Tronbike Meter (TBM) 4.0.0 Test Ride

TBM Developments

Today's test run to Target included bringing along what I am calling "TBM" - Tronbike Meter.

Visibility was good, and watching the amp usage was really telling - has a peek over 300 for a second during acceleration. The biggest hardware bug was the cable connector falling out over bumps, and the meter software needed to be exited and restarted, resetting the data log. Recall the cable connector vaporization blogged earlier? Thats why its falling out.

The "projected time" was buggy too, not taking the consumed Watt Hrs into the calculation.

Also, I acquired a Bluetooth GPS thats the size of a pack of gum. I am already waging bidding wars for Bluetooth enabled iPAQs, stay tuned.
