In house

  • Wooden steering wheel

Ordered

  • 60x 5mm RGB LEDs

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 ordered
  • Make a plan for controlling the lights, ideas:
    • No rotation: colors of logo
    • Rotation: full color SpokePOV
  • 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
