• 2 sided display
  • 526 total LEDs (WS2802B)
  • lots of solder and wire
  • Arduino Nano
  • Voltage regulator
  • 7.4v RC battery pack

I started riding with the Providence Bike Jam crew at the beginning of 2021, and I knew from my first ride that these were my folks. Lights, music, smiles, and bicycle advocacy; what’s not to love.

Given my recent excursion into the world of microprocessors and LEDs, I knew I had to make something for my bike. So, I made a rough trace of my frame space, cut some wood, plastered each side with LEDs.

I can upload new patterns/designs to the Nano, which helps keep it fresh. I’m currently working on plans to adapt this rig to be sound reactive.

Custom Mapping with MoonModules WLED Fork

I recently was working on mapping a custom LED layout for the Lil’ Lamb I made before The Big Deal, a Wooly Fair event in Providence, Rhode Island. I realized that the MoonModule WLED sound reactive fork offered a bit more for me and my oddball LED layouts, and figured out that the way for me to map it was with a 2d-gaps.json file. Once I figured that out, I realized I could run the same sound reactive WLED installation on this bike LED display as well. Stay tuned for more updates!
