Diagram showing how some of the hardware will be connected

Hardware needed

  • Raspberry pi 3 The raspberry pi 3 will be used because of its size and processing power.
  • Micro sd card 8gb or bigger This micro sd will hold the operating system used on the raspberry pi and all of the software that will make this project work
  • Motorcycle usb charger This connects to the 12v motorcycle battery and converts it to a female usb plug that will be used to power the raspberry pi
  • Waterproof temperature sensors These will be used to get the temperature of the engine and the exhausts
  • Micro usb cable This will plug into the motorcycle usb charger to power the Raspberry pi
  • USB B cable This is the cable used to connect the raspberry pi zero w to the Dynojet Power Commander V
  • Micro sd card reader/writer This will be used to flash the OS onto the micro sd for the raspberry pi
  • HDMI Male to HDMI Male This is used to connect the raspberry pi to a monitor to be able to set it up
  • Any usb keyboard This is used to connect to the raspberry pi to set it up

Hardware you should already have

The following hardware is expensive and if you do not already have access to this hardware I would not recommend buying it just for this project

  • Monitor or Tv with hdmi port Used to connect to the raspberry pi for set up
  • A windows 10 computer with at least one usb port Used for flashing OS on micro sd card and for getting the project to run on the raspberry pi
  • Dynojet Power Commander V An aftermarket fuel injection computer that controls the air/fuel ratio of a fuel inject motorcycle.
  • A fuel injected motorcycle (I will be used a 2008 Suzuki boulevard m50) Need a fuel injected motorcycle to use the Dynojet Power Commander V with. Fuel injected motorcycles are the easiest motorcycles to get data from

Software needed

The following software is for windows 10 computers

  • Putty A software that will be used to connect to the raspberry pi after the first setup
  • Raspberry Pi Imager for Windows 10 The software that will be used to flash the OS on the micro sd card
