Carbon Fiber can also be conductive and can create a Faraday cage, so be
careful!
possibly getting an over-case and mounting it on the handlebars would
work, ideas at:

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.

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

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,
In PDA shops you can buy a bicycle mount for PDA's. I hope it will be
compatible with the Neo.

Thanks,
Yes I am familiar with ant, but was curious if polar was the same
thing or some different broadcast system.

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
Input Output (GPIO) line on the Neo 1973 itself. This is great because it

If you are referring to the signal from the Polar straps, it is not
really a protocol...
It is just a magnetic pules transmitted when the heart beat occurs..

I think what he's saying is that you can get after market receivers for

These can be easily interfaced to a micro (or the Neo in this case)..

I dont understand what you are saying here. Are you saying there is a

Doesn't really matter since you'll have accelerometers. Give it a
light knock to the left to see stat screen X, knock it to the right to

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
