Creator of the "BIKEHUDDLE" social and generically the HUDDLEs Web and App concept.The system allows to organize events (gatherings, paths, races, rallies, trips) to which they can aggregateparticipants to share the same experience and passion.The first site created is for bikers and is called "www.bikehuddle.com".This environment allows you to aggregate people in moto trips and events that can be created and managed in real time; You can exchange feedback, describe the tour, see all scheduled tours in the selected area, follow in real time the position of all participants etc.The generic HUDDLE is named "ridehuddle" and can be used to create publicrides that can aggregate persons, or simply can be used to organize a solitary trip. The entiretrip can be stored in the HUDDLE cloud with the complete path and all geo-referenced photos and notes. The trip can be pusblished and shared with all partecipants or with other HUDDLE users.In addition to a web site, the system also includes a multiplatform APP (bikehuddle) specially designed to participate in a Event and follow it, see where all the participants are, real time chatting, add post photos, etc.BikeHuddle is just the first of a most complete set of sites called generic HUDDDLEs: ridehuddle.com runnerhuddle.com skihuddle.com climberhuddle.com cyclehuddle.com gameshuddle.com trekhuddle.com wedhuddle.com

Brainchild and development of a new complete hardware and software platform for wearable devices. The solution is named "weartron" and permits to develop apps using:pressure sensor, accelerometers, gyroscope, magnetometer, temperature sensors,any serial and i2C lines, BT devices, etc.The platform can include or not a multi tasking and real time micro kernel depending on the complexity of the application. Even without the micro kernel, the solution is device independent and any devices are handling using a software drivers and a complete internal lib is available to handle some common functions (clock, memory, files, etc.) All apps can be developed using and internal SDK that permits an easy way to interface any devices and to use complex algorithm for sensor libraries.The solution is totally portable over different CPUs and devices.tested on: Atmel ATmega328, ARM Cortex-M, Pic32, etc.The complete solution can work using even 2kb of ram and less that 32kb of flash. Using this platform and one Smart Phone (i.e. android, apple, microsoft) was done two applications respectively for cyclists and runners. Booth are based on one smart sole that include pressure, gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, temperature sensors. The first one is used to have foot pressure profile, the GAITLINE, end many others values (i.e. step counter, calories, etc.). The second one can be used to measure the INSTANT POWER, the total work and energy generated by the cyclist, plus many others values (i.e. rpm, pressure map, etc.)
