Hi new to this forum so let me know is this is miss using it, but I could use some help.
I am basically new to electronic circuit design, played with it when I was a kid but haven’t for years.
i am restoring a vintage motorcycle and as the turn signal bulbs are no longer available I decided To convert them to LEDS.
I don’t want to modify the bikes wiring at all. So I made my own led bulbs to fit the bike. I have built a circuit using a good old 555 timer to flash the LEDS that works great too, except that it runs all the time even when the turn signal isn’t on.
The bike is a very simple circuit. battery to flasher then the turn signal switch onto bulb then ground.
The flasher is a two pin flasher one in, one out ( I added a ground to power the circuit)
what I want is to some how monitor the out put line from the flasher relay and detect when it is an open circuit and when it is grounded, and switch the flasher accordingly.
How would i do this...?
Thanks for any help or ideas
