Hi!
Organizing files on my computer and looking to the pictures of my last travel to Europe, i remembered, that in the end of two weeks of everyday riding I had a sore wrist and desperately wanted a cruise control. I can buy something like Rostra CC for 300$ (too much, I think?) or even cheap plastic throttle grip fixer, but I want some fun) So I decided to make cruise control based on Arduino.
I'm not the first one who got this idea, there are a lot of examples of hand-made CC in the internet. So electronic and logic parts of it , I sure, is doable, I did some sketches of scheme already. Even kids do much more sophisticated projects on this platform, why not me?). Just ordered arduino kit to design a prototype and test it.
But the one unclear question for me now, is how to make a mechanical linkage from servo to the throttle pulley on the carbs. My ST1100 still sits in the garage, while owner stuck in France on Covid quarantine. He is ok, and I have some time while he returns back. But I need some dimensions of this part. If anyone, who have dissembled ST, or going to dig into carburetors, please take some measurements.
I would highly appreciate if you measure throttle cables movement range from idle to full, and diameter of throttle pulley. Also, would be nice to measure distance between screws placed right above the pulley. Please, check how big is a space behind the carbs, in front of that pulley, and on the left side of the carbs to place box with servo. Detailed pics and video would be appreciated too ) Just put the pic of the carb, which i found in the internet, to visualize what i need as minimum.
Thank you and have a nice day)
