![]() ![]() So the design of this project boils down to the schematic for the LEDs and the buttons in the pictures. Wire – Lots and preferably thin and flexible.Īdditionally if you want to waterproof the bars be sure to get some sugru. I used four 2k ohm resistors.īatteries – Anything 6V or greater works but I will discuss this a lot more in the ‘Custom Battery’ step. Resistors – These are needed for the pushbuttons and the RGB LED’s, so they will be specific to what you use. You should probably get more just in case. I recommend 2, but the number is up to you. If you have a choice, get the version of the Micro without headers.Ģx Pushbuttons – I used 12mm ones seen in the picture, and they work awesome.Ģx RGB LED’s – These need to be common anode to work with my code. ![]() It’s a fairly simple and cheap project, with few components.Īrduino Micro – You could also use Arduino Uno or any others, but they would have to be externally mounted to the bike. To modify your handlebars this project uses a ‘kit’, all the pieces of which can be bought at a place like Radioshack. The best way I can explain it is by showing it, SO CHECK IT OUT BELOW! ![]() The coolest thing though is that the project can be completely enclosed in the handlebars and even waterproofed! This is because the Arduino Micro will fit inside handlebars with an inner diameter of 0.7 inches or greater! It is also a cheap project with a cost of around $30-$40 to buy everything. It’s fun, cheap, and a good introductory to LEDs and arduino. The LEDs can be used as turn signals, brake lights, or display ambient colors while riding. Essentially what this project does, is put an arduino, LEDs, and buttons into your bike handlebars. This project was inspired by a very cool kickstarter called Helios Bars.
