclosure) Compare that to commercial gear indicators/battery indicator/temperature gauges.
Current status: Fully Functional (V1.09 - As of 2/7/2013)
Brickuino is a spin off project for BMW K75 Brick motorcycle, based on Stromputer
