I can confirm that it does work with the disc magnet setup and works very well 😀 I bought another Bosch slim speed sensor, only so it fit nicely in the oem bracket and wouldn’t have to worry about zip tying it. This second sensor went into the arduino and then the original sensor (plugged into...
I have a rotor magnet and am just waiting for my power cable to be delivered and will confirm if it works or not using this method. I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t. As you say it’s just a reed switch so may even work better than the motor sensor setup as that is measuring magnetic field...
Sorry, quick question on the transistor. In your diagram you have emitter to electromagnet, base to D3 and collector to ground but the description says Base to Ground, emitter to electromagnet and collector to D3.
Please can you confirm which is correct?
Thanks
Ok, I think the safest option would be to have a secondary reed switch picking up my rotor magnet then have an electromagnet inside the tube near my existing speed sensor. There are a lot of ifs and maybes with my idea.
Quick question, why don't you relocate your rim magnet sensor and put the...
Thanks Megabobra, I was planning not to run an additional reed switch and coil. I was planning on having the 3.3v powering the Pro Mini, when the magnet passes the existing switch that goes into the Arduino which delays it and then sends it back via the existing cable. Would that work? Not sure...
Looking at this post it appears the speed sensor is only 3.3v, is this enough to power the Arduino if I was to cut the wire and put between the sensor and the motor?
Hi, I am interested in the megabobra approach, I have a Cube Stereo 160 which has the magnet on the brake disc. Can I put this solution between the existing magnet and sensor (e.g. have an additional sensor where the original one is, go through the Arduino then put out a reduced magnet read to...
