Prosport Gauges

[cybotmaster]

Are prosports tachometers (like this one here: http://prosportgauges.com/80mm-tachometer.aspx) compatible with the rev burner?

It should work perfectly fine with a RevBurner.

In fact, because it apparently supports as low as 1 cylinder engines, it shouldn't require too many pulses from the controller to drive the entire 10k rpm range.

hello on same topic of prosport gauges

does anyone had luck with oil pressure gauge from prosport. on mine the reading is jumpy .  I have prosport temp gauges that work fine but not the oil pressure gauge.

is there a diy trick to fix this?


thanks

Hi.
what do you mean with jumpy?
is it jumpy all the time?  or do you mean that when you configure it, the needle jumps from one position to another but you can't set it to intermediate values?

Any update to the guy with the jumpy gauge?

Hello.
what do you mean with jumpy exactly?

does it mean that the needle keeps moving back and forth instead of staying still on a specific value?

if this is the case, that happened to me too.
I solved it adding a capacitor between the signal wire and the GND wire.

this is what I used:

http://www.rapidonline.com/electronic-components/220uf-35v-non-polarised-capacitor-11-3078

mine was a 220uF cap. I had to try few before finding the correct value.
it's an electrolytic capacitor. this mean that probably it is polarized. it mean where is only one way to connect it.
one lead is longer than the other. the longer lead is the positivi and must be connected to the signal wire (S1...S6). the short lead connect to GND. it's very important you don't connect the the other  way round or it will explode (seriously).

if you decide to buy few capacitors, I suggest you buy a small selection of values, like this one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electrolytic-Capacitor-Selection-Kit-105-piece-k001-/290955349972?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item43be4a4fd4

it will be easier if you have different values to try, until you find the correct one.
