Hi,
Ok so I have been working on a PWM controlled brake light controller for quite a while now and I think I’m finally able to release everything. The whole project is open source so feel free to build one on your own. Currently, I’m sending a few modules out for beta testing so the design might not be final.
Also huge thank you to @janpom (for his patience and help with my code) and @StefanMe (for his help regarding the buck converter). And @linsus for his PCB design input. Thank you all…
Key functions:
7s-13s
uses ws2812b led strips
3d printed risers to mount the LEDs (designed by @mmaner
turned on/off using the 3rd channel of your remote
cheap (around 8$ in parts per unit)
simple setup
site: 5x5 cm
5V/3A buck converter on board
possible setup: 119 rear LEDs; 47 front LEDs, <-- absolute maximum
Bear with me a second while I explain my stupidity here.
I was about to ask what the time difference was between v1 and v2 because that was the same apple and it kept well. Then I realized you took the two pictures at the same time andicriedinside.
CH3 switches on/off the whole light system. Headlight/brake light
Right now it’s always off until you apply brakes… But I’m working on a new version which will implement exactly that behavior. The advantage of the atmega328p is that you can update it via an FTDI breakout…
I want one too I bought a ws2812b led strip for the Photon remote which I didn’t get in the end so now I have the chance to finally use it in the same way I wanted to before Thanks Mich
