The OpenBarbell team has been busy...

As you can see, the prototype has grown out of a shoebox and into a custom 3D printed enclosure. This means we are one major step closer to making an open-source ready project available to those who want to practice velocity based training techniques on the cheap. Some of the benefits of V0.24 are...

• Portabile
• Battery powered
• Arm processor (via Teensy-LC)
• Low power OLED screen
• 12 ft. cord (for olympic lifting)
• Improved UI
• Kevlar string

To do:

• V0.2X Enclosure improvements
• Battery optimization
• Bluetooth
• Remote display (android phone app)
• PCB
• Laser cut enclosure (V0.3)

We have also made some social media gainz with our brand new Instagram page where we will be making more consistent updates than at our hackaday page. Give us a follow and send us a message if you'd like to get involved.
