they’re probably 15w equivalent…
these high power leds can do 100+ lumen per watt. 250 lumen is plenty for most places…

still finishing up the schematic and cleaning the code. I made the circuit almost half as small. simple enough that a custom pcb doesn’t make sense, yet. at this size it would be pretty cheap…
Is that running off a an attiny85? If so can the Atiny really handle the current draw from those LED’s? Would love some documentation as well!
yea its the 85. the headlight has a mosfet for upto 500ma, and leds are ws2801 rgb. so its shared 5v, 1 pwm pin to control. no worries of power draw…just limiting overall current to <800ma for vesc.
I still have some changes to make on the code but the circuit is simple. just a few resistors and pins/connectors/wires. this is pinout for underglow/brake/turn lights. p4 is unused. i’ll update it with mosfet version soon…
about $20-30 on parts depending on led options…
Thats awesome and super simplistic, I love it! Though in curious why you used that momentary switch, and what is it for?
thanks that was the idea… it connects p3 to ground when pressed will be used to configure to a new remote + changing modes maybe…
for now I’ve been reprogramming it. but for someone without an isp programmer, or code phobic the button means I can seal away everything and leave reprograming as a bonus, not a requirement…
I have enough spare parts to put together a kit, or ready to go set. pm if you’re interested.
I actually have a couple ATinys ive been wanting to use, so ill probably try doing this with them, just need to get the LED’s.
Wow, this is pretty amazing! Great work
make sure to get strips or pcb modules. not single leds they are a pain… lol
I want to try some rings next https://www.amazon.com/Adafruit-RGB-LED-Neopixel-Ring/dp/B00KAE3R1U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486069618&sr=8-2&keywords=rgb+led+ring
ok the brake and turn signal version is complete*.
but there is a small limitation that the ch1 input won’t be read while animating the leds. I tried to work around it with code but no real improvements so far.
With the headlight I wanted to have control at all times, but I didn’t want to lose the nightrider animations…
you should probably slow down or stop if you need to adjust you headlight anyways right?
my first custom pcbs from oshpark! $0.60 cents each!
about half the size of the perfboard version and saves so much time! no more button, or jst for leds, soldered leads for a solid connection!
This project got pushed to the back burner for a bit. but now its back!
new updated pcb solders directly to the rx of the nano v2. Brake lights and underglow (headlight hardware done.coming soon in firmware)
Improvements: better pinout. easier to solder gnd/vcc planes added 2x mosfet addon board.
Firmware: ch1 (Brakes) clean up. ch2 (lights) interupt drive active high.
Amazing job!
pm send i want one brake light
