RGBike POV

rgbike_pov

[Hazard] wanted a full color POV display for his bike wheel. and Adafruit’s SpokePOV is single color and Monkeylectric’s original version didn’t display images. He also balked at the cost and decided to manufacture his own version. It uses 16 RGB LEDs on a single layer board he manufactured himself. It’s an entirely through-hole design to make assembly easy. It uses a hall effect sensor to synchronize the image display. The two main components are an ATmega328p microcontroller, which should make it Arduino compatible, and a TLC5940 PWM LED driver. It’s a very well documented build and certainly a good looking effect.

Being a long time visitor to this site, I have agree with the posters here who think it’s going to shit.

This site used to rock and had plenty of cool projects but now you guys post every lame ass thing you find on the internet. Between this lame ass post and the horsecrap about matchbox car switches? Seriously? Matchbox cars and legos WTF is going on?

We have plenty of lame ass websites we can visit to view and read about stupid shit like this if we gave a rat’s ass. I come here for something cool, something hackable, something that will entertain more than 60 seconds of my evening.

Bring back the old site and lose the people who are running it now please. These aren’t hacks, these aren’t interesting, this is shit. Pure unadulterated shit.

AFAIK if you type ‘google’ followed by a space and a query it takes you to the search results. It has maybe half a dozen shortcuts already in when you install it.

I have my shortcuts set up to use single letters: g, i, n, d, w… Google, Google Images, Google News, tfd.com, Wikipedia…
