    Smart motorcycle helmet lighting follows your signals

    Arduino Team — June 28th, 2019

    When riding a motorcycle, it’s important to be seen, and if other vehicles can see your brake lights and turn signals as well, all the better. To help with visibility, YouTuber “MechTools” outfitted his helmet with a brake light and turn indicators that activate along with the motorcycle’s built-in signals.

    The video below shows off how it was built, using an Arduino Uno onboard the motorcycle, plus a Nano embedded in the helmet. A pair of nRF24L01 transceivers enable the two Arduinos to communicate wirelessly, and three TIP122 transistors controls the lighting directly for sufficient power output.

    While a neat concept, be sure that you don’t compromise your helmet’s structural integrity or legality if you try something similar! Code is available in the video’s description.

    Futuristic Skully Motorcycle Helmet Has Built-in Heads Up Display with Weather, GPS

    Gadget fans who ride motorcycles / scooters rejoice! Introducing Skully, a futuristic helmet that combines smartphone-pairing and voice controls with an integrated Heads Up Display that shows both turn-by-turn directions as well as provides full 180° view of what’s behind

    The Skully Synapse HUD is integrated into the helmet visor and appears to float around 20 feet ahead of the rider’s field of view.

    Although the map is persistent, two views are available: one with a simple design incorporated into the rearview display and another for more detailed turn-by-turn navigation. Skully claims the lithium ion battery is good for nine hours – a full day’s worth of riding – and the helmet will meet both the U.S. DOT and European ECE safety standards.
