Auto stereoscopic Rainbow glowing TechInc logo Steering wheel

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

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
