Shock Chat

shock_chat_logo_128  The project has these goals:

  1. Cheap system to get data from your mountain-bike

  2. Easy to install hardware

  3. It is possible to manage some of the data from your smartphone

  4. Management of all data from the internet

  5. System gives you hints on how to tune fork and rear shock

  6. Hardware and software are ready for any new shock

 

Update – 1st July 2017

We got a new hardware version for Shock Chat .. remember it’s still a prototype!

The new version includes a unique container for electronics, internal battery, USB port for upgrades and debugging, more comfortable, to use with gloves, menu knob.

Now we are working on new mount supports for the shock sensors …

Update – 21st January 2017

This is the hardware version 1.0 of Shock Chat. Now we work on software features!

Update – 17th Januay 2017

We are close to having the hardware final version!

Update – 14th January 2017

Today we are assembling the sensors and the buttons to start and stop the data collection

 

Update – 10th January 2017

We are working hard on the software. At the moment the running features are as follow:

 

  • telemetry (10 reads per second of front and rear travel plus terrain scanning)
  • chronometer
  • display of sag – front and rear individually
  • SD card management
  • display of date and time
  • version of running software

Next features to be implemented:

  • minimum and maximum extension of front and rear shock
  • possibility to visualize chrono while running telemetry
  • use of bookmarks (possibility of highlighting sections during the measurement of telemetry)
