pimpMyBike is done!

3 Comments/ in Uncategorized / by jdeboi

I taught a four-part Skillshare class and made a series of videos under the heading, pimpMyBike. The bike project included turning indicators, strobe light, speedometer, odometer, and brake lights.

Next stop, Kickstarter?

    WoW !!!

    I LOVE your Arduino bike lights.

    I had wanted to do something just like this and thanks to your work now I can do it with lots of help.

    Check out my web site it is the eBike I will be putting your lights on. I plan to add bar end lights and other LEDs for head lights and effects, with your LED array in the rear.

    Thanks

    Jenna,

    Fantastic videos on how to pimp your bike! I try to bike anywhere and everywhere I can (you have my support for reducing global warming.. go 350.org!). I am excited to make a similar project on one of my bicycles and have ordered most of the parts for the turn signal project. I can’t seem to find all the links on your website that you mention in the videos though. I was wondering if you could help me locate the links or if not still up, be willing to share the software programs you mentioned (e.g. LED array shape design, main program for Arduino turn signals)? I haven’t used an Arduino before and was hoping to learn the programming as I go with your project (and pimp my ride sooner) as opposed to the more lengthy solo lengthy learning curve.

    Thanks for sharing this cool project and your time!
    Kate
