I replaced my Stages Bike with a Kickr Bike V1 but was still missing the gear display in front of me, like on the Neobike.
So finally having a couple of days off from normal duties, I fired up the Arduino IDE and made this small project.
I plan on adding displaying watts too ( next holiday ) and make the code available on Github, if anyone else wants to have a display or improve the code ( it’s still to ugly for any kind of public release )
Shortly after the KICKR BIKE was released, there was speculation that the BIKE would show gearing in the ELEMNT/BOLT/ROAM. That would be good, since a typical sweat guard obscures the gear information on the small display.
I don’t think that has happened yet.
Does the BIKE broadcast gear information?
Yes the gear info is broadcasted in the bluetooth stream, and even in a pretty clear format that an amateur programmer like me can get useful data from.
I don’t think there’s any data being broadcasted in the ant+ stream
very cool, does frustrate me that Zwift won’t support gears in Zwift from the kickr bike. Probably never will now wahoo are suing them over the Zwift Hub - just hurts the end user.
I will Marcus… I’ll hope to find some time for cleaning up the code and adding a few comments ( that’s the same issue every time ) before I publish it.
Very cool! Would it be possible to show the gradient on your display? I’d like to use no-UI mode more often, but would still like to be able to see the gradient (since it isn’t displayed in Companion app anywhere).
Awesome @Marcus_Roesnick I’ll still try to get my project published.
I’m so much down on time at the moment, but
The code is embarrassing “dirty” and needs a lot of cleanup before publishing.
That being said, I use it almost every day and it just works.
I have a lot of ideas for the next version, but again - time…
maybe you can share your actual Code, (dirty or not) on git hub and the community can Work together to get it clean and optimized? Thats what a community is for
