Have a look at Bangle.js. It's nominally an open source smartwatch, but the difference between that and a bike GPS is just a handlebar mount. v2 has just gone on Kickstarter - I've ordered one specifically for bike mounting.
- dcz_self 5y agoNice, thanks! Now I need to reconsider. My goals were to have 180+ days battery life and wired connectors, but maybe no one really wants those.
- Doctor_Fegg 5y agoIf you do go for Bangle.js, ping me if you get to the stage of putting any code up on github - I'd be very interested.
- dcz_self 5y agoWould you be interested in cooperating on that? You can ping me over email (see my profile or the blog). My second impression about the Bangle.js is: "oh no, JavaScript only?". Still, it's much better than building the same thing from scratch, except it may still take effort on the software side. Having another interested person involved would be amazing for my motivation! Btw, one of the reasons I wanted hackable hardware was to map road surfaces on OSM ;) GPS alone doesn't add much to OSM in my area any more.
