Thank you guys for the videos, and good advice on the bootloader. I will check that once my boards get in.
Thank you Alse..
I can see how the mosFET P-CH is working now. Good.
I think something is wrong with that simulation program I posted. The lights are still acting weird when brakes are pressed.
I am enjoying, with your guys help, figuring this out. It's one thing to buy the board from someone, then to figure it out, see how it works, do some of the programming and actually understand it.....then it is to just buy one already made.
I like the features of yours wguibas, however, for this truck, it's not feasible, as I cannot break open the LEDs and connect them individually to each of the 10 leds inside each module to get the cool fade/chaser effect while sequencing. These lights just represent a big 6inch oval LED. Besides, the way he has them mounted, it just wouldn't look right. He has each of the three LED's mounted sloping upward...not in a line like the old 66 mustangs.
However, for my car, a Mazda 6s with aftermarket LED taillights, I plan on doing something like your Camaro, once I learn all this. I will need to break open the taillights with a Dremel, rewire, then glue it back up. Sounds fun.
Anyway, I redid the schematic, let me know what you think. I think I got it all correct. Correct me if I am wrong. The Optos will probably be a cheap 4 pin SMD, if I can find one cheap.
