You can infer the gear based on vehicle speed and engine speed.
That's how gear indications work on most manual cars too: there's no actual sensor telling what gear is selected (other than reverse, and sometimes clutch pedal and neutral).
- diggan 1y ago> You can infer the gear based on vehicle speed and engine speed. Wouldn't that be highly variable based on the vehicle itself? Especially considering personal modifications tend to be common for motorbikes.
- HPsquared 1y agoYes that makes it harder to make a general system. It could have a "learning" function to pick this up though.
- echoangle 1y agoYes, but you could calibrate it once manually. > Especially considering personal modifications tend to be common for motorbikes. Including gearbox? The only thing relevant for the functionality would be the transmission ratio for each gear.
- HPsquared 1y agoPeople often change sprockets which changes the final drive ratio.
- bastawhiz 1y agoIf you have vehicle speed and engine speed you simply don't need to know the gear to know when engine braking is happening.
