Imagine hopping on your motorbike and having real-time insights about your ride *engine RPM, speed, throttle position, fuel level, coolant temperature, battery voltage, diagnostic trouble codes and more* displayed right at your fingertips.
No complicated dashboards, no bulky add-ons. Just a sleek, self-contained device that brings your bike to life with data you can actually use.

At our upcoming **Chelmsford Tech Meetup Talk**, Lawrence will showcase how everyday vehicles like motorbikes can be transformed into smart machines with a compact, 3D-printed project powered by a Raspberry Pi microcontroller and costing less than a tenner.

Find out how low cost technology is redefining the way we interact with real world technology such as vehicles.
Whether you’re a rider, a tech enthusiast, or simply curious about the future of transport, this session will leave you inspired.

Speaker: Lawrence Payne, Software Degree Apprentice, Leonardo
Lawrence is a regular member of our monthly tech meetups and volunteers at STEM activities teaching coding, inspiring children with his tech projects, and inspiring and mentoring young people interested in tech careers.
