What is Platnum?
Platnum is a lightweight telemetry and session framework designed for riders, drivers, and builders who want clarity over complexity.
It focuses on recording, replaying, and understanding motion data — without forcing hardware dependency.
Core Concepts
Sessions represent a single ride or drive, recorded using your phone or paired hardware.
Telemetry includes speed, acceleration, lean angle, and derived motion metrics.
Analysis happens after — not during — the ride, so you stay focused.
Platnum's Node-T In Progress
Platnum's Node-T is a dedicated telemetry device built for higher precision and consistency compared to phone-only sensing.
The table below compares typical phone sensor capabilities with the planned Node-T hardware.
| Phone (Built-in) | Platnum Node-T | |
|---|---|---|
| GPS Accuracy | 3-10 m | 0.5-1 m |
| GPS Update Rate | 1-5 Hz | 10-25 Hz |
| Accelerometer | Consumer-grade MEMS | Telemetry-grade IMU |
| Gyroscope Drift | Moderate | Low |
| Sampling Consistency | OS-dependent | Dedicated loop |
| Mounting | Variable orientation | Fixed & calibrated |
| Battery Impact | High | None (independent) |
| Offline Reliability | High | High |
| Status | Available | In Development |
Specifications are preliminary and subject to change during development.
Work with Platnum
We’re building this in the open. If you care about motion, performance, or human–machine interfaces, you’ll fit right in.
Contributions matter more than resumes.
Install as an App (Recommended)
Platnum works best when installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This allows offline access, faster load times, and full-screen usage.
On Android (Chrome)
- Open Platnum in Chrome
- Tap the three-dot menu
- Select “Add to Home Screen”
On iOS (Safari)
- Open Platnum in Safari
- Tap the Share icon
- Select “Add to Home Screen”
Installing the app enables better sensor access and a smoother recording experience.
FAQ
Do I need hardware?
No. The app works standalone. Hardware support is optional.
Is this real-time?
Recording is real-time. Analysis is intentionally delayed.
Is data private?
Your data stays on your device unless you choose to share it.
