  1. There's a in the basement that has been there since I moved in 3 years ago. Never used since.

    The battery-powered bike computer is still displaying the time.

    After 3 years! On a single charge of a button !

    This is the level of longevity I want jazda.org to achieve.

  2. Crazy idea: instead of a reed switch or an inertial sensor, use an encoder and a photodiode for wheel speed measurements.

    I think this is what the weird Bosch crank attachments sold online are.

  3. Thanks @spaetz for writing up your first experience with the devkit. I'm going to use it as onboarding in the future.

  4. the computer got a new, pretty font!

    See how it thinks we're going 14 km/h? That's because it glitched (don't worry, I found the bug).

    Two lessons:
    - using ray tracing techniques (sdf) for drawing works on microcontrollers
    - but barely fast enough :(

  5. Are you dreaming about a computer that shows where on the trail you are?

    I stopped dreaming.

    Because I made one!

    Trail display is a demo for I tested today while making code easier for newcomers.

    The triangle on the display is about 10km around a pretty mountain lake surrounded by quaint little towns.

  6. I'm building a simulator for to test code before flashing. Here, I'm feeding it an old track, and testing a real-time situational map. Next I'll move it to the actual computer.

  7. First longer ride with . Impressions:
    - I need to show battery level. I don't know if it was fully charged
    - it survived the entire ride
    - it shut off after I got back, after almost 5 hours with GPS on
    - when the wind is blowing, I'm going way slower than I thought :S

  8. Still wondering what my secret project is?

    An bike computer.

    After weeks of working behind the scenes, today the first functional prototype was tested on the road. Hello world!

    Check out jazda.org if you want a prototype too.

  9. Hot take: a computer can't beat a mounted on the handlebars.

    Change my mind.

  10. can anyone recommend a decent Bluetooth speed sensor?

  11. gadget month begins!

    Q1: What gadgets do you use while ? If nothing, why not?

    You can select more than one answer.
