Auto stereoscopic Rainbow glowing TechInc logo Steering wheel
In house
- Wooden steering wheel
- 60x 5mm RGB LEDs
Ordered
Need
- Wires, lamps, resistors, controller, etc
- 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.
Painting
Who: Narya
- NO color painting!
- I will fix the scratched parts with varnish
Backlit
Who: Narya and Brainsmoke
- RGB LEDs are in (playing with arduino now to see how it works, code is on Git)
- 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
- Order rest of the stuff
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
