TOPIC: Speedo onboard ;]
#37592
Speedo onboard ;] 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
... I was bored waiting for prescripted medicine for friend's mum in ASDA ... I was wandering among the shelves... Then I found this speedometer and I thought: why not put it on my landboard?
So I purchased it and 30 minutes later it was fixed on, well it is not a final setup, just want to know if there is any use of this, but it seems to wrk fine.
Here's a few pics:

ha ha cables should be a bit mor tidy organised and this is very bad place to put a meter but yeah, this cost 9quid only and will give you a lot of info about your ride ;]
It should be pretty acurate as well as the setup for a wheel size is travelled milimiters per one revolution (610 in this case)
Will let you guys know further after I take the test run which will be probably soon ;]

So, I made a test - open passenger door of my car, my friend kept the board outside, and for safety reasons we checked it up to 20mph.
Max speed recorded on the board is 19,6mph, which makes my satisfied ;]
IT WORKS!

Forgot to clarify regarding to the pictures that the bolt underneath the magnet has been turned over so it makes a 'dip' for the magnet bolt.
