MICROCONTROLLER BASED SPEEDOMETER & ODOMETER

PROJECT TYPE

This project has been designed to display Speedometer along with Odometer using microcontroller.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

  Here we are going to construct “Microcontroller based Speedometer –cum – Odometer” for general motorbike. This project uses a microcontroller, an LCD display and some commonly available components. It is a better alternative to the mechanical speedometer and even a beginner with minimal skill level can assemble it.

The features of this project are;

1.    Digital readout

2.    Speed display in km/hour

3.    Distance traveled displayed in kilometers

4.    Readings saved in non-volatile memory (EEPROM)

5.    No mechanical wear and tear

6.    Easy to built and fix onto the bike.
