This project is in early stages, the idea is to:
- Create an Arduino based motorcycle electronic unit for controlling electrical components for 'classic' (=older) motorcycles
- The project do not aim to replace or modify the motorcycle engine ignition system
- This system will typically "start" after the generator/alternator and rectifier/regulator on the motorcyle has done it's job
- Provide software and instructions free of charge
- Create a community for motorcycle- and Arduino enthusiasts that want to contribute
- Make the solution universal and configurable, it should be suitable for as many motorcycle brands and models as possible
Long term goals, depending on the success of the project:
- Provide a DIY kit with all parts needed
- Provide a completely built solution ready to be installed on the bike
Some of the benefits the system (hopefully) will give:
- Reliability: Individial solid state relays with inbuilt automatic fuses controls 12V to the bikes electrical components
- Simplify wiring: Single cable per component, separat wiring for input controls on handlebar and output power to components
- Providing customization: Setting parameters to enable features and how they should work
- Gives posibility to improve or add new features to the motorcycle (optional):
- Touch buttons instead of traditional handlebar switches
- Keyless ignition using bluetooth, RF-ID or "password" using input buttons
- OLED display instead of traditional speedometer, tachometer and warning lights
- Smart functions, ex: auto turn off indicator lights, not possible to trigger start motor when engine is running
- Alarm if bike is moved
- Use standard components compatible with Arduino / ESP32 chip
- Provide a budget friendly solution as an alternative to expensive commercial products
The software is developed using Visual Studio Code with PlatformIO The programming language is C++
