New Guide: Raspberry Pi Pedal for Youtube #AdafruitLearningSystem @adafruit #Blinka #RaspberryPi

Check out the latest guide from Jeff Epler: a simple project that can be your gateway to doing Bluetooth BLE projects on the Raspberry Pi using Adafruit Blinka.

From the guide:

Need a little more incentive to meet your exercise goals on a stationary bike? With Adafruit Blinka and a Raspberry Pi 4, you can use a Bluetooth BLE cadence sensor to play YouTube videos only when you are pedaling above a target RPM value.

This project does not require any soldering or wiring or even modification to your stationary bike – the sensor can be taped onto the bottom of the pedal, and the Raspberry Pi reads the cadence data over wireless Bluetooth!

The code is easily adjustable, you can add goals, HIIT pacing, even turn it around so you have to pedal harder to stop yourself from watching disgusting videos!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
