Wow, thank you for sharing this. What happens - just out of curiosity - when the wheel slows down or stops moving altogether? That is, what is the effect like then?

As the wheel slows down the microcontroller detects that and changes the led pattern at a slower rate. But at a slow enough rotation your eyes start seeing each individual led arm rather than the whole image.

When the wheel stops I have it detect that and stop shining the LED's until it starts spinning again.
