Anyone here installed a digital TERMOMETER or Digital TEMPERATURE gauge on their MC........i am wondering whats the normal temperature of our engines........

NO ANALOG PLS.....its outdated......technology been upgraded...he he he

here are an example schematics and what i am trying to build right now.....after the digital tacho, then the digital instrument display....eg..multipurpose changeable display like fuel reserve indicator, battery charge indicator, etc...now i am trying to build this.......

heres the schema..........

Sir Leinahtan saan mo balak ilagay yung sensor para makuha yung temp ng makina?

sir di kaya kapos kung 150 degree celcius ang maximum temp?

Sir! di naman siguro aabot 150c yung temp ng MC natin. IMHO

In my previous suzuki sport bike, 78c would be my temperature if I'm going above 120kph in 3rd gear. In city traffic, the temp can go to 105c even if I'm moving. The auxillary fan kicks in at this temp. The highest temp I ever experienced was 108c in mid day heavy traffic stuck somewhere in edsa. The manual says to stop the bike and let it idle if the temp goes to 120c. If it goes to 140c, it says to turn off the engine.

Sir Leinahtan saan mo balak ilagay yung sensor para makuha yung temp ng makina?

sa loob ng makina......putting a metal sensor and just calibrate it during run at high speed over rev situation......

sir di kaya kapos kung 150 degree celcius ang maximum temp?

i dont think na aabot sa 150 ang temperature reading ng isang MC......i doubt this.......

sa loob ng makina......putting a metal sensor and just calibrate it during run at high speed over rev situation......

sa loob? paano sir? actually sir meron kasi akong digital thermometer ang ginawa ko eh yung sensor diode na eh tinanggal ko sa board at nilagyan ko ng wire para humaba tapos sinuksok ko lang dun sa fins sa makina na malapit sa exhaust pipe.

Max temp reading ng XRM ko eh nasa 70 degrees celsius, di ko pa nailalagay sa harap temporary nasa U-Box pa sya kaya malalaman ko lang temp nya pag naka park na ako at bubuksan ko yung ubox ko.

Di yung sensor ng water temperature ng kotse...since air cooled MC natin right.....so bale sa oil temperature tayo mag base.......we only need to calibrate the circuit for the maximum temperature our oil can handle....of course water and oil temperature differs a lot......in terms of boiling time.....

You said that you have a digital temperature meter.......GOOD FOR YOU....but since nilagyan mo ng wire yung sensor......of course may possibility na reading error yan because of the resistance of the wire and thats critical in terms of reading......perhaps you have some knowledge about it.......CARRY ON

yup sir meron nga pero 1 degree celsius lang ang nadagdag, like i said na 70 degrees sya pero actual reading nya is 71. Kasi bago ko nilagyan ng wire tinesting ko muna sya at testing ulit nung may wire na, tinest ko sa soldering iron para sa high temp at tinapat ko sa aircon para sa low temp nya kaya nalaman ko na 1 degree lang ang nadagdag.

pwede kaya yung sensor na pang kotse ang ikabit kong sensor dun? baka mas malaki maging reading (+/-) error nya at saan part mo ilalagay yung sensor? at isa pa masyado malaki yung pcb, pwede kayang baliin ko yun tapos i-connect ko nalang ng mga wires yung mga linya?

Di ko lang masyado kabisado pero sa SUKS engine namin may isa pang drain plug located sa cylinder block namin dun ko pwede ilagay yung sensor kasi may lumalabas na oil dun so pwede nya ma sense yung init ng oil ko.......

Basta sa ilalim ng engine mo yan at di sa outside nya para mas klaro ang reading...of course sabi mo nga sa fins mo nilagay where pag dumaan na hangin sa sensor iba na ang reading coz theres a difference between the internal and external temperature sa engine....right.......

ano size nung pang kotse? baka pwede sa drain plug ilagay? okey ba yung temp. gauge na nilalagay sa dipstick?

ok din yun nagdedepende naman yun sa flexible tube na nag va vary accdg. to temperature...thus moving the coil....kaya nagkakaron ng reading....yun ang talagang analog type........

may digital din tulad ng sa yo....pero sa tingin ko lang ha....parang ang laki nyang aparato pero....stable yan......digital temperature meter yan.....

So sign off na.......give updates kung ano mangyayari sa temp gauge mo na yan......

bro you can try sa drain plug! bili ka na lang ng isa pang drain plug tapos pabutasan nyo yun bolt sa gitna. pwede nyo dun ipasok yun sensor. just make sure na sealed para di tumagas sa ginawang butas.

ano b asize nung drain plug ng XRM? saan nakakabili nun?

bro di ko sure eh... much better kung mag-change oil ka eh kunin mo muna yun drain plug tapos punta ka ng hardware store... hanap ka ng ka-size... mura lang naman yun tapos pabutasan mo na lang sa amchine shop... try mo rin sa mga honda service centers... tanong mo lang kung meron sila para makabili ka. tanong mo na rin yun part number para post mo na lang dito

Project almost completely done.....not yet installed but tested already....very accurate....100 degree celcius display on boiling water.....PICS soon......

sir suggest ko lang may nakita na rin ako nyan sa net, on air cooled engine, inilagay nya sa pagitan ng sparkplug n cylinder head, so parang spacer between the sparkplug n head ung sensor nya. try mo nlang i google, bale ung temp ng head ang kinukuhanan dito ng reading. ung temp ng head asa 75 to 85c using infrared temp meter, ung ir ang sensor, gun type cya, eto ung ginagamit namin sa pagkuha ng temp ng smokestack n chimney ng boiler.

yup i know that...but this one sense the oil temperature since air cooled dont have radiator......nice idea though....thanks...

Ayusss...:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

OT:

Sir Lei i-market mo na yan...sana kahit digital temp lang para mapamodify kona lang sa fairings...

More PRE testing.....like what i did to the TACHOMETER...it didnt failed me...hopefully this will be test when PSRC have a group ride at long trip.....want to know the highest temperature of the engine at EXTREME course.......

any updates? may pix na ba?

Kumusta na po yung project???

watch mode ako dito.. interesting toh.. hehehehe

sir may binili ako na digital gauges sa net. Trail Tech ang brand name. yung temp sensor nya spark plug washer sya kasi air cooled 2 stroke yung bike ko. kung two stroke po ang bike hindi pwedeng sa engine oil kunin ang temp kasi hindi naman pumupunta sa cylinder ang langis. kung 4 stroke ok lang cguro.

watch mode

tried to build this project bu sad to say the ic is not available anywhere in raon, i ended up making my own digital temp gauge with a digital multimeter. its working fine now.

. . . a digital multimeter . . . .
a what?:D pics naman jan . . . also, pa-detalye paano mo ginawa . .
tia:C

materials needed.

a cheap vmm at deeco worth 320
lm35 temp sensor
lm 7805 5v regulator
6v relay
wires
pics to follow.:)

watch mode
sana trio na gauge pwede kabit sa side ng mc
batt. meter
oil temp.
tach.

finally uploaded my pics. sorry for the crappy resolution .

patingin naman po ng pix. di ko makita...

refresh mo po. i changed the links

pahingi naman po ng schematics.

heres a simple diagram i made

ayus yan ah
kelan out nyan sa market?

saan po naka mount yung temp sensor IC at pano po conversion ng voltage to temperature??

i made an improvised washer from an aluminum tube simila to those in antennas, epoxied the sensor insied the tube then made the end to look like a washer, parang ground terminal lug. the washer is then installed on one of the bolts on the head, find one accessible and easy to remove. In this case what you meaure is actual head temp instead of water or oil(afterall we're protecting the engine head not the oil). convertion is direct , example 456 is equal to 45.6 degrees celcius. in the pics is 693 or 69.3c. that was my temp after parking. this is very useful since i can monitor my temps when im in traffic and cruising, the highest i reach was 104 when i got stuck in traffic for almost 15min, but after moving it drops down to 69 to 80.

nice one sir. yung commercially available na digital temp gauge sa spark plug washer nakalagay ang sensor.

you have a replacement IC for PIC16F872 at alexan. You can use PIC16F877, you just have to make sure that you place it on the same ports. Though I find it useless to share this for there's no code provided. So, even if you find a PIC16F872, it WILL not work without the code

too risky to use a replacement, the replacement ic is 320pesos and not sure if it will work, the cheap dmm is 320 also so i settled for this one.
