Parts Update

I have received so many parcels over the past few weeks it's unbelievable... But totally awesome.
I got my order from sparkfun and have done the Data Logger... I only have to wire it up to the cycle analyst, when that arrives tommorrow. I've used the Logomatic from sparkfun. And 2 of their 3.7v 900mah Lipo Batts in parallel (were on sale for $5 each). With a female usb connector. I think I will move this further in.


I have got loads of other parts... (Also Got an Arduino kit) Connectors for hall sensors motor/controller, connector for cycle analyst/logger, Flasher relay, Polymorph Thermoplastic, 2 Way Alarm, Mirrors and mounts, switch blocks, Tail light, indicators and load resistors, headlight, new front brake and bleeding kit, Koso Digital speedo.


Btw... Was photoshopped in a rush, so mind the rough edges...


Polymorph Is a thermoplastic in which melts at around 60 C. You can put it into boiling water and it will melt, then you can easily mould it or make a mount with it. I will be using it for making mounts and stuff. The alarm will be useful, because I don't want this baby stolen! And all the awesome LED lights, besides the headlight.

Soon arriving will be the eBay volt/amp meter, cycle analyst and 2 Rfid kits.. More info on this stuff when they arrive. I will be using the Rfid reader as ignition, so instead of a key I would just swipe the tag over it and I may have a removable key switch(as in the key can be left in a position and taken out), so I can set it on with the key, but not start or use the bike. Basically so I can use the rfid reader.Once swiped the reader sends out a short pulse so I think I need to wire in a relay to it. We'll see when it's here.
More photos when more stuff arrives.
