DIY Speedometer On Arduino: Instructables

This document describes how to build a DIY speedometer using an Arduino. It uses a hall sensor and magnet to detect wheel revolutions and calculates speed. A servo motor displays the speed on an analog scale. It also uses a 7-segment display as an odometer to show distance traveled. The speedometer is housed in a shoe sponge box and mounted on the handlebars of a bike for testing. Code and instructions are provided to help replicate the project.

DIY Speedometer on Arduino

by AlexGyver

This project based on Arduino, it will measure time of write odo in its EEPROM after bicycle is stopped, so
one revolution of wheel, then divide wheel's lenght on odo keeps in Arduino and not clears after system
this time, and it will be the speed. Revolutions of reboot.
wheel will be measured by magnet and hall sensor. I
used servo motor with arrow and scale to show the You can watch all process of making this device IN
speed, it looks like "analog". Also I used 7 segment THIS VIDEO
display to show distance (odometer), also arduino

Step 1: Components and Wiring

All we need:

Arduino NANO http://ali.pub/pd9j7

Hall sensor http://ali.pub/v9li4


Servo http://ali.pub/ukaeg
Display http://ali.pub/b8fzv
5V dcdc step up http://ali.pub/u5pg9
Lithium charger http://ali.pub/zvytc

Connect components by scheme.

Sketch for Arduino and library are here, on my GitHub page

Step 2: Body

Body is made of shoe sponge box. Servo and display are fixed by hot glue. Button fixed by superglue.

Step 3: Scale

Draw scale on thick paper and cut it off. Arrow is made of painted toothpick and fixed to servo by thermalshrink
tube

Step 4: Mount

Speedeter will be mounted on bike's handbar by tube mount. Sensor wire I wond around brake tube. Plastic cap is
body for hall sensor. Magnet I fixed on cable holder.

Step 5: Test Drive

Speedometer works correctly, and also it is strong enough to survive a very aggressive forest ride. That’s all I
wanted to show you, so see ya later! You can watch test drive video by this link
