Its properties:
- can go on any bike
- includes sensors for various air pollutants
- sends data via bluetooth (to an iPhone or I guess any other device)
- stores energy to a battery for use when going up hills or speeding up
- tracks location and fitness information (and can find friends)
In the previous post, I had code to read a temperature sensor. http://www.ph0t0n.com.au/arduino-bluetooth-with-temperature-sensor/ . The sensor was attached to an Arduino bluetooth board.
'android meets arduino' is a toolkit, basically consisting of an Android application and an Arduino library which will help you to interface with your phone in a new dimension. You can build your own interfaces almost without any programming experience.
I have an Arduino Duemilanove with ATMega328 which has two photo-resistors connected (with a 10k pull down resistor). I set up two laser pointers to shine a laser directly onto the photo-resistor (which is enclosed within a dark box).
btstack that allows the iphone to communicate with other devices (keyboard, mouse, arduino) via bluetooth. (not apple's bluetooth)
you need a jailbroken iphone. and it seems one can install the btstack via cydia. but i am still not sure how to go about including this in an OF project.
Essential tools for DIY projects
DFRoduino Sensor Kit (Arduino Compatible)
Excellent performance CO2 Sensor, for use in a wide range of applications, including air quality monitoring, smoke alarms, mine and tunnel warning systems, greenhouses, etc. The sensor is easy to use and can be easily incorporated in a small portable unit.
Sensing the City with Arduino + Processing
Copenhagen Wheel Makes Your Bike Electric, Talks to Your iPhone
Sense Smart City is a Swedish project designed to conduct research, create new business opportunities and sustainably increase ICT research and innovation capability with specific objective to make urban cities/areas "smarter".
CitySense is an urban scale sensor network testbed that is being developed by researchers at Harvard University and BBN Technologies. CitySense will consist of 100 wireless sensors deployed across a city, such as on light poles and private or public buildings
