Hi,
I'm trying to make a lights board that i can use on my electronic bicycle generator to show students how much power they are generating. My idea is to have a traffic lights style lights board with lights coming on the faster the rider pedals (voltage increases)
My bicycle generator is a 12 volt system so was thinking of using a VSR to control the lights, for example, whilst peddling really slow and generating 12.2v, only one light one light on the lights boards comes on, then the rider pedals a little faster generating 12.4v, this makes anther light on the board come on, then 12.6, 12.8 etc etc with each voltage increment illuminating another light
Can anyone help? I haven't got the foggiest of where to start.
Thanks
Mike
