Great video. And one I can use for starters. I am rebuilding the odometer / speedometer on my old Ford Model T and only need to use a stepper motor to rotate the speedometer drum relative to speed and use a LCD screen below it to replace the mechanical counters. My problem is as follows: on the digital readout the top row will show the trip odometer, which you are already doing, The second row will be the odometer showing total miles so as to add the trip mileage to the odometer every 1/0 of a mile and then be able to keep that total when power is removed from the arduino. I am hoping to use a condenser on the input so that one pin detects the power off and the condenser keeps feeding power for a couple of seconds allowing the software to record the last odometer reading and bring it up again when the power is restored. That is what I do not know how to do.
G'day Alan, I have come to say what an absolutely mad project, I have finished building it, and it works like a charm. I will build a housing for it and use it! Thanks for building such a wonderful project!!!
Very good project, I did it myself and it works perfectly. One question, can you register more kilometers for example with four or five digits?. Thank you!
Where can we find more information on the circuit schematics? It's quite confusing. Found something on the Arduino site but that does not help much. Would be great if you could share details. Many thanks.
G'day, I've come to ask, can you clarify the hall effect sensor schematics as there are three available pins, and only two are used in your circuit. I am using an Arduino Compatible Hall Effect Sensor from Jaycar Electronics.
Hi Felix. I am using 3 pins. Two are for power (5v and ground - red and black cables respectively) and the third one is for the on/off signal (blue wire).
Hi Rafael. It seems the project is no longer on the Arduino Hub. Please go to this link: www.hackster.io/AlanDeWindt/bicycle-odometer-and-speedometer-with-99-lap-period-recorder-331d2b
Hi Shubham - I have not tested it at those kinds of rpms, so no idea if the hall sensor will be able to keep up or the Arduino at its operating speed with my code. If you have the parts handy and can build it, I would say that it is worth a try.
If your hall sensor has a potentiometer on it you can turn up the sensitivity so it can detect a magnetic field from a farther distance giving it more time to detect the magnet.
Hi Jaydeb - yes, that should work as well. The only drawback is if you ride in the rain or mud where water or mud could interfere with the IR sensor. This is why I chose a magnetic sensor which is more reliable in these conditions.
Great video.

Hi Felix, glad to hear it!
good job dude thanks for the information :D

hi a very very nice project! really impressive if i have an i2c lcd ' what should i do ?
Why is your setup in the video different from the setup on the Arduino page? Will this have an effect on the way the code should be typed?
Best ever
Show us the proteus setup too

can i use the same for a bike / scooty which travels around 60km/hr
This ain't work because it's work based on hall sensor

Please can you share code
just go to arduino page search alan de windt and ind this product and then you have both code and circuit diagram
Where can I find the code? im not finding it in the arduino project page
Hi Rafael. It seems the project is no longer on the Arduino Hub. Please go to this link: www.hackster.io/AlanDeWindt/bicycle-odometer-and-speedometer-with-99-lap-period-recorder-331d2b
@@alandewindt thanks!
G'day shrimp on the Barbie
how can I change this from kph to mph?
Probably in the code
Where is the code
Please diagrams and code
Code ...
Is it work for high rpm about 900 rpm
Hi Shubham. I have no idea if it will work at such high speeds. You would have to test it.

rubbish code
hi Allan kindly send me the code and all the list of the components used via my email
can i use ir sensor
Hi Jaydeb - yes, that should work as well. The only drawback is if you ride in the rain or mud where water or mud could interfere with the IR sensor. This is why I chose a magnetic sensor which is more reliable in these conditions.
But if you were to model and print a case for the ir sensor using ABS you could fix that problem.
