Turn your bike wheel into a colorful persistence-of-vision display with CircuitPython. In this project, I’m using a Feather microcontroller and six high-speed LED strips mounted to the spokes of a bike wheel to display patterns, graphics, and animated images while the wheel spins. A USB battery keeps everything portable, and a magnetic sensor detects wheel speed so the images stay looking good whe...

What about XH or USB A for fixed connections that don't flop out? I2C control or EEPROM for configuration? Proper protected input ports with 5V overcurrent/overvoltage protection? ESD and overcurrent protection on each port? YES YES YES, it's time for...
