Brake light and turn signals for backpacks #CircuitPlaygroundExpress @hackadayio

Estudio Roble posts on hackaday.io a backpack project with electronic signaling. An accelerometer autodetects braking. The turn signals are commanded by a 315MHz radio module. 78 NeoPixels are used for lighting the indicators with an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express (CPX) controlling the project.

The remote of the radiolink is installed on the handlebar. By pressing buttons of one side or another, the turn signals are light up. They remains blinking as you keep the button pressed and 3 seconds after you released it.

An accelerometer autodetects the braking and change the default blue light by the red during half  a second.

The project is coded in CircuitPython.
