LED Smart Emoji Tail Light

LibreBike L1 LED Smart Emoji Tail Light

LibreBike L1 is an open-source LED smart tail light for bicycles. It aims to provide a lightweight, customizable, and feature-rich tail light solution for cyclists. The project is designed to be accessible to everyone, with the source code, PCB schematics, and designs available on GitHub.

Features

1. Ultra-Light Design: The LibreBike L1 tail light is designed to be lightweight, weighing only 50 grams. It's engineered to be unobtrusive and won't add unnecessary weight to your bike.

2. ANT+ Battery Indicator: Stay informed about your tail light's battery status using the ANT+ battery level indicator. This feature sends battery level information to your bike computer, allowing you to plan your rides better and avoid unexpected battery depletion.

3. Type-C Charging Port: The Type-C charging port ensures fast and convenient charging for your tail light. You can easily recharge it before your next ride, ensuring that you're always prepared.

4. Customized Graphics: Personalize your bike with customized graphics for your tail light. LibreBike L1 allows you to add a personal touch to your bike and make it stand out from the crowd.

5. ANT+ Capability: Unlike the Magene L308, the LibreBike L1 comes with built-in ANT+ capability. It supports the Bicycle Lights (LGT) ANT+ feature. This enables wireless communication with a bike computer or similar controller mounted on your bike's handlebars. The information transmitted includes manufacturer and product IDs, battery level, light state (on/off), and flashing speed. The ANT+ bike light controller can provide real-time feedback to the cyclist and manage the state of the lights based on user input or automation.

6. Device Dashboard: Connect to the device dashboard using your phone or PC. The dashboard, powered by Mongoose web server technology, allows you to customize graphics and adjust various settings for your LibreBike L1 tail light.
