## What Jamie wrote

Some serious hardware geekery here.

>  I’ve decoded (most of) the protocol that the Peloton bike uses to communicate with its head unit tablet and built a device, the PeloMon, that takes that data during a ride, without interfering with the Peloton software, to broadcast it over Bluetooth LE to whatever devices you’d like — a watch, Zwift, Wahoo, whatever. Stick around for logic analyzer traces, hardware diagrams, cursing at Bluetooth, and some nice interfaces.

Interesting to open up the excellent Peloton hardware to other services for tracking.
