ABSTRACT:
A device for transmitting sensor signals in a bicycle includes a sensor for sensing an operational condition of a bicycle component and for outputting a sensor signal having a selected type. A digital transmission circuit operationally associated with the sensor outputs a digital message in response to the sensor signal. The digital message includes 1) a digital sensor value comprising a series of bits representing a value of the sensor signal; and 2) a digital identification value for indicating the selected type of the sensor signal. Such a message allows a sensor having any physical design to be connected to the computer.
