Riding Focused Display Enhancement Idea #55

Open muellergit opened 6 years ago

muellergit commented 6 years ago

I am thinking it would be useful to have a "Riding Focused Display" instead of the current display. Even the official OW app display is not optimized and designed to be most useful to look at while riding.

For instance, Speed and Range should be the largest size possible along with anything else that is useful to see at a glance while riding.

My perfect app would allow several color keyed line graphs of user selected statistics (battery voltage, amps, angles, speed) to be graphed out ideally on the same main display screen but also could be on another screen reached by swiping.

Hopefully some day I will be able to help with the coding. I've been slowly looking through it and it looks pretty easy to understand.

I'm pretty excited about the potential for this app. For instance, if there is a way to disable the board from the app and unlock as a security feature that would be huge. But also mode change while riding is a huge feature if it is safe or can be set to not allow unsafe mode changes.

Locking the board via software would be great, I just haven't seen any features via the Bluetooth services on the board that would do it. There is a UART service used, I think, for firmware upgrades - it may be possible to use that to 'cripple' the board as a lock. Or with my luck, brick the thing.

Open to any and all ideas on how we could pull this off...

"Riding Focused Display" love this idea! and the graphs too!

Feel free to provide mockups on the UI, thats very helpful. Even a sketch!

Here's a nice example of an e-bike display similar to what I am thinking for a "Riding Focused Display" that is landscape format (so it can be worn on the arm while riding) with large speed in the center and a motor power meter wrapping around it. Also has a nice battery and temperature display concept.

Another nice thing to be on this screen for the OW would be [ELEVATED]-[MISSION]-[DELIRIUM] Shaping Mode display and selection buttons.
