Sensor data + gopro (or usb webcam)

Sat Feb 28, 2015 2:35 pm

Hello,

I'm turning my bike into a bike rested with several sensors. They are attached onto my rpi(model b+) or arduino uno (serially connected with rpi). The purpose of everything is that I can make a ride with the bike and store all the data i want (like speed, acceleration..) to my rpi sd-card. I also want it captured on camera and synchronize all the sensor data with my camera, so that I know the exact speed at every moment in the video. The rpi-camera does not satisfy my needs (wide angle, long cable). I also have a gopro camera (which certainly satisfies my needs). The problem is that with the gopro, the video will stored to the sd-card in the gopro and so i can not know the exact speed on every moment in the video.
Can I connect the gopro to my rpi?

Is there a solution so that the time I start filming with the gopro is exactly the time my sensors start storing data?

Or is the only solution using an USB-webcam?
