This project uses LED lights controlled by an accelerometer and gyroscope to challenge your skateboarding creativity. The LED lights change according to what trick is being performed. For example, a shuvit (180-degree yaw rotation) changes the lights blue. a kickflip (360-degree roll) changes the color to red. when both tricks are done simultaneously (varial flip)
