I actually plan a GPS module that will increase the flash rate as you go faster. Clearly one may not drive at 88mph so I was planning to build it for 88 and then put some divode code in the software that would work at 11 mph for walking, then 22, 44, 66 and 88. that way it just pulses when stationary or below 2mph (very slow walk) and then does more interesting things depending on speed and the multiplier setting.
The biggest problem is machining the mechanical parts to look just right. The electronins and coding are easy for me. Just cutting, drilling and polishing the clear plastic parts to shape will take some time.
A totally frivolous and useless project but, fun. I shall probaly do most of the machining at Charlotte Hackerspace which I just joined. It lets the inherrent geek in me get out - which is OK when you are retired.
