Project Description
Working Title: Bikezone
Goal: A bicycle mounted computer sensor system to detect and log the motion and proximty of passing and nearby vehicles.
Technology
- LV-MaxSonar-EZ4 Ultrasonic Range Finders
- Freeduino USB Host Boards
- Android 2.3.4 powered handsets
- Nexus S, HTC G2/Vision w/CyanogenMod 7.1
- bicycles, roads and cars
- lots of these in the world
Software
- Project code repository and issue tracker
- Android SDK & ADK
- Arduino IDE and libraries
Links and References
- Interfacing with MaxSonar sensors from Arduino playground
- usful info and example code
- example code for the Ping sensor by Parallax
- Portland bikeway planning document
- Not technology related but interesting about bike safety and street planning
- Android_open_accessory Joe Pugh's work with Arduino + ADK
Notes, issues, etc.
- The writer of the Arduino playground document claims analog input from the MaxSonar sensors is less accurate than pulse width
- Someone claimed that for the analog output from the sensor noise can be reduced with a capacitor and resistor, I'll have to find the details again though if needed.
