Sweet. Does this include options for my addressable LEDs like we discussed or not yet?

@ShutterShock, @annihil8ted, Thank you for your support! 
@Nuggia, Iāll state what we discussed separately so others can see. I will be getting some new testers, but I will have to see how many new ones Iāll need and how many people expressed interest already before I can say for sure that I can fit you in. Some people say they want to but donāt / canāt follow through when it comes time, so we will see how it turns out 
@Flasher, support for addressable LEDs is hinging on SW development right now. Now that the v4.0 HW is finished I can start on the next SW improvements which include adding support for addressable LED strips

This is an awesome project, and I cant wait until it is plug and play ready. Keep up the great work!

So I have good news and bad news about the v4.0 HW. The good news is that all but one of the new features have been proven-out and function as they should. The bad news is that one feature does not 
The features that are working propperly are:
-
No more blibking of the LEDs on power-up
-
Bootloader mode is entered automatically when a USB cable is plugged in
-
UART rx and tx are auto assigned based on the ESC that is connected
-
6DOF IMU is communicating
-
The A2D module allows the analog side LED outputs to control addressable (APA102 based) LED strips. A demo can be seen below.
The one feature that is not working properly yet is the the horn control. Since I moved the FET controlling the horn onto the Control Module PCB, it causes the micro to reset when it is activated. I need to do some rework of the PCB to make it more robust and able to withstand the noise that is created from the horn switching on/off.

Does the horn control include custom sounds?

Following! Super interesting to buy when finished thx for your effort!

You wont regret the purchase. I can no longer ride at night without the TTL on my board. Cant wait to beta that newer model

Iām the same way. I discovered compass mode after a few months and it blew my mind

I definitely want to try out making different tones by PWMing the horn output, but I wont know if that a possibility until I get the horn switching on/off without resetting the micro 
@Dunmer, @Bobby, @Ace, Thanks a ton for your support! Itās what keeps me motivated to continue improving the project

@Ricco would the ttl be able to work in conjunction with something detecting movement or speed? Iād like my adressable underglow to have a rolling effect depending on if Iām accelerating or coming to a halt (ie: green when accelerating and rolling to red when coming to a halt)
Example with 3 pixels:
Accelerating
1 on then 2 on then 3 on until they are all lit
Braking
3 turns to red then 2 then 1
Btw received the nice stickersā¦them be thicc

Yup, the TTL control module has a 6DOF IMU built in and it also reads all the real-time data from the ESC so there are all kinds of possibilities for lighting effects. When I get the v4 HW completed and get you a kit for beta testing, we can work on creating lots of cool modes 
exactly the two in mind!

It already does
Wow! Thanks for the update! This is fantastic news and keep up the good work

That is a very cool brake light solution! Do you know what LEDs you will be using? The TTL system outputs 12v, so as long as the light takes 12v it would work
P.S. I saw your post on the builders forum. I definitely think some people would want to buy a deck with integrated brake lights

@Ricco did you think of having a high amp 5v rail in the design? Adressables are 5v and can use alot of amps (IE: mine can go to 5.11a)
