Wahoo Kickr Bike - External Gear Display

I haven’t worked out how to do that yet. But if I do, I’ll post back.

Have you tried using the wahoo app on two devices? If you set the config with one instance of the app, does the other app read the change?

Hey all, I made this overlay app when I got my Kickr shift bike, never got around to publishing it but uploaded it finally.

github dot com/Adanteh/WahooGearDisplay

It’s similar to what most of the things in here do, but seeing Im actually a rouvy user I also added button support so I can navigate menus / change workout difficulty from the shifters. Im assuming zwift just supports that out of the box, but might still be useful.

As far as OSD goes, don’t some other bikes support Zwift displaying the gears on screen from them? Possibly a translation of sorts might work here. Have the esp32 sit in the middle between the bike and Zwift, and just translate the gear shift service into a different service that Zwift natively supports displaying. The trick is that you’d probably have to pass through the FTMS service as well, but that’s not much of an issue.

Are any YouTube videos that shows how to do this step-by-step? I’m not a tech guy and it seems like a nice way to have a better way to view the gears.

Hey, thanks for this! I just came across this looking for native support and I managed to get this set up quite quickly. I’ve now got it so that, it start when Windows starts and connects to the Kickr Bike. Then one click of the ‘Open Gears’ window and Borderless Gaming moves it into the space between the power-up icon and the power data. Ace - thank you!

Any way to change the font and font-color or is that too much ‘under the hood’? Cheers!

@Pat_Fulghum just installed kickrbikegears to use with Kickr shift. Took 2 minutes and works perfectly. Even integrated with OBS for recording Zwift. Thanks!
