    How to communicate between two devices?

    Haha the truth I don't plan on upgrading it, I plan on maybe adding more LED Strips or adding different types of color schemes! But adding other components is a rarity for now!!!

    How to Learn Programing W/ Arduino?

    I know that Arduino application (IDE) is written in C++, but the actual code that runs Arduino is in C. Yes you can use libraries that allow you to use other languages but the default language for Arduino is C. As we'll as knowing them, we'll they both benefit extremely because they provide a...

    How to choose a micro controller?

    I was curious, when looking at a list of AVR and PIC micro controller, how do we go about choosing the right one for our projects? What about size? RAM? What are the benefits of choosing a 16 pin 8 bit AVR over a 20 Pin 8 bit? How beneficial is an 8 bit over a 16 bit besides the more allowance...

    How to communicate between two devices?

    The coding is the least of my worries since i have a more than basic knowledge in C/C++ and other programming languages. Now, what if i decided down the road to later upgrade the circuit and add other features? Would the tiny one be more than sufficient to supply more better features down the...

    How to communicate between two devices?

    I'm looking for an avr chip for my custom microcontroller, I found a bunch on spark fun however some had the same specs but just different type of pins, how do I know which one benefits my needs? I saw this one and I though I'd buy it: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9061 Not super big and...

    How to communicate between two devices?

    You recommend using a microcontroller on the receiver? If i'm correct, the transmitter will be located on the bike which according to you will transmit data signal of 0 or 1 (binary values), and the receiver inside the helmet will receive the signal which will then determine how the LED strips...

    How to communicate between two devices?

    Thanks i will look into it, so in your opinion i should really do a Bluetooth? However, i do plan to have the LED on as long as the motorcycle lights are on, and when i brake thats when they will "Shine Bright Light a Diamond" lol. I was also wondering, would it be a good idea to have a toggle...

    How to communicate between two devices?

    Well im planning to use the :LED Strips that are already together and come with all the necessary components! The thing is, that i wanted to use an arduino and inserted into the motorcycle that will control the brightness of the LED, however, i was directed by one of the users, to stay away from...

    How to communicate between two devices?

    Your right as well, i forget that adding a battery could increase the weight of the helmet. However, the helmet temperature? I dont really mind much about the weight since the increase my be very small, but what about the fact that the battery will heat up, would that burn my head? What type of...

    How to communicate between two devices?

    I'm in my sophomore year of College, I've taken about two classes regarding Electronics (both 3 months), I'm not a pro but I know what I want isn't really a hard task! I'm willing to research ahead since it benefits me tremendously! The jacket idea is a nice one, maybe add arrows lol but I don't...

    How to communicate between two devices?

    Yes your right, however, I'm not making any modifications to the helmet itself! I will be adding plastic designs on to the helmet as if it is part of the helmet, obviously those extra plastic attachments will be hallow to allows any cables, battery etc to be place! I want the LED on the helmet...

    What size resistor to choose?

    Its very basic question i know, however, i was curious as to what size resistor would we need for specific schematic. I'm not sure how to test whether i need a resitor around 100 Ohms or 1M Ohms. How do i test what resistor i need? I know i need to know the voltage that will be running thru the...

    What do different color wire mean?

    Okay yeah that makes sense, i just tend to second guess myself and rethink things. But alrighty then, So are all the Other Color Cables simple POWER cables like the red one? If thats the case then i'll simply Used Red Cable for Power and color them in with a Sharpie, and use Black For Ground...

    What do different color wire mean?

    Yes i somewhat understand, its still a bit misleading and confusing but nothing that few practice can improve. I'm currently dealing with circuit wiring such as a Nintendo 64.
