I don't think the young guy is looking for the simpler route and cudos to him for that!
Micro controllers are between $3 and $10 the drivers and other stuff might be another $20 but the experience, knowledge, and pride, priceless! This almost a breath of fresh air that we have some younger guys thinking this way! Buying the ready made version is kind of buying a ready made noise maker to clothes pin onto your bike when you where a kid.

I'd rather just buy the parts and do it from scratch myself! The only issues I've been having are accessibility to things that aren't something I can manufacture, like a new taillight lens, as that's not an individual part you can order. Now that you bring it up the way that you did about it being a thing of pride and you recognize that I'll do my best to make periodic updates and I'll do my best to make everything publically available, plus if people really like the end product, I may even manufacture them and sell in small quantities to those interested, but that may be years down the road. P.S. If anyone knows how to: a) Make your own reproduction taillight lenses pretty easily b) knows where I can buy a real taillight lens that I can put on a factory housing c) If you can make taillight lenses Please either reply or send me a message!
