Glow in the Dark Skateboard is a "smart" skateboard that makes skateboarding more fun and safer. It has electroluminescent wire and LED lights to make it bright and colorful. The lighting pattern changes based on the skateboard's orientation - level, upward, or downwards. This is implemented with Python code that continuously runs on a Raspberry Pi to calculate the pitch of the skateboard with an accelerometer.
