Field notes, firmware updates, and build progress from the GearSense project.
The May 23 dev log contained contradictory noise reduction claims. This post corrects the record: debounce did the heavy lifting, and Mark II's first ride confirms the hardware upgrade.
correction noise debounce mark-iiThree rides, five firmware versions, one breakthrough visualisation, and a magnet in a pocket. GearSense goes from pretty display to a system that can identify gears from real ride data.
firmware algorithm clustering data mark-iiThe Waveshare ESP32-S3 arrived, went into a printed ABS case, and ran a live LVGL dashboard on first upload. Mark II has a face.
hardware firmware lvgl mark-iiFirst real-world ride data. Seven gear clusters confirmed. The magnet fell off and became the calibration protocol.
