What happens when you take a bicycle and attach a Raspberry Pi to it? A picycle! It's a POC that utilizes a Sense HAT and a GPS module to record location and weather data (similar to Strava) on rides.
Picycle is a CLI tool and is commonly used in two different ways.
Recording location and weather data while riding is done through the record sub-command. Obviously the rider won't have a keyboard and screen during a ride, so this command is typically started as a system service (i.e. through systemd).
The Sense HAT input (joystick) and output (LED matrix) enable users to interact with picycle in this so-called headless environment.
All other sub-commands are meant to be executed in some interactive environment (i.e. SSH, local terminal, etc...). These commands perform various actions; examples include pretty-printing recordings, stitching recording together, and exporting recordings to GPX format.
