200.01 How to read out data from the Adafruit Clue Pyloton?

Last Updated on November 14, 2022 by pg@petergamma.org

The Adafruit Clue Pyloton is an open source Bluetooth low energy bike computer, which requires no ANT+ stick:

7. Porting the Pyloton to a Linux phone?

Wibble from the PinePhone forum:

«The important question for interacting with these devices from anything other than their manufacturer’s app is whether they work with just the standard BLE profile interfaces, or with other openly documented interfaces»

Adafruit Linux watch?:

Most live-streaming options are available for peloton bike computers. Garmin has closed source devices with proprietary .fit file format, ANT+ sensors and data processing in Garmin connect. For people who are looking for open source projects with live-streaming option, .csv data format and freedom of choice for data processing applications, there are only few projects available.

Aren t Garmin watches based on Linux? As far as I know, nobody was able to hack Garmin watches yet. Therefore, it is time for an open source alternative. I propose Linux Asteroid OS watches, which have a great potential.

Unfortunately, I am not a programmer, but I can deal with Matlab and Python scripts. I reviewed some Linux phones and Asteroid OS watches on:

I am looking for programers who are interested in these great watches, and see the potential of these. I first step would be to port the Adafruit Open Source Bike Computer to a Linux phone, or to Linux Asteroid OS watch:

The Adafruit software is a professional BLE sports computer, which can compete with Garmin devices. There are only few open source sports devices available. Linux Asteroid OS watches paired to BLE sports sensors is an option with a great potential.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE PYLOTON:

Maybe it is easier to pair a BLE sports sensor in Python under Linus with this project:

Is there an example how to call the BLEHeartRateLogger from Octave?

John Parks sync software can sync sensor data from the Clue to the Rasperri PI to Adafruit IO. Therefore, this device can also be connected to a cloud. The BLE sports sensor profile has not step data, therefore, this step countig device is very welcome. The housing also has the potential to make a full open source sports watch out of it.
