But to be more involved and support a project like this I really would need it to be based on a board with proper weather resistance! Hope you find that as an option in the future.

#122Within 10 seconds I was convinced I needed to try this. For me, the next step for this is taking all the sensor data recorded for a ride, and loading it into my own fitness tracking database that I own, control, and isn't tied to someone else's profits.
intervals.icu?
I openly admit, I have not spent much time researching this subject, was just in the back of my brain as I migrate away from SAAS and IAAS.

#124This is great, I just saw your post on X. I'm also building a bike computer! eInk is the right display tech. I think this will do really well. It might need a UV filter. That said, I don't love needing a separate device (hence, I don't own any bike computer). This is just my preference, but I really prefer to just plop my phone on my handlebars. So I'm building a bike computer app for iPhone: https://x.com/mholt6/sta…
It's not a preference. There are a slew of issues around physical damage. Running out of power is far more of a problem than you make it out to be. There are major visibility issues (thankfully Garmin is working on this by continuing their idiotic OLED push /s) and water ingress issues. 1M submersion rating is NOT "driving rain while riding at 15-20mph."
The only people I see with phones on their handlebars are newbies.
