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.

** I can change the colors now
 
** Next, attach potentiometers: one for changing the color, one for changing the intensity

* 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
