Working out the work out - part 1

Take one temperature sensor -


Clip it to your turbo trainer's cooling fin. Pictured, a Phonak-tastic CycleOps Fluid2. Notice how the sophisticated clamping device has been fashioned to resemble a clothes peg - genius.





and measure -



(A) background temperature, (B) warm up (literally!) and (C) first interval session.

The serial buffer maxed out after 250 data-points, but the initial results are promising. Cafevelo reckons that the jewels are buried in the area under the curve.

Any thoughts readers?

Arduino: let the fun begin!

Cafevelo has got its hands on a microcontroller. Why? You'll just have to wait and see ; ) Want one? Visit oomlout and put an Arduino experimentation kit in your basket. Have fun.
