#52I'm still going at my bike computer - you know, the open source, hackable one. I spent the past 2 months improving Tock OS - added GPS and file system - and yesterday got the display running: https://github.com/tock/tock/issues/2846#issuecomment-108617... I could use some help adding new drivers (esp. Bluetooth, but also simple ones like touch screen) and if someone explained Bluetooth Low Energy or Apache NimBLE to…
I'm not sure I 100% follow. It says "bike computer" do you mean a literal computer attached to the bicycle? I saw the github it shows some software runing on PineTime. Edit: actually I guess that is not the PineTime in the photo, knob is on the right side.
Typically they are about as flexible as calculators, but this CPU has been shown to run Doom, so it's a general-purpose computer too :)

A bike computer is the name for a device you put on your bike to show you useful info like speed etc. Typically they are about as flexible as calculators, but this CPU has been shown to run Doom, so it's a general-purpose computer too :) https://github.com/next-hack/nRF52840Doom

#54If anyone has decent experience in C#/.NET and/or graphics programming, you are welcome to join the developer team of the Stride game engine. https://github.com/stride3d/stride The code base is already mature and very professional. The quality standards are fairly high, but that's a nice challenge and you can even learn a lot, depending on your level of experience. As for the history, Stride was developed commerciall…

Whoa that's pretty neat. Do you have a physical prototype yet like a 3D printed case around it, battery, etc? I know you mentioned GPS but wondering if you would consider a hardware input like an rpm reader on the tires.
I will sell them together with a Bluetooth wheel/cadence sensor once I figure out Bluetooth.

#58I’d love to collaborate with anyone with anyone who wants to make a dent in the climate change problem. Chemistry experience a plus, but not necessary. Come find me in the OpenAir discord (https://openaircollective.cc)

Yes, I have ordered a batch of smart watches that go on the handlebars, same as the prototype on the photo. I will sell them together with a Bluetooth wheel/cadence sensor once I figure out Bluetooth.
I'd be curious on design choices like waterproofing, battery life, things like that. Also I think you mentioned your site is getting worked on but pictures to clarify what it is about would help sell it.
