Cycflix: Exercise Powered Entertainment

Now that the cheesy title has pulled you, I’ll tell you about the project, it uses a stationary exercise bike connected to an Arduino Nano to control the streaming of Netflix on a PC, I started this project hoping I could get it working on just a Raspberry Pi but ran into a few problems I couldn’t overcome which I’ll discuss in my Instructables Post. But the main gist of the project at the click of a button and some user input, Firefox will open and play Netflix and monitor your speed for the Workout routine you designed, if you are going below the speed for too long, Netflix will be paused until you get back up to speed. If you want to use some other streaming service, it’ll only take a few changes.

I applied anti shake because it was really shaky and the audio is slightly out of sync
