In this Instructable I’ll show you how to make a electronic dashboard for a bicycle. We’ll be using an Arduino and a few off-the-shelf parts to create a system with light control and an LED speedometer. Step 1: Materials Arduino Micro (RadioShack #: 276-258) 12V 10W halogen bulb (RadioShack #: 272-011) (2x) 12V lamp (RadioShack …
Let’s face it. Taillights are boring. At best they go ‘blink blink – look at me! I’m blinking – woohoo’ all the time. And they’re always red. Very creative. We can do better than that, maybe not much, but still better than just ‘blink blink’. I was riding my bike during new year celebrations and …

You likely have great lights front and rear already, but what about on the sides of your bike? When crossing intersections, and cruising down those long …

Monitor your road speed using the Arduino. This project uses a magnetic switch (also called a reed switch) to measure the speed of one of the bike’s wheels. The Arduino calculates the mph, and send this information out to the LCD screen on the handlebars as you ride. It is compatible with any kind of …
