Spoke POV

Kent sez –

I’d say, “Pimp your bike” but it should be “Geek your bike.”

Check out a video of Spoke POV here.

Spoke POV  (Persistance Of Vision) is a device to attach to a bike wheel to display graphics as the wheel spins. It has a row of LED’s running parallel to the spokes, and they are pulsed in sync with the rotation of the wheel to create graphics. You define the graphics. People have made Pacman chasing a ghost, and lots of cool stuff. See it in action here:

Hack.rva will have a class where you will build a Spoke POV for your bike. We will help with the assembly and soldering. The price includes the kit. There are three levels. Details can be found here:
