Hello all..
One of the mods I am doing on my 1975 CB250G project is upgrading all the electrical system and controls. I wanted to simply the turn, horn, and light switches into a single module to have less wires and have a clean look. I saw that motogadget was selling a system that had the bells and whistles I needed, but it was too expensive and I thought hey I could make one my self for much less using an Arduino microprocessor and machining my own control ring. After a few days, of programming I got it to work. I still have the circuit at the breadboard stage, but I am working on the PCB, final wiring, and housing currently.
Features:
I plan to add a pressure transducer to the fuel line to have a fuel level reading next.
Will keep you posted as I go along and finally integrate it.

Features:
- The control module has 3 buttons: HI/LOW, LEFT/RIGHT, HORN.
- When you press the turn botton once = LEFT, 2 press = RIGHT, 3 press = OFF
- Low beam is by default, Hi beam one button press.
- Horn is a direct 12v connection, so no interface is needed to the controller.
- Used solid state relay to not have the annoying clicking sounds.
- When the turn signal light is on for more than 3 minutes, it turns off automatically.
- If you hold the turn light button for more than 2 second it also turns off.
