Turn your bike wheel into a colorful persistence-of-vision display
with CircuitPython. In this project, I’m using a Feather
microcontroller and six high-speed LED strips mounted to the spokes
of a bike wheel to display patterns, graphics, and animated images
while the wheel spins. A USB battery keeps everything portable, and
a magnetic sensor detects wheel speed so the images stay looking
good whether you’re cruising slowly or flying down the road. Adding
your own artwork is easy — just save a .BMP or .GIF image to the
controller. I’ve also included a bunch of ready-to-use images to
get you started. POV effects are notoriously difficult to capture
on camera, so the video doesn’t quite do it justice. In person, the
effect is bright, crisp, and absolutely stunning! Full step-by-step
tutorial, wiring diagrams, CircuitPython code, and downloadable
images are available on the Adafruit Learning System here:
