That's amazing, dude! You have done some seriously cool projects. I am interested in a low battery indicator with a user programmable alarm threshold. Any ideas?Originally posted by rahuldevnath View Post(6) Low battery indicator - way back in 1999!
(7) Heated Riding Gloves/Jacket
(8) Cooled Helmet
And the most outrageous
(9) Night Vision Riding Heads Up Display- Seriously!
And tell me about the cooled helmet and the night vision display. They sound absolutely wicked!Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!Comment

wow .. awesome dude .. u should have changed your battery min 5 timesOriginally posted by rahuldevnath View Postha ha.. Well electronics is my hobby, just that! tried doing many innovative projects, for bikes, some them included -
(1) Automatic Cigarette Lighter - Something I just thought off. I don't smoke, but my friend does. I used get quiet irritated with his frequent fag breaks. So thought, what If the guy and inhale the fags via pipe, light them with a switch and can enjoy on the move without letting the hands off!
(2) Cooler on the move - Cooling/Heating water on bike! As explained.
(3) Mobile Charger/USB Charger/Inverter on Bike
(4) 9 years back, Automatic illuminated storage space of My Kinetic NOVA- that was way before scoots incorporated lights in under seat storage!
(5) Half Duplex Motorcycle Intercom
(6) Low battery indicator - way back in 1999!
(7) Heated Riding Gloves/Jacket
(8) Cooled Helmet
And the most outrageous
(9) Night Vision Riding Heads Up Display- Seriously!
i really liked your 8th and 9th points .. but have no idea how did you do it

i really liked your 8th and 9th points .. but have no idea how did you do itWell, how about installing a variable resistor in the circuit which triggers the Buzzer/LED? when the voltage falls below certainThat's amazing, dude!

Well about the Cooled helmet - The principal remains the same, using a perltier cooler. But we need to make a cut out in the helmet, and install fans at both the ends of the TEC (peltier).
Night Vision - Made use of Camcorder, IR/Night Vision. And the live feed from the camera was sent to a 5 inch LCD screen, either as Heads Up Display or Helmet Mounted Display. Installed 2 arrays of IR LED, consisting of 30 IR LEDs compared to 4 in camcorder. BTW each IR LED 2 years back costed me about 200 bucks!
Usage - See without Headlights, ultra low power consumption, and even a small light is magnified. Never went ahead in actually making full fledged system, but tested with a Handy Cam and it is insanely wicked!!
The best part is that.. it's as good as Night Vision Goggles, used by the military. And you can actually walk in pitch dark jungles without anybody knowing.Been There, Done That; Better!Comment

And regarding the battery level indicator, I will most probably use a variable resistor fixed to the base of a transistor which in turn drives a LED. Do you have any circuits? That would make my task a bit easier!

No dude, i meant you can use these night vision to walk in pitch dark without using a torch!now dont tell me that you made shoes that can float over ground
Yes, I had spent 6K on it. But fortunately I had got it thorough one my cousin, from China.Originally posted by abhijeet080808 View PostDude that is 6000 bucks for LEDs alone! Did you actually use the system while riding? If so, how was the experience?

Edit - This circuit seems good - 12 Volt Battery Low Indicator LM741 - Electronics
I tried using it, although the experience didn't yield any practical usage. But I do remember that time i was in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. And while riding with a 5W bulb was enough to illuminate the road clearly. There were no HID's that time, so had to think about something to increase light spread.
The world looks green, but practically if can make use of such a device, our 35W bulbs would be enough for riding at 100Kmph!
And yeah the circuit seems good enough, and I think that's exactly you are looking at? Or you have have digital input system in mind??. Though I don't have the circuit which i had built.Last edited by rahuldevnath; 06-07-2009, 01:08 PM.Been There, Done That; Better!Comment

Initially, I was thinking of making a digital system. Maybe, a microcontroller with inbuilt ADC (say ATMEGA 32) and a 2x20 character LCD. But this circuit seems so easy and frankly, a digital system seems to be an overkill, if used for battery voltage alone. Maybe someday, will make a digital system with temperature readings, battery voltage etc. And then, there is the question of mounting the LCD somewhere on the console.Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!Comment

excuse me are u some kinda scientist or what...these words seems like greek and latin languages to meOriginally posted by abhijeet080808 View Post

I would say, at least on the bikes, the more analogue the better.Initially, I was thinking of making a digital system.

Although it wo'nt be practical, but love to see, a digital console displaying
Battery Voltage, Consumption, charging Rate. See if you can make one.. we can market it!

Hehehe.. well I am just an electronics student, so have a tendency to talk in that way!Originally posted by ceasar View Postexcuse me are u some kinda scientist or what...these words seems like greek and latin languages to me
Yeah, fuel consumption! That is a useful thing. I have been thinking about it. Only if I had some idea about the types of flow meters available and where I can get one here in India! Can you help me there?Originally posted by rahuldevnath View PostI would say, at least on the bikes, the more analogue the better. And then the LCD has to be weather proof as well.

i actually miss -
1). a GPS
2). an easily adjustable/removable touring visor(large size like the avenger ones)
3). a luggage carrier without compromising the bike's looks(dont know how its gonna happen, but innovation is what we need )
4). comfortable rider and pillion seats, which dont start biting your ass in just an hour..
5). tyres capable of holding a puncture for atleast some distance.. m not talking about tubeless ones...I like to meditate a lot.. On my BIKE!Comment

Most of the feature we talk here, like GPS, Intercom, HID, Riding Mode Selection, Real time Fuel Consumption, Real time range are all part of most modern liter class bikes!Yeah, fuel consumption! That is a useful thing. I have been thinking about it. Only if I had some idea about the types of flow meters available and where I can get one here in India! Can you help me there?
I really don't have much info about fuel meters. But I feel it would much easier to manipulate an ECU. As in a FI system, such parameters are recorded, though not in our Indian Bikes. Still we can try experimenting with a ECU... how about that?Been There, Done That; Better!Comment
