I'm a student of Computer Science. I like my bicycle so I would like to develop a bike computer system from Raspberry Pi called Raspbike.
You can already do a lot of things with smatphones. But they have a huge disadvantage: battery life.
Raspbike is going to be a built in small bike computer system with the following features:
- GPS tracking
- Speed/Odometer
- Calorie count
- Heart rate
- Wireless communication
- Light management (front/rear, break, turn signal)
The power source of the Raspbike will be a battery which is chargeable with solar panel.
How it works?
- If you have a smartphone you can connect it to the Raspbike via bluetooth. (No wires)
- The Raspbike sends the processed information to the smatphone.
The software on the smatphone allows you to control the lights and synchronise your data when you are on the road.
