I have an idea from my other hobby (FPV flying of RC planes)

We use these things called OSDs or OnScreen Displays (Heres an example of a popular one http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__17745__ImmersionRC_EzOSD_FPV_on_Screen_Display.html )

It's basically a Heads-Up Display for those of us that fly RC planes using either an LCD screen or a pair of LCD goggles.
It's gives us useful information such as input voltage, voltage under load, Current Amp draw, mAh consumed, Direction to launch, distance from launch, altitude, etc etc

So anyway, It's a pretty simple little Ardu board I figure, but I'm not the best of sketches or PCB... yet.

Since we can't exactly hold a bike computer in our hands whilst we drive, maybe we could design something that would strap to your wrist and display that kind of information?

The OSD is just the basis of the idea, that it cant be THAT difficult to use a current sensor, etc...
 
That would be sweet. Unfortunately I don't know how to program nor electrical engineer things but best of luck to you. Maybe integrate it into a remote because I don't feel like carrying an extra gadget to eboard.

And also galp's idea on the galWii BMS/multithing. All great ideas!
Maybe a setup like the one with the blue bean and current Sensor, combined with a bean in the remote, working in two way communication with a small LCD or just a few LEDs for charge left and stuff would be possible.

Even better would be everything integrated into a single unit with a BMS!
