Formerly known as ARTS: Auto stereoscopic Rainbow glowing TechInc logo Steering wheel
Contents
Parts
- Wooden steering wheel
- RGB LED strip (by amx109 \o/)
- Nano Arduino clone (ordered on 25 September 2013)
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
Hardware components
- RGB LEDS
- Nano Arduino
- 12V adapter (from the "adapter" box, needs a connector)
- LM7805 Voltage regulator... or the any-to-5V PCB I already have
- 3 NPN transistors (TIP 120s ?)
- 8? Microcontrollers (one pin in, 3 pin out, for RGB signals)
Software
- FastSPI library for driving led controllers on arduino based systems
- Take a look at: Neopixel library
- Take a look at: http://www.elcojacobs.com/using-shiftpwm-to-control-led-strips-with-arduino/
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
