# Bicyclesim
|
|
|
|
This is a prototype web app developed to be demonstrated at Energia 2012 expo
|
|
(http://www.expomark.fi/fi/messut/energia2012).
|
|
|
|
This application is built using Meteor JavaScript platform (http://meteor.com/).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
You can try the app at http://bicyclesim.ekokumppanit.fi/. Instructions there are
|
|
currently on finnish so here's a short version:
|
|
|
|
Select a route from "Simulaatio"-tab and start hitting the space key.
|
|
For the best experience connect a bicycle with a trainer to computer using
|
|
a speed sensor.
|
|
|
|
## Speed sensor
|
|
|
|
Most basic speed sensor would be "Keyboard" that sends a keypress whenever
|
|
the wheel has turned one revolution.
|
|
This kind of sensor can be built from a old keyboard by soldering a reed switch
|
|
to right conductors at keyboard circuit board. Some instructions here:
|
|
http://www.instructables.com/id/Hacking-a-USB-Keyboard/.
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to built equivalent device from Arduino Uno:

|
|
Or more easily with the new Arduino Due:
