Effective gadgets for side visibility?

An off-switch and a waterproof jacket! In! Just ordered another mini, look forward to trying it out.

One thing - do you have any thoughts on beefing up the battery holder clasps? Mine are looking a bit sorry for themselves and are bent slightly outwards, I'm assuming from bashing my wheel against sheffield stands or other people's pedals or whatever. I'm a bit worried they're going to either snap off or fail to hold batteries properly.

bothwell: Thanks! Your packet shipped today, together with others. Cannot promise to create unbreakable bike parts (simply impossible :), but will keep improving. Thanks for the feedback!

hoefla: cheers ;)

Who did i just see riding towards brixton with 2 maxi's and a red pannier bag then ?

Was too bright and traffic too slow to see the pattern.

bothwell: Thanks! Your packet shipped today

Within hours of ordering. Legend.

I keep thinking some kind of case would help act as a bash guard but god only knows how it'd attach. I do remember you not wanting to do sealed cases because they'd hold condensation inside. You should ship 'em with mini versions of these on*: http://www.promo-wholesale.com/Upfiles/Prod_r/Licensed-Scale-Miniature-Football-Helmet--Ncaa-_20090724830.jpg

*not really.

HatBeard: not everyone is from here, need to start putting some lfgss stickers inside the pack to invite them.
All: see a pic below ;)

Minor updates to the website – made single images downloadable directly from the Image Editor gallery

and from the Anonymous gallery

Actually they are not images, but Single-image-libraries – ready for uploading into the Ledus Wheelus Mini/Maxi wheel lights via usb. For those users, who don't want to mess with the standard multi-image libraries.

Fresh video – animated libs and users' images demo for the maxi lights.
I was posting gif renders and screenshots (Mario Toad, Nana, PolkaDot, Invaders, chevrons, ...), now it's time for a live video. Made a special LFGSS version :)

Thanks whatok, Ramaye, MrDrem, all anonymous buddies and twitterers for your cool designs! And thanks for the feedbacks and orders too!

Update: re-uploaded the video, now available on mobile devices and tv boxes. See below.

Make it visible on mobiles!

Oh gosh, youtube did it, not me. Must be because of the song grrrrr
Will re-upload

Hmm. Works now!

I did nothing)
Just googled - youtube can block video partly if it contains a piece of the song or remix sounding similar to the popular song. Crap. Need to change the music.

Here we go – animations and users' images live preview.
For web and mobile devices, this time youtube won't spoil it!

Still have that feeling – rotating the wheel is like operating an old manual movie camera :) Unusual.

Haha that music was great

^^ better than Nero?)
This theme is called 'Fire show', written by my friend Tim (he's also on keyboards)

Are you making more? When when when?!

Can I just recommend Taras (rr4M) for absoulte top notch customer service. If anyone is thinking about buying then his post care is better than John Lewis'!

'Sold out' :(

Chung: I'll be processing orders again soon. Maxi's are here already, and mini lights will be ready Thursday-Friday. No worries!!!
PQR: Oh, thanks, Phil. Pleased to hear, really! :)

Want to share few pics:
Police Flasher lib for ledus wheelus mini – guy who asked me to draw it is a policeman, on a bike :)

And this Maxi Cat is from recent Anonymous pics, great one!

Maxi turned up a couple of days ago - very speedy delivery.
Lots of little lovely touches in packaging and product as mentioned before.
Will try it out soon and let y'all know how it goes. I'm sure it'll be ace :)

How's everyone?

Chung: You're welcome, glad that was quick! Also saw your pokemons library:

These two are the best - a bit taller than Maxi can display, but still nice. Something fresh among our arrows and chevrons, teheheh ;)

Also canadians left their mark, cheers from there!

Great thanks :)
Yeah, a few of the others didn't play out so well, so I'll need to redo a couple.

I also tried to do a scrolling large picture (64x64) of a Charizard. Broke it up into just over 100 individual 64x10 images so that it would scroll up and down. Unfortunately the library size limit caps out at about 6 of these 64x10 images so it didn't work out :(

NP! Wow, hundred frames is a lot for this chip. Currently Maxi can handle up to 20-30 mid-size full-color pictures, Mini light – up to 40-60. Long pictures eat more space of course. As for me, short patterns look more effective – and you can pack more of them. Just a quick tip :)
Use Maxi default and Mini default libraries as the reference points (20 and 40 images respectively – not max, but close to the limit).

BTW, has anyone used the other lighting systems? How many images can be flashed there?

Just wondered if anyone had an unwanted/unused Maxi they fancied selling for cash monies? rr4m is out at the moment and would really like one soonish.... if working happy to pay pretty much RRP.

Cheers

Hi Taras or anyone else who might know.

I broke the battery holders on my ledus (probably in a crash I walked away from). One is lost entirely and the other has lost one of the side clips.

Reckon I can replace them with anything like this and it'll work again with a little solder?

as long as you clean any varnish from the contacts and re-varnish so the contacts are good. They are the 'new' style contacts.
