DIY: in-cluster Gear Indicator + Shift Light

I've spent quite some time on this project, but finally I'm close to finishing it!

Here are some "teasers", a video and some pics...

Of course there will be a proper write up as soon as it's complete...

Alright...


Here is the schematic...

As you can see component count is as low as possible to fit in the tiny box.
The Switching PSU is a very nice small one I found online. You can see it in this photo:

Next to the PSU you can see the optocoupler IC that is used to convert the 0-12V pusle
of the tachometer signal (from the bike) to a nice 0-5V pulse for the ATMEGA input.
It is hardwired on top of the PSU

Tha ATMEGA 168 mcu is loaded with the ARDUINO bootloader to make reprogramming easier
and is set (via the fuse bits) to use the internal 8Mhz clock to minimize components.

Disconnect the speedo plug, spray it with contact cleaner, clean with hard brush and reconnect.
There are other ways you can check if your getting any pulses from the bike to the speedo,
but first clean the connections
