Here it is installed
This is the compendium display - when RPM is zero.
The button at the base is the headlight button
I changed the under-way display around a little bit - it cycles through 2 different display modes,
this is battery by percent and DTE, which right now is just 20 minus odometer - I need to do the discharge slope math and make the DTE more accurate.
This is battery by volt, and trip odometer.
If I had it to do all over again there are a couple of changes I’d make. This particular assembly was designed for a different project so I had to use it as is. If I were to spin a new circuit board I would
move the connector to the center so I could make the whole assembly lower profile. (currently the connector is directly over the extruded rail)
Power the assembly independent of the FocBox. The problem is when I power it down I don’t have any control over what is displayed. It would be nice to have some sort of outro display similar to the intro display. I might even have to power it independent of the battery bank - like a couple of supercaps so it has just enough juice to close out gracefully.
With the old board I had an LED voltage display - I could see at a quick glance whether it was powered up or not. This display is static when powered down, so I don’t really know unless I look closely whether the board is powered up. So an indicator LED or something would be good. Not that this is a big deal since the loop key is right there.
Next up, road test!
