Just so you know, those values are still untested estimates, been busy with other stuff so haven't had time for this, I'm on vacation for the next week so I'm planning to get this thing forward and draw the circuit board, there's a long trip coming at the first weekend of august that I'm konda keeping as deadline to get mine done.

 

Sorry for the wait, still haven`t had this any forward cause I`ve been lazyBUSY with other stuff... Will try to get this done right after the trip at the first week of august...

 

Well? Any updates?

 

Tellu you the truth I've kinda forgotten the whole thing,sorry guys... I'm gonna finish it, I promise! Hopefully somewhere soon, just took the parts bag out on the table so I'll remember it, wont even take long when I manage to whip my lazy bum to it...

 

FINALLY I've gotten something done with this, just did a test circuit with jumper wires and found out the startup delay circuit isn't working properly for some reason so I'm gonna remove it for size and siplicity at least from the first version, with this pace expect the evo 2 to be released some time at 2025 I filmed a short video from the test and gonna post it during the weekend, the device does work BUT since the delay circuit is removed the bike has to already be on it's side stand when you turn the power off or it will deploy. I've been trying to find a free circuit board designing program but they all either prove to be "test evaluation versions" that doesn't let you save or so hard to use they're beyond me so Im gonna try to do the board with paint probably during the weekend also. I happened to get a good pile of leftover "blank" circuit board from one firm at work so when I order the printable "press n peel" sheets I should be able to produce multiple boards and send them to willing members when I get them done (somewhere in the future) I'll announce here if I manage to succesfully produce several usable boards.

 

Little proof that I`ve actually done something

The delay`s not awfully long but IMO long enough, it`s now set up with a 10K mF capacitor, I tried it with a 30K mF capacitor too, the delay is naturally significantly longer but the capacitor is MASSIVE and hard to get into any kind of casing...

EDIT: whaaaaat, over 1000 views?! Sorry all this is taking so long, I`ll try to get it finished shortly...

 

The circuit board:


Not exactly professional work but the best I can come up with...

In case you want to make your own, scale it so that it is 58mm wide and 43mm high.



Crude assembly pic, more coming when the print sheets come sometime next week and I have time to make the actual board.

 

Changed the circuit board slightly, now it only needs to be 36mm high.
