  1. Design Review Analog Gauge w/ Digital Display Team Digital Burnout Senior Design Spring 2011

  2. Review Outline • Project Goal • Functional Overview • Functional Breakdown • Specifications • Display Concepts • Description/Picture • Pros vs. Cons • Future Plans • Webpage/Schedule

  3. Project Goal To design an aftermarket speedometer featuring an illuminated digital realization of the existing analog gauge movement, for use in Harley Davidson motorcycles. The gauge will have “plug and play” functionality and be easily visible in all lighting conditions.

  4. Functional Overview Various bike processes Gauge Processor/Controller Electrical Signals Functional Control Digital Output LED’s/LCD Bike Rider Light

  5. Functional Breakdown Broken down into four parts: • Gauge Input • Gauge Output • Projected Hardware (Electrical) • Projected Hardware (Non-Electrical)

  6. Gauge Input

  7. Gauge Output

  8. Projected Hardware (Electrical)

  9. Projected Hardware (Non-Electrical)

  10. Specifications

  11. Display Concept Discrete LEDs • Numbers being lit up by LEDs. • Central LCD Display for odometer, trip meter and error messages Multiple Design Options in one Figure

  12. Pros vs. Cons Discrete LEDs • Cons: • Accuracy is limited • Pros: • Usage of space (Small SMTs) • Quick visible representation of speed • Customizable

  13. Display Concept Arc LEDs • LEDs arranged in a rainbow or arc format. • Central LCD Display

  14. Pros vs. Cons Arc LEDs • Cons: • Requires many LED’s. • SMT’s may not be bright enough • Pros: • Usage of space (Small SMTs) • Accurate representation of speed (±2 mph) • Unique Style • Quick visible representation of speed

  15. Display Concept Digital Needle • LEDs arranged in a string or line format. • LCD Display can be in the direct center or bottom half of display

  16. Pros vs. Cons Digital Needle • Cons: • Not very accurate • Not stylish; choppy • Pros: • Customer is used to seeing a needle from an analog gauge • Ease of transition to buying a new product

  17. Future Plans • Snapshot Day • Testing • Acrylic cut-outs to observe dispersion of light • Trying smaller surface mount LED’s • Sunlight, Brightness, and Power Consumption testing • Evaluate Design effectiveness • Implement Designs • Research physical components to use • Acquire necessary components • Performance Tests • Prototype by end of semester/Expo
