TL;DR

The article describes a project that transforms a bicycle wheel into a vibrant persistence-of-vision display using CircuitPython. Created by Erin St Blaine, this setup utilizes six high-speed LED strips mounted on three spokes, controlled by a Feather microcontroller. As the wheel spins, the microcontroller displays colorful patterns and images while a magnetic sensor adjusts the timing based on the wheel's speed.
