发明名称 Inductive position sensor with integrated led indicators
摘要 A system for use in association with a mechanical transmission, including a gear selector lever movable between a plurality of shift positions corresponding to respective transmission settings, an inductive position sensor that senses a shift position of the gear selector lever, and a visual indicator that provides a visual indication of the selected transmission setting. The position sensor includes inductive sensor elements electromagnetically coupled together and sensor circuitry integrated onto a circuit board which generates a sensor output signal corresponding to the shift position of the gear selector lever. The visual indicator includes an indicator panel having alphanumeric characters that designate respective transmission settings, a plurality of LEDs integrated onto the circuit board and positioned adjacent respective ones of the alphanumeric characters, and control circuitry that provides a control signal in response to the sensor output signal which illuminates or brightens an LED positioned adjacent a respective one of the alphanumeric characters corresponding to the selected transmission setting.
