That was my original thought, but then I thought why not go with
something a little more exotic? The CAD files are out there, all we
need is for someone (I've suggested Hope) to CNC a new case for the
Neo1973 out of a single block of aluminium that can be bolted to my
bike. If they did it right,

Why do people want metal cases so much...???Features in wiki
hardware wishlist too.
My thought is aluminium = metal = faraday cage = stops gps, gsm, wifi,
bt signals = BAD idea

As the Neo's screen is pressure based (not capacitive) it could be
possible to be used through a thin plastic layer. There are PDA bags
which cover the touch screen and it still remains functional.

You would just need a decent sealing/joint around the touch screen. I

You can get receivers for Polar chest straps that signal beats with
gpio-accessible pulses. If the Neo1973 isn't completely packed inside, it
should be an easy add-on.
I dont understand what you are saying here. Are you saying there is a

The Polar HR Monitor equipment does a very simple 5hz pulse that can then be
picked up and counted to get HR data.The hardware simply amplifies pluses in
the 5hz frequency range, which could then be fed into a General Purpose

thing or some different broadcast system.

Does anyone have any experience with the Hardware side of things?
Possibility of integrating ANT directly into the Neo 1973?

I've looked into this quite a bit, if you'd like to integrate with a

is to use the ANT(thisisant.com) wireless protocol to interact with

Doesn't really matter since you'll have accelerometers. Give it a

stat screen Y, knock it right on to light up the screen. Make it do an
