Blake from the Roadskater is always snapping pictures on his rides. Well, this time I got him during the Tour to Tanglewood MS Ride. ;) Can’t wait for the 2011 Carolina Century. Will be a great ride!
The picture quality is better when viewed full sized.
An Arduino Duemilanove, 16×2 LCD, and Qik 2s9v1 motor control in a fairly simple circuit. I’m not much of a solderer, so the jumbled mess is a mess and the joints are blobs. But, hey! It works! Need to get the voltage readouts working, test using different PWM settings, and probably use a better (read alkaline) battery.

Plaster down for the yard with a few randomly placed buildings. Don’t you love my paper engine house?
