Cheap internet bike racing   James - Sunday, January 31, 2010, 1:41 am

My newest project is a way to race other people with bike trainers on the internet. My goal is to have this as inexpensive as possible - hopefully under $10 or so. I'm not as concerned about fancy graphics or racing courses as much as "am I winning?", and having a reasonable price. So far, I have a simple C program that reads the joystick and calculates the time and distance traveled.


Distance (km) = 0.177  Time = 0:00:29.332  km/h = 54.025
Distance (km) = 0.179  Time = 0:00:29.452  km/h = 64.830
Distance (km) = 0.182  Time = 0:00:29.676  km/h = 34.730
Distance (km) = 0.184  Time = 0:00:29.876  km/h = 38.898
Distance (km) = 0.186  Time = 0:00:30.084  km/h = 37.402
Distance (km) = 0.188  Time = 0:00:30.284  km/h = 38.898
Distance (km) = 0.190  Time = 0:00:30.508  km/h = 34.730
Not too fancy so far, but data collection seems pretty good.
