| 1 | +# Arduino Bicycle Computer |
| 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 |

| 5 | +# 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 |

| 20 | +# 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 |

| 26 | +# Youtube Video |
| 27 | +To better document my first project, I created a youtube video giving detailed, step by step instructions on how to build the Arduino Bicycle Computer |
