    I still say a small warning horn separate from the sound system. But who am I to say? You're the one staying up all night! Thx for working on this.

    You're now the 3rd person to cast that vote... so I think a horn is "sounding" good

    Audible Alert

    Would it be simple enough to run the LED trigger to a relay to activate the factory horn?
    Might scare the hell out of you but it would get your attention quick enough for a catastrophic tire failure.

    That's actually a brilliant idea Ted.

    Someone recently asked me in another thread how this is coming, but I only saw the question briefly in-passing. I thought I'd be able to come back to the question and reply but I can't find it! So I apologize for not responding in that thread.



    I have custom PCBs for the sensors in hand and I'm patting myself on the back for getting the sizing as good as it seems; the boards drop nice and snugly into the sensor housing that I want to use. The only tasks left for the sensor is to assemble the loose parts onto the board, connect the battery, and seal it back up with potting material.

    I have a couple of technical issues to figure out on the receiver... and then need to figure out how to package it up and mount it on the bike.

    The alarm could be a simple AND gate tied to a PC relay then on to a piezoelectric buzzer. With the AND you don't complicate it with a separate circuit for each tire. It alarms and you look at your display. Great work Largo!
