Now and again we come across an outstanding Arduino-based project - something that is home-made but equivalent or better than any commercially-available product. One fine example of this is the "Scooterputer" by Kurt Schulz. Using an Arduino board he has created a system that features (from his site):

• Battery voltage indicator
• Time and date
• Temperature
• Lean gauge with resettable max L-R indicators
• Current speed
• Resettable max speed indicator
• Odometer
• 2 resettable trip meters
• Latitude and longitude readouts
• Compass heading readout
• GSM/GPRS quad-band cellular module

All of this is displayed on a colour LCD, for example:

Once again this system is amazing and really showcases the ability of Arduino-based hardware. For those looking to recreate this design we have a range of Arduino-compatible boards and sensors including our accelerometer and highly accurate real-time clock module. In the meanwhile, visit Kurt's site to find out how to make your own.
