Boosted Board & others support #34

It would be awesome to support multiple boards. I don't know anyone else with a board (other than onewheel). Looks like boosted has an iOS app but Android has been missing for years.

Inboard has a nice iOS app (not as good as OW) but for Android it can only flash new firmware.

I have a couple of friends with evolve boards, and I believe the board only talks with the remote. I am guessing it is bluetooth, but don't know for sure.

At least in the evolve case, even if we could intercept the communication with the remote, there is very little information going back and forth. I'd say only rpm and battery charge?

Any could be done, I have BLE hardware sniffers although simply reverse engineering the official apps is all it takes. It's a matter of us getting one that we like enough to do it, right now, haven't seen anything better than OW+ ... :)

lol, flame wars started.

I particularly like the evolve boards. But I believe the boosted board has a bigger user base. Maybe start there? We'd need someone with a board, though.
