Connected component platform

A system comprising:

• a mobile computing device, said mobile computing device comprising:
• a memory;
• a display;
• at least one graphical user interface;
• at least one processor to:
• initiate a connected component platform (CCP);
• receive user specific information;
• and
• develop an active valve suspension tune comprising a number of performance range adjustable settings from said user specific information, said user specific information selected from the group consisting of:
• a physical information and a skill level information;
• an active suspension of a vehicle, said active suspension comprising:
• a suspension controller to:
• receive said active valve suspension tune from said CCP;
• and
• implement said active valve suspension tune, wherein said CCP reduces a processing requirement of said suspension controller which increases a battery life of said suspension controller;
• a time of flight sensor configured to generate terrain information;
• at least one sensor to generate sensor data related to said active suspension, said sensor data further providing information selected from the group consisting of:
• pitch, roll, yaw, speed, acceleration, and deceleration;
• and
• at least one damping assembly comprising at least one connected component;
• wherein said suspension controller is further configured to:
• repeatedly receive said sensor data from said at least one sensor;
• repeatedly receive said terrain information from said time of flight sensor;
• repeatedly evaluate said sensor data;
• repeatedly evaluate said terrain information;
• automatically adjust, at said at least one connected component, one or more of said performance range adjustable settings of said active valve suspension tune based on a result of said repeated evaluation of said sensor data and said terrain information;
• receive said sensor data provided from said at least one sensor;
• obtain a performance specification for said at least one connected component;
• evaluate said sensor data in light of said performance specification to generate a sensor data evaluation;
• compare said performance specification of said at least one connected component with said sensor data evaluation;
• develop a personalized performance evaluation of an actual performance of said at least one connected component using said performance specification and said sensor data evaluation;
• provide said personalized performance evaluation of said at least one connected component to said user;
• and
• present, via said display of said mobile computing device, a recommended setup change for said at least one connected component.
