Nord UART... and model of exercise bike #2

Closed m8e closed 3 years ago

"This is a personal project designed for this exact model of exercise bike. It might work for other exercise bikes but probably not without some modification"

Question 1: what is the brand and model of the exercise bike?

Question 2: the exercise bike uses Nord UART

How was this determined?

This looks like the UART software interface here

Interesting project, thanks for activating my neural network 😉

This is a link to the exercise bike. You might find it available in other countries under different model names. I actually haven't been able to find a good source for it.

Every Bluetooth GATT profile has a GUID associated with it. The Connect nRF Android app that I used to scan for Bluetooth devices has a database of all the common profiles and tells you exactly what kind of device it is.
