The latest iteration of my #PCB to replace the tail lights in my #EV #Mustang arrived earlier from JLC. Looks like 5th times the charm. I managed to actually get this version to do something.

A little bit of coding later and I have a ‘demo’ working.

So, what’s better for nighttime/headlights-on mode? Top and bottom rows permanently on, middle section comes on for brakes? Or middle section permanently on and top and bottom come on for brakes?

@chrskly I would expect all 3 on for braking and sequence left/right for turning.

not sure about running lights, maybe just all dim?

@RueNahcMohr I screwed up the pin assignment on the mcu, so I think some segments are on the same PWM channel. I suppose it doesn’t stop me from dimming all the lights at once though …

@chrskly your controller is more than fast enough to do software pwm without anyone noticing. :]

@RueNahcMohr you make an excellent point. Not like it has much else to do.
