Hey all, would anyone happen to know if it could be possible to repurpose an old smartphone to perform dashboard functions for e-scooters?
I have nowhere near the the technical experience to prove or disprove myself, but thought it could be viable since there is a lot of tech crammed into even older smartphones and we have apps that basically mirror the information OEM dashes and controllers provide.
I figure it would help somewhat in lowering ewaste, give us a nice touchscreen interface with our scoots, and provide us with a new project to tinker with. Would be cool if it could be done somehow and was hoping someone with intimate technical knowledge could voice a opinion on the matter. Thanks!
