Instead, mostly inspired by Jeri Ellsworth’s NES purse, I had this goofball idea of a slim, battery-powered device that could be placed in ironic settings: on a bicycle, on public transit, hung from a Flavor Flav necklace, and so forth.
When accepting this assignment, I might’ve failed to mention a small detail: I don’t own a car, let alone a DeLorean, for displaying the finished prop. It was a moral imperative then to make a demo! If you’re handy with Arduino and some shop tools, you should be able to pull off something similar (better, even), or adapt the ideas to other projects. This was quickly built in fun, so please don’t expect the same level of polish as a finished product tutorial. Legally, we can’t, for trademark reasons. But it’s generally okay for anyone to create replica props for their own personal use, so we hope this writeup will inspire some cool projects among our readers…įrom the moment these LED displays made an appearance on our weekly Ask an Engineer show, comparisons were being made to the DeLorean time circuit from the Back to the Future films. Getting the big question right out of the way: no, we won’t be selling these.
