Was going to test the RPM signal on the dash to see if the transistor diodes worked and if my code worked to the real RPM signal...
I wired and checked the 12V-5V regulator. Tested that and it was sending out a nice clean 5V signal for the dash. I turned off the bike to wire in the dash and then do a voltage check on RPM signal... But I smelt the magic smoke... I pulled out the regulator thinking I might have killed that. Smelt fine. Then I tried to turn on the bike again, nothing. I pulled out my tester and 0.3v... 0.2... 0.1........ dead. I think I may have killed the electrics on my bike... I need to do some investigating to see whats actually died. It might just be a fuse. But Im worried its something more expensive :(
Im not sure how it happened. It must have been the croc clips connected to the - pin in the multi plug. It might have shorted to another pin.
Ill let you know.... *cries*
UPDATE, was just the fuse... Still I wonder why it popped :(
