hey welcome back you may be wondering what this Arduino board with a shield
this giant chunk of steel and this old steel pallet have in common well there
but can become my Dyno so first up we have the Arduino shield two-strokes
stuffing was selling these I picked this up about a year ago because I was
looking for a large electric motor to make one out of and which is coming up
kind of short I couldn't find anything I don't know if he's still selling these
boards or not and the back has just didn't Arduino but this is where I got
mine from you may still have some for sale he may be making another batch I'm
not sure he'd have to bug them but it's basically a Arduino based Dino software
it has an RPM pick up and you can also input vehicle rpm it also has a bunch of
inputs along the side you can input other values and the Arduino our Dino
will scale that's information into your crack it's a pretty neat for for
basically free it's a pretty neat piece of kit definitely check about you
probably already are if you're watching me then next up we have these two
beauties so this is a giant hunk of Steel it is mild steel of some sort with
a mild steel piece of shaft and these are bearings out of a blower system like
a ventilation system just all repurposed stuff trying to make this as cheaply as
possible and lastly I have this which is a full pallet from a CNC
machine that my buddy's shop got yeah it's a big heavy tubing pallet so that's
going to be the frame for the dyno and I'm gonna build up around it hopefully
you'll have the basics of the frame done tonight
and the operates and then tomorrow maybe I'll go get some sheeting and finish
this thing up so I think it's time to just jump into this and start
so instead of boring me with a bunch of stuff of me welding and cutting and you
know sped up scenes let's just cut to the actual cool step of this thing
actually being built so the frame all this lower frame is an old pallet from a
CNC machine she got it from my buddy and it actually made almost the entire base
the only material I actually had to buy was these this one by one so then this
decking is just some scrap metal that we saved from the dumpster from a local
place and this is one a piece of that pallet cut in half made into L bracket
and then the wheel chop is just sliding and then those big holes the pins that
go in to is the braces off of a CNC router table that that picked up the
last week or so and then on the back here I have a removable decking plate
but it bolts down so that I can do maintenance oil the bearing or lubricate
the bearings if I need to take it apart to move it or whatever it's easier with
the roller out of there because the roll were super heavy so that just makes it a
little bit easier as well but all in all this is pretty much it I still have to
do the electronic side of it I ordered the sensor needed to pick up
the RPM signal off Amazon so it will hopefully be here Tuesday I think and I
already have the AR dyno board picked up off two-stroke stuffing I still need to
pick up an inductance clamp and for the bike rpm and a fan like a squirrel cage
fan like a air mover fan just so that I can have some cooling for radiators and
stuff but it's not bad for again just all mostly repurpose stuff things that
were left over from things and whatnot so the other only other step I can think
of left really to do is to paint this thing probably just gonna paint it your
typical trim clad Dino red but so I think next episode hopefully it'll be
hooking up the electronics doing a couple of test runs with it and
calibrating it and trying to get it going then I'll kind of give you a
general idea how spinning a giant mask and give you horsepower but I think
that's it for me until next time take care
