I visited climate camp a few weeks ago, and it was a great inspiration. Met a lot of people and checked out quite a few bike powered setups. It was a great opportunity for me to ask “what would make this work better”, or “do you have any problems that could be solved with electronics”. Some of the suggestions were:
- visual feedback of power in/out
- some idea about how long you’ve got left on your battery
- cheaper/self build charge controller
I met Patrick from Bicyology, who was very keen to collaborate and help build an open/DIY bike charge controller.
I’ve started a new page on the wiki, and it seems an ideal step on the way to the fully fledged open charge controller.
