I have been inspired by this website's experiment, I believe humans will get a more safe environment for biking after getting this kind of system. https://www.instructables.com/Bike-Turn-Signal-Bra...

Basically, this is the system that builds for light. How and Why? people can show the direction they are ready to go by just put the right or left bottom then the direction will just show on the screen so the car or any other obstacle that able to move won't hit the biker anymore because of misunderstanding. Moreover, it could also decrease the resources of wasting because of surgery for that accident. I hope I can make a nice and safe environment for bikers so I decide to make the machine better and more valuable. Honestly, this machine is very doable, it only required less technique and skills. You just have to understand how to make a bottom and LCD screen work. About this project, I change the shining lights to the words that including ( Right ) and ( Left ). In addition, I also replace most of the components with wires and resistance. Let's start to do it together in order to get away from the danger!

First Prepare All the Stuff You Are Going to Use

What we need for doing this Project !

Tools

1. computer

Materials

1. Bread Board

2. Arduino ( LEONARDO )

3. 2 Bottoms

4. 14 wires

5. 1 LCD screen

code

Second Steps Start to Making Your Machine

That's start to making our breadboard

GND ( on the Arduino Leonardo ) connect to - 5V ( on the Arduino Leonardo ) connect to +

LCD screen:

GND on the screen connect to Leonardo's GND

VCC on the screen connect to Leonardo's 5v

SDA on the screen connect to Leonardo's SDA

SCL on the screen connect to Leonardo's SCL

Bottom:

picture 2 shows how to connect it between the Arduino and Breadboard

Third Steps : CODE of the Whole System

follow this code in order to make the system like mine

https://create.arduino.cc/editor/ethanan/dbd1b22b-...

First, I change the system's shining display to the words display

second, I add liquid crytel in top of my code in order to display words on the LCD screen

Third, I increse the time limit for words display

Decoration of the Safety System

In fact, bike this sports required very stable instruments in order to keep those machine won't fall after a huge vibration because of the unregular surface of the floor. because of those requirements, I'm going to make a box that is beautiful and also functional although it might take a lot of planning and risk. I use a box to contain the whole Arduino and use tape to stable the machine inside the box. in order to still keep the apreance of box, I use different color to decoration it. In the fourth Picture I add a small peace of cardboard so the breadboard could be more stronger and stable.

Fifth Steps : Final Product

Ethan-An Arduino project - life Screen for biker

this is how my final product looks like. How to use it?

Press right-bottom -> (right) will show on the screen

Press left-bottom -> (left) will show on the screen

Here is the video of how it works
