This is getting fun! I’ve completely rewritten the stationary bicycle computer program from the bottom up, and it’s much, much better. The hardware is as simple as it gets: take the leads from any reed switch (I ripped mine from a cheap Schwinn bicycle computer), and plug them into ports ‘GND’ and ’0′ on your Arduino (polarity doesn’t matter). Then upload the arduino code, and run the processing app. Works like a dream!
Looking forward to seeing if anyone does anything cool with this. I ain’t done yet!

awesome work, look forward to seeing more
It’s a custom Processing app (as mentioned in the body text above). There’s a newer version here:

I was wondering what software did you used to make the visual part.
Hi
I’m new to program, and when I should try a create a speedometer for my scooter, I looked into your program to see if I could copy the way you pick up speed, but since I’m new, I thought it is rather difficult to locate the main part of the intercepts code, so could you try to make a project where you only have speed part where it comes out in km/h because I come from Denmark and send to my email. It could be really nice.
