Well, I lost Wednesday and Thursday due to some bad weather messing with my arthritis. I only had half a day today to work on a few tedious things.
I made a plate to hold the magnet for the speedometer sensor. Then mounted the sensor on the rear fork.
I finished most of the wiring. But I forgot to connect the 12V DC-DC converter ON/OFF to Vin- so it fried once it received input voltage.
I jacked the rear wheel off of the ground and hooked up a power supply in place of the DC converter. I then ran a speed test of the rear wheel.
First test the speedometer was reporting 41.5MPH at full throttle.
I'll have to do more testing on Monday after I can confirm that the speedometer has an accurate wheel circumference inputted. And once I get a replacement 12v DC-DC converter and I can do some ride testing.
The freewheel mechanism and chain transmission works great. I do need to add a tensioner to the rear wheel chain though.
More developments as they happen and I'll explain the electrical setup better once I have it finished.
