Two projects have been keeping the Pogotronics lab busy over the past month:

One is the production of a new batch of LED brake/tail light isolators. A change of technology has allowed me to make these much smaller and therefore easier to install.

The other is development work on the indicator ballast. Lola has been burdened with test wiring and instrumentation while I refine the design. The basic technology was proven on the bench and has now been run on a working bike. Now it goes back to the bench to make it ready to be the next product to go on sale.

Of geeky interest, the CanAm Spyder, or at least my 2008 GS, appears to have two indicator controllers. One runs the indicators and hazard lights when the ignition is on, and despite being all electronic, it behaves like an old fashioned blinker can and flashes too fast when it has a light load. The other runs the hazard lights when the ignition is off and behaves like an electronic indicator controller, flashing at a constant rate regardless of load. Why? I guess because it was designed by a committee… 😉

Pogo.
