In house
- Wooden steering wheel
- RGB LED strip (by amx109 \o/)
Need
- Ideas for function
Things to make and do
This project has several parts: backlit the wheel, mount the wheel to the wall or on some stand, and make the wheel control something. It would be nice to be able to unmount the wheel and take it somewhere else, e.g. to display it at events like OHM.
Painting
Who: Narya
- NO color painting!
- I will fix the scratched parts with varnish
Backlit
Who: Narya, Brainsmoke and Mariejel
- RGB LEDs are in
- FastSPI library for driving led controllers on arduino based systems
- I can change the colors now
- Next, design a few patterns for the wheel
- Info about colors on Wikipedia
- Make a plan for controlling the lights, ideas:
- No rotation: colors of logo
-
Rotation: full color SpokePOV (PimpMyBike blog)- based on comments: maybe not such a good idea, since wheel has to spin fast - Change colors remotely
- Change colors by turning the wheel
Mount
Who: you?
- Location: on the wall near the door? Other suggestions?
Control
Who: you?
Random ideas, feel free to add your ideas below and add your name if you like to work on it
- Make something that registers when the wheel is turned
- Let it control X when the wheel is turned (don't know what "X" should be, ideas are welcome)
- No function, just let it rotate
