Once upon a time, we used playing cards in the spokes to make noise. Then came electronics and some of us wrapped a wire around that orange flag on the back wheel and mounted a small mobile CB radio to the handlebars. Today, we have NeoPixel strips and customize our bikes with dazzling visual effects. Amazing! I can see a choreographed ride someday, where all the bikes are wirelessly connected together and the data is not limited to each individual bike. Put 10, 20 or 50 bikes together and have a moving display that is in sync. The sky's the limit. Keep up the great work TechnoChic! 👍

Thanks! Yes! I would love to make a multi-bike display. The micro:bits can sense the strength of the radio signal between them, so I want to try to make the bikes change color based on their distance from the main controller/lead bike. Haven’t tried it yet- need to experiment and see if it could work! 💃🏻✨Thanks for the encouragement!

That would be fun to see.

I filed away somewhere in my mind the point of microbit having better communications. Great point to share.

It's great. I think many people will watch my videos and say "Why aren't you using something more complex?" My answer is: because I don't have to.

This is a great series of videos. I struggle with the mechanical stuff so it is particularly useful to see how you solved those problems.

Oils you tell me how you power the strips. I.e. what battery do you use, do you use multiple packs split between the strips etc.?

Thanks! Glad you like them!

I use one battery for all the LEDs on the frame and another in each wheel and helmet. (One per micro:bit) Here's more about the battery: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJinard6rdTZe6s.htmlsi=S6rW0i9WX5vov546&t=187

Love this. I'm a tutor at a STEM club and we've been using Mcirobits with Neopixel strips for some time - this ups the game and will be a great project for us when we get back together. Thanks
