Cycling is a very popular form of exercise, and Bluetooth computers play an indispensable role in the cycling field, bringing a more advanced and smarter sports experience to cycling enthusiasts.
The Bluetooth computer is a computer device based on low-power Bluetooth technology. It can help cyclists monitor key indicators such as speed, heart rate, and pedaling frequency in real time, and provide cyclists with accurate sports data. Through Bluetooth connection, cyclists can also connect with mobile phones or other smart devices to enjoy smart functions such as navigation guidance and music playback. The emergence of Bluetooth computer makes cycling more intelligent, interesting and challenging, becoming an indispensable partner for cycling enthusiasts.

Bluetooth code tables usually consist of the following parts:
1 ► Display screen: Bluetooth computer computers are usually equipped with a display screen to display various riding data during riding, such as speed, mileage, heart rate, etc. The display screen can be a color LCD screen or a black and white screen, and some even have a backlight function so that it can be displayed clearly in a dark environment.
2 ► Buttons and operation interface: Bluetooth computer usually has buttons for the rider to switch display information or perform setting operations. The operation interface is designed to be simple and easy to use, making navigation and function selection convenient.
3 ► Sensors: In order to obtain accurate riding data, Bluetooth computers are usually equipped with various sensors, such as foot sensors, wheel sensors, air pressure sensors, etc.
4 ► Low-power Bluetooth module: The Bluetooth computer uses a low-power Bluetooth module to establish wireless connections with smartphones, tablets and other devices to achieve data transmission functions.
5 ► Battery: The Bluetooth computer is powered by a built-in battery to ensure normal operation. Battery capacity and battery life vary by model, with typical battery life ranging from a few hours to dozens of hours.
Low-power Bluetooth technology has the advantages of low power consumption, low cost, and stable connection, so it is widely used in computer computers in the cycling field. The specific advantages are as follows:
01 Real-time data two-way transmission
Low-power Bluetooth technology can connect the computer to devices such as smartphones. Connected to a mobile phone via Bluetooth, users can view their exercise data in real time through the mobile phone APP, such as exercise time, speed, mileage, altitude, calories burned and other information. These data are richer than the sensor data fed back by traditional computers, providing real-time feedback to help cyclists understand their own training and maintain the correct riding speed and rhythm. In addition, you can also set the functions of the Bluetooth computer through the APP, such as backlight, units, etc.
02Data recording and statistical analysis
The Bluetooth computer can record riding data for subsequent analysis and summary. Bluetooth connection makes it possible to transmit cycling data to the mobile APP and eventually to the cloud. Through the APP and background services, cyclists can view detailed riding statistics, such as riding time, average speed, climbing height, etc. This helps cyclists understand their riding progress, track training effects, find room for performance improvement, and develop more effective training plans.
03Provide multi-device connection
Bluetooth low energy technology also enables multi-device connectivity. Cycling enthusiasts often need different equipment, such as heart rate monitors, cadence meters, and electronic shifting systems. Using low-power Bluetooth technology, multiple sensor devices can be connected to a Bluetooth computer at the same time to achieve wireless data transmission. The EFR32BG22 series Bluetooth module RF-BM-BG22A3/A3I currently launched by Xinchida Technology supports Bluetooth 5.2 master-slave simultaneously. The multi-master and multi-slave serial port transparent transmission protocol can support the Bluetooth computer to connect to the smartphone while maintaining connections and communicating with multiple peripheral sensors.

04Stable connection
The application of low-power Bluetooth technology can also improve the data transmission stability of the computer. Traditional infrared or wired connection methods are susceptible to external interference, resulting in unstable data transmission. Low-power Bluetooth technology reduces the possibility of interference and signal loss by improving the connection mechanism, and provides more reliable data transmission and connection maintenance, thereby ensuring that the Bluetooth code meter can communicate stably with the terminal device.
The Bluetooth computer realizes the perfect combination of riding and technology. In addition to displaying and recording riding data in real time, it also provides powerful data statistics and analysis functions with the APP, providing an advanced and intelligent riding experience. As technology advances, Bluetooth technology will continue to evolve and innovate, bringing more functions and convenience to cyclists.
