DIY electronic cruise control

[I do not care.]

Hello everyone.




Regards

[Nobby the Bastard]

That's a hard pass from me.

I think 'hard' is meant in the sense of a
'very definite refusal with no discussion'

I like to tinker with duinos n stuff but that's a project I see no real need for so couldn't justify the time and effort to myself.
I've put in quite a few long, multi hour motorway trips on bikes
and know sometimes you need to rest your throttle hand, but found simpler solutions and saw no need to complicate things.

It's your time, bike and money of course so how you spend it is up you
but I'd be leery of fitting any device to my throttle that hadn't been
rigorously road tested and made fail safe.

Have you considered making a visor wiper?

He could have just not reply to the post. But he said hard. So it meant something. As for vigorous road tests my device is being tested. You probably know that none of the available aftermarket cruise controls are road certified. Except maybe for Harley but I wouldn’t bet on that.

How to die in one easy lesson:

Fit self built electronic cruise control to a bike with a cable throttle.

Does the cruise control thing move the throttle accordingly and can you back off using the throttle to override the cruise control so that you can do an emergency stop without having to press switches or buttons to make the cruise control stop interfering?

I would like to know his opinion. WDForte did explain but only for himself. Is Nobby the Bastard scared of this and would like to warn others? But since he have absolutly no experience / knowlage of my device, his fear/skepticism is rather his own irrational opinion.

The software running it on the Raspberry Pi, you made that?

Have you 3D printed things, are parts commonly available off the shelf already or are they produced for you in a factory somewhere?

Why do you think none of the available aftermarket cruise controls are road certified?

[I do not care.]

Ale the parts are off the shelf components easily available. The code i mine, i wrote it 99%.There are third party libraries used.
And all custom parts are designed by me and 3D printed.
I do not think that all the aftermarket cruise controls are not public road legal. The once i checked either have no information or its right out written: "OFF ROAD USE ONLY"
Even a yamaha deeler will not flash normal MT-09 ecu with software from the GT version, wich have a CC. Normal version is not certified for a cruise control. Liability reasons.

One wonders why all aftermarket ones aren't road legal....

The Yamaha cruise control works in a way that if you pull the clutch in or use the rear brake or use the front brake or twist the throttle to the closed position cancels your current speed setting.

Do any of those actions make your cruise control cancel your current speed setting?

Ok, I'll bite. I appreciate the challenge of making something, but I certainly wouldn't use it.

I have cruise control on my car, which I occasionally use. It uses radar to stop me ramming into the car in front. If I touch the brakes, it turns off. If I turn the steering wheel too far, it turns off. If I'm doing anything apart from going at a constant speed on a fairly clear motorway, it's either annoying or unusable because it keeps turning itself off to avoid crashing.

Do you have any of these safety features on your cruise control setup? In particular, turning it off when the rider uses the brakes or makes a hard turn? In an emergency situation I'm not looking for the button to turn off the cruise control, I'm braking and turning. If the cruise control is trying to keep my speed up during that manoeuvre, I'm crashing.

I used to use a loop of insulated electrical cable over the throttle that you can jam into the gap between the flange of the twistgrip and the switchgear with your thumb holding it in place. It pops out again if you move the throttle.

Of course the bake front or read cancels the CC. If there is no brake signal at startup it will not turn on. When the speed exceeds the the max it stops working. When you loos speed sensor signal it stops working. If the microcontroller brakes it stops working, when the signal, power or ground to the servo is cut it stops working. Older motorcycles do not have steering position sensors , i do not know if modern have, so i could not use it to cancel the operation. The clutch is incorporated in to the drive by wire version but i did not use it in my linkage version. The clutch in dl1000A only sends signal when fully engaged. I never fully engage a clutch even when stationary. During riding i only use two fingers on the clutch. I only need to press it fully to start the bike. I had a version of the device with a current sensor circut to cancel the CC with throttle twist but i decided to turn it off. Never realy needed it. And the whole device is 3D printed from ASA. How strong do you think it is. A strong twist and it brakes of. If this feature is requested i can easily incorporate it. It will take same time to code and test it but hardware side is simle.
