Yes I am Precious - A Bike with a Brain

Starting at the Atlantic and ending at the Pacific, Precious will spend 3 months riding across the country sharing his thoughts, experiences, body temperature and much more. Fitted with a brain of wires, circuits and whole lot of code, he'll use his new silicon senses to share what it feels like to have a sweaty chain while riding up the side of the Rockies. He'll even share his subconscious dreams from time to time, which can get a little, well, bike-freaky.

This project is such a huge inspiration and a very great idea. Just a few questions: That red light-thing on the handlebar, what does it do? How does it get powered and how does it transmit data on the go? By SMS?

[BreakfastNewYork]

Glad you like. The red light blinks in different ways to tell us what the on-board device is doing: reading sensors, trying to connect to the cell network, etc. It uses SMS to send off all the info. Text messaging is more reliable than depending on Edge or 3G in the middle of nowhere.

Great!!! Just have a look at the link in the description... you just have to change it properly... Best :)

[BreakfastNewYork]
