  • It is currently attached to Zwift, but we suppose it is not so difficult just to read out the sensor data on the Raspberry Pi.
  • It uses an infrared transmitter and receiver.
  • Then we can use this sensor for calibration as well as as treadmill sensor at the same time.
  • Who buys an NPE run which is not open source hard and software and calibrates it again with a high speed camera and Kinovea according to fellnr?
  • The NPE run does not deliver any sensor raw data to do our own special analysis, for instance to find out something about the quality of the treadmill.
  • We do not know of a treatmill which is scientifically validated. But with the Pi sensor we can to this.
  • Then we have a a tool to separate wheat from chaff among treadmills.
  • Are there not many treadmills with motors which are weak and run unstable, and have a poor mechnics?
  • Can we not replace these motors by a strong motor wich can be electronically ajusted, eventually by biofeetback algorithms?
  • Then we can also choose a treadmill with excellent mechanics.

Then we have a testing method, a treadmill sensor and a treadmill which is not only suitable for fun testers and users who say that science sucks, but we have devices also for all others.
