Bicimon is a bike monitor built to send data to a bike dashboard. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Bicimon on MXLinux.
Before we start the installation process, ensure that your system meets the following prerequisites:
Follow the steps below to install Bicimon on MXLinux:
First, we need to install the dependencies required by Bicimon. To do this, open the terminal on your MXLinux system and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools bluez bluez-tools
Next, download Bicimon from Github using Git:
git clone https://github.com/knrdl/bicimon.git
Once you have downloaded the code, navigate to the Bicimon directory and install it:
cd bicimon
sudo python3 setup.py install
Make sure your Bluetooth adapter is connected to your MXLinux system, and then scan for available Bluetooth devices:
sudo hcitool scan
Note down the MAC address for your bike sensor.
Finally, configure Bicimon to connect to your bike sensor with the MAC address you noted earlier:
sudo bicimon -p /dev/ttyACM0 -r 3 -m mac_address
Once you have successfully configured Bicimon, the application will run and start sending data to the bike dashboard.
That’s it! You have successfully installed and configured Bicimon on MXLinux. You can now monitor your bike’s data using the dashboard.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
