indirectly in this project work with special thanks to our classmates.

ABSTRACT

A new design has been proposed for bike gear indicator that can be fitted to any
motorcycle as an aftermarket accessory. Its main advantage is that its operation
depends entirely on the gear shift lever movement, instead of connecting to
speedometer and tachometer sensors which are rarely available in older
motorcycles. The main objective of this project is to detect the gears number on
which a bike is running.
A bike gear indicator comprises of two hall sensors and a controller. The hall
sensors detect the shifting operation of gear. The controller is operatively
coupled to the hall sensors to determine the continuous gear shifting operation
based on gear shift selection signal from the hall sensors. These hall sensors
works under the presence of magnetic field which is provided by the magnets
present at gear lever.
Furthermore, a 16*2 LCD display is configured to the controller that generates a
shift notification corresponding to gear shifts.
