Hi, Ok so after my small break from here I’m back and I would like to start of with moving my brake module thread onto here. The whole project is open source so feel free to build one on your own. Currently, I’m still building my board so I still need some time until I can confirm that everything is working correctly but according to my bench tests everything should be working. 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 (still needs a redesign)
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
yesss! this looks very promising. am i correct if i say it’s essentially a pwm passthrough which monitors the pwm signal which determines whether to switch brakes on or off?
Rolling the Mini Remote wheel forward to toggle lights on or off, and rolling it backward to sound a horn is definitely something we need.
This even opens the possibility of having something that mounts on your helmet with one or two 18650s and a remote receiver, and it has a flashing brakelight on your helmet
i literally ran into somebody i couldn’t see because one dude had a flashing light and the other one had no lights. Tried to go around and basically slo-mo bumped into another person. I skate by moonlight all the time, zero issues… until lights…
