Visual warning assembly

A method for transmitting a visual warning between a first user and a second user, the method comprising:

• providing a first visual warning assembly and a second visual warning assembly, each visual warning assembly having:
• a case formed by a base and a front face;
• an enclosed space formed within the case;
• an antenna;
• a lighted button disposed on the case and configured to illuminate and de-illuminate;
• and
• a microcontroller disposed within the enclosed space and electrically coupled together with the antenna and lighted button,
• wherein the visual warning assembly is configured to send and to receive communications having instructions to and from other visual warning assemblies,
• pressing the button of the first visual warning assembly, causing the button of the first visual warning assembly to illuminate, and the button of the second visual warning assembly to illuminate;
• and
• pressing the illuminated button of the second visual warning assembly, causing de-illumination of the illuminated button of the first visual warning assembly and the illuminated button of the second visual warning assembly.

A visual warning system for transmitting a signal from a first user to a second user, the visual warning system comprising:

• a first visual warning assembly and a second visual warning assembly, each visual warning assembly having:
• a case formed by a base and a front face;
• an enclosed space formed within the case;
• an antenna;
• a lighted button disposed on the case and configured to illuminate and de-illuminate;
• a channel display button;
• a channel selector button;
• a power button;
• a rechargeable battery to power the respective visual warning assembly;
• a charging port disposed on the case to facilitate charging of the rechargeable battery;
• an ambient light sensor disposed on the case;
• a status light disposed on the case configured to illuminate when the first visual warning assembly is in radio communication with the second visual warning assembly;
• a microcontroller disposed within the enclosed space and electrically coupled together with the antenna, the lighted button, the channel display, the channel selector, the power button, the battery, the ambient light sensor, and the connection status indicator light;
• and
• a mount configured to mount the first visual warning assembly to a handlebar of a motorcycle,
• wherein the visual warning assembly is configured to send and to receive communications having instructions to and from other visual warning assemblies;
• wherein the first user provides power to the first visual warning assembly utilizing the power button of the first visual warning assembly and the second user provides power to the second visual warning assembly utilizing the power button of the second visual warning assembly;
• wherein the first user selects a communication channel with the channel selector button of the first visual warning assembly;
• wherein the second user selects the communication channel with the channel selector button of the second visual warning assembly, establishing radio communication between the first visual warning assembly and the second visual warning assembly;
• wherein the first user presses the button of the first visual warning assembly causing the button of the first visual warning assembly to illuminate, a first instruction be sent from the first visual warning assembly to the second visual warning assembly, and the button of the second visual warning assembly to illuminate;
• wherein the second user presses the illuminated button of the second visual warning assembly the illuminated button of the first visual warning assembly and the illuminated button of the second visual warning assembly de-illuminated;
• wherein as the button of the first visual warning assembly is illuminated, the ambient light sensor of the first visual warning assembly detects a change in a light condition and changes a brightness level of the illuminated button of the first visual warning assembly;
• and
• wherein as the button of the second visual warning assembly is illuminated, the ambient light sensor of the second visual warning assembly detects a change in a light condition and changes a brightness level of the illuminated button of the second visual warning assembly.
