Well, the last week of developing is over and what a week it’s been! We have had some great breakthroughs and we are happy to say that all is done and working great! The bike we ordered for the competition came in just on Tuesday so it was perfect timing. We took it for a test drive and then got to work setting up our mod and seeing how it looks on the bike. It looks pretty awesome. We’re proud. We can’t wait to show it off at CTIA in just a couple days. Wish us luck!

The camera was the most challenging feature to integrate. As other teams, we had problems with gstreamer, but after many days of working, re-working, searching for help (thanks everyone!) and a few nights of sleeping on it we figured it out! Now, there is a preview display on the Bike Dashboard’s UI and it takes a nice picture.

Though nothing we did ended up being quite as simple as we had hoped, it was great to program on/for the N900! We’ve definitely learned a ton and feel like we’re already winners. We’ll post a video from the conference showing it all working. In the meantime, here’s a video after our last test ride:
