Hey guys!
I'd like to know if there's a sensor that detects the speed of itself. I would use it to sense the speed of my bike. I'm a noob so sorry if this is a dumb question.
Thanks in advance!
Use a NEO6M GPS sensor and an Arduino, or a magnet on a wheel and count.
I've seen Inertial Navigation Modules on breakout boards, but I don't know what they would do for stabilized speed.
Magnet, a Hall sensor and an Arduino...… Maybe also a display?
Thank you for your replies. I was also wondering if it's possible to use a 3-axis accelerometer to find speed.
I would say No to using accelerometers. They will in theory show zero at constant speed.

You could get a pretty close approximation on a straight and level ride, when you stop it might say you haven't quite stopped.
Going up or down a slope, how is it to tell acceleration due your effort from gravity vector? When turning the front wheel contact shifts slightly, the frame pitches down slightly but enough for an accelerometer to be affected.
