2+
A custom made bicycle computer that tracks your RPM, Speed, Calories Burned, along with many other useful statistics, and then displays them on a Touch Screen TFT Display

# How It Works
6+
- By wiring 2 main hall effect sensors(magnetic sensors), one on the pedal and the other on the front tire, and wiring them to an Arduino
7+
- The Arduino reads in the data, performs some mathematical calculations, runs some code, and then displays the stats in a graphical, user friendly manner to the biker

# Why I Built This
21+
- This was my first real project
22+
- I had a passion for both biking, and programming so I thought hey, why not combine the two?
23+
- Took approximately 3-4 days to make from end to end
