How to offer job for board and LED design?

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I am very sorry if this is not the correct place for this question.

 

I am a machinist and manufacturer of a motorcycle throttle lock and recently purchased some boards for displays that read a pot from an electric bicycle throttle and use that information to light up a series of LEDs that are mounted on the board. Basically it is an RPM gauge.

 

Unfortunately the LEDs are very dim and I am hoping to have a few boards made that I can use to light much brighter LEDs. I know 3D design, CAM, G-Code and machining, but electronics are a foreign language to me. There are a few other design considerations and constraints but I was poking around and saw the Arduino Nano and love the small form factor since ideally this needs to fit into a small mirror housing.

 

Free time isn't something I have in large supply and would prefer to pay for help to design vs. buying a bunch of stuff and playing/testing/learning as I don't have any other known usages for digital boards and learning to program them.

 

I appreciate anyone's time for reading. Perhaps pointing me to information or someone interested in doing the design.

    Hi Brian, One thing you might try is simply replacing the LEDs on the cards you have with brighter devices. Any LED with a brightness rating over 1000 millicandellas will be visible in direct sunlight…

    I agree with Andy, it should be straightforward to swap the LEDs out. Those arrays are a bit tricky to desolder but there are tools for that. There is also a single resistor (two in your case since the…

    Thank you guys. These are not going to go on-bike but merely sit on a counter at a motorcycle dealership so customers can't watch the display and play along to learn how to use the product. I was under…

    I am in Anaheim CA and would prefer someone local if possible.
