alpha ONe

Onboard data analyser

Based on Raspberry pi and full open source library this device get on board several sensor and comunication module in order to track your performance on circuit or open road. A race mode and Lora communication will allow you to have some fun with your friend and reassuring your family

Real Time viewer

Display the real time data from all the sensor and HMI in a 4.3 inch IPS tactile screen. Several type of screen are available to get a summurize of all the data or a focus on the timer and detailed view of lap 

GPS & Accelerometer

Speed and acceleration are very important to track the performance off a lap. In order to calculate the absolute position and orientation of the bike we need to agregate GPS, accelerometer and gyroscope data. 

ILS Sensor

All the circuit arround the world have one or several magnetics tapes under the road on fix position. if we can detect them that allow to mesure the time lap and part time for each lap. ILS Sensor is a small electronic device that can detect magnetic fields

 

Web Site

In order to be able to retreive all your data even if the device is not powered-up, after each session the data are send to the cloud. You can check them everywhere from laptop or mobile.

On the web site you will also find a fall alerte and map position

Onboard Screen

Several circuit can be selected from a list stored in the database. A free mode is also available to use the device on open road.

You can choose your circuit directly on the screen

From this screen you can get all the main real time data from all the sensors. Several information are displayed like: Current Speed, Current Angle, Acceleration, Timer..etc

The Max angle and Speed from last turn are also displayed

On this screen we display detailed information regarding the time lap like: Previus time, Best lap, current session time

From the device you can direclty display several chart which will get all the time lap during the previus session or during the whole day

Data base

All the data are stored in SQLlite data base

Data API

For more detailled analyse you can retreive the data from the Data base:

  • GPX file from last free run
  • CSV file with 3D data collection
  • Firebase data extraction
  • to be defined

Cloud plateform with firebase

Fall alert+Map

If the accelerometer get an angle up to 70° that means your are not a the road anymore or in a bad shape. Until the bike have retreive a normal position, a message is displayed on the website with your position in order to raise an alert.

Web site

After each session the data are send to firebase data base on the cloud. From the web site you can retreive all your data. No need to have the AlphaOne device powered on and you can check from where you want

Device details

Raspberry pi A+, 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core processor

  • Broadcom BCM2837B0, Cortex-A53 (ARMv8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.4GHz
  • 512MB LPDDR2 SDRAM
  • 2.4GHz and 5GHz IEEE 802.11.b/g/n/ac wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2/BLE
  • Single USB 2.0 ports
  • Micro SD port for loading your operating system and storing data
  • 5V/2.5A DC power input

heart of the system the raspberry handle all the data gathering throuth his GPIO port and display them with a DSI connection on the screen. Very flexible with a light version of Linux you can do what you want with a fiew amount of power (12.5 W)

NEO-M8 series Versatile u-blox M8 GNSS modules

  • GPS/QZSS L1 C/A, GLONASS L10F, BeiDou B1
  • SBAS L1 C/A: WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS
  • Galileo-ready E1B/C (M8N)
  • Nav. update rate1 Single GNSS: up to 18 HZ
  • Concurrent GNSS: up to 10 Hz
  • Position accuracy2 2.0 m CEP
  • Acquisition2 Cold starts: 26 s

Standard precision (SPG) GPS receiver with Meter-level accuracy and low power consumption in cost-efficient products that are suitable for our needs. In combinaison with the accelerometer data that will allow us to get where we are.

MPU6050 – Accelerometer and Gyroscope Module

  • MEMS 3-aixs accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope values combined
  • Power Supply: 3-5V
  • Communication : I2C protocol
  • Built-in 16-bit ADC provides high accuracy
  • Built-in DMP provides high computational power

The MPU6050 is a Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) which consists of a 3-axis Accelerometer and 3-axis Gyroscope inside it. This allow to measure acceleration, velocity, orientation, displacement and many other motion related parameter of a system or object. 

Our Story

Why buy an expencive device when

you can have fun to build your own

Biker since several year i was looking for a solution in order to track the performance on a circuit or on openroad during my trip. Several solution already exist from a simple app on mobile phone to expensive dedicated device for experimented pilote but nothing bewteen. Based on this constat I wanted to build my own solution to have some fun and discover several technology like GPS, Linux, Python, SqLite, Kalman filter..etc
