An open firmware for inertial flywheel based bike static trainers: https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/wiredhoo

It started as a wired replacement for wireless communications by emulating an ANT+ USB stick; the host software thinks the packets are being sent wirelessly.

Then it become more of an exploration into how inertial trainers calculate input torque only from the known properties of the flywheel. In theory it could become an open firmware for any trainer, since the hardware is largely the same. I never really finished tuning the functions to estimate the power from the flywheel RPM.
