:D
cool, you answered correct :thumb: lol
i think back when we did mine we did an average of ten attempts just to be overly sure. As for the autocalibration lol lol lol lol that never did inspire me with confidence, if that was as easy as it read i would also expect the unit to make me a cup of coffee afterwards
remembered that vid you showed me......no, not that one ;) - the one of the Nurberg with PiP of the home made G-meter!
tell me about it - I felt the same!
maybe I should do a few more tests, but as said I'm not too bothered about it being so accurate that I have to rely on it to read 29.9mph to go through a 30zone speed camera...
i like the fact its a decimal point speedo, ie: 100.7mph lol thats pretty cool.
another thing I could do to test it, is to ride down to Combe with my TomTom sat nav in the car aswell, to see if they both match
the vid i showed you, with a ping pong ball, and a G spot meter... was that not Debbie Does Dallas? no?Quote:

The 1/4mile would've been chosen as most users will be able to access (RWYB) a quarter mile to do the measurement on.
It does look very factory fit and sooooo lucky that the threads matched up on the pickup!
Was nice to catch up and chat earlier :thumb:
:cool:
Yeah Oli, was lucky that the threads matched... was kinda chuffed, was also nice to meet up, albeit absolutely lashing it down in a McDonalds carpark getting all hot and steamy in the 'barge of love'
Dan - as you had one of these prevously, was it identical? by which I mean - did you have to set the trigger points?
I'm struggling getting it calibrated, it' asking me how my trigger points there are, trigger points being the amount of 'points' that pass the sensor every one revolution of the wheel.
So I entered '01', thinking that the "point" was the magnet, so the magnet passed the sensor once every revolution, but now, apparnently I can do 234mph in first gear lol
The number of 'trigger points' go from 01 - 40... I've now set it to 2, and it looks more like what it should be, ie: 5th gear, 2krpm = 34.9mph... which is about right, but wanna make sure its calibrated correctly.
Can anyone shed any light?
Hmmmmm tbh its been so long ago since i fitted mine (nov 2004) that it doesnt ring any bells tbh, the sensor is of different design but the unit is identical. What i will do is dig out my old instructions tomorrow and have a quick read through and see if it jogs my memory :confused: It makes sense to do such a thing so we must of done something similar but what exactly doesnt spring to mind.......watch this space....
Bring the instructions tomorrow. I'll have a gander too
Is it not because you have the sensor mounted inline with the direction of rotation, whereas it should be perpendicular to it?
