Description
The Motorcycle Signal Extension project aims to increase the safety of motorcycling amongst riders by extending on visual signals. Motorcyclists communicate with each other through the use of hand signals to indicate many important ideas such as hazards in the road, whether to speed up or slow down, running low on fuel, etc. These require removing a hand from the handlebars which can lead to loss of control, they also cannot be easily seen at night. By implementing a joystick that attaches to the left handlebar that communicates to an LED grid via Bluetooth, all of the important messages can be sent to a visual display.
