Just got my MPGuino

Hi folks,
Just got mine in the mail today (ordered it a week or week and a half ago, so not much backlog at the moment).

I'm looking forward to figuring out how to install it on my BMW R1150RS. It's fuel injected, so I don't expect much trouble there, but it has a mechanical speedo, so I'm gonna have to rig a VSS sensor. My first attempt (and hopefully final!) will be rigging a magnet to a wheel, and positioning a HES somewhere on the front fork where it can pick up the magnet.

My next challenge will be building a waterproof enclosure for it the MPGuino - I often ride in inclement weather, though we haven't had much of that down here lately

I'm not much a fanatic for economy at the moment, but I like tinkering with things, and the MPGuino looked like a great tinker (I also picked up an Arduino UNO and an LCD, so I'd have bits to futz with, and something stable to install on the bike).

Will post back with updates!

Jason
