As you all know, I quit working on the tricycle<\/a> I was planning to ride to Burning Man<\/a><\/strong> this year. Doing that meant my time was more-or-less free in the last two weeks, so I thought I'd dig into another<\/em> project I wanted to do for a while now.

I since switched to colored LED's which were more readily available and more reliable. I didn't bother trying to get the heart monitor working either (at least not yet), so it's all done with variable timing to give the illusion.<\/p>\n
