* Something to mount it on
* 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.

Who: [[Narya]]
* Make something that registers when the wheel is turned
* NO color painting!
* Let it control X when the wheel is turned (don't know what "X" should be, ideas are welcome)
* I will fix the scratched parts with varnish
* No function, just let it rotate


=== Backlit ===
Who: [[Narya]] and [[User:Brainsmoke | Brainsmoke]]


* RGB LEDs are in (playing with arduino now to see how it works, code is on [https://github.com/Narya/RGB Git])
** I can change the colors now
** Next, attach potentiometers: one for changing the color, one for changing the intensity
* Info about colors on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV Wikipedia]
* [https://github.com/l3kn/RGBlink RGBlink Arduino library]
* Design a simple circuit board for the components with [http://www.kicad-pcb.org/ KiCad]
* Make a plan for controlling the lights, ideas:
** No rotation: colors of logo
** <s>Rotation: full color [http://www.ladyada.net/make/spokepov/index.html SpokePOV] ([http://janpaulposma.nl/pimpmybike-biking-at-night-with-style PimpMyBike blog])</s> - based on comments: maybe not such a good idea, since wheel has to spin fast
** Change colors remotely
** Change colors by turning the wheel
