Hobby tinkering thread DJT88

Hi all,

 

I thought I'd setup a hobby thread as my introduction thread was turning more and more into a projects thread. (don't consider my projects big enough for the 'projects' subforum, so didn't post there. Mods can move if required ;) )

 

My idea for this project was to recreate the special brake light feature you see on some modern luxury cars. When they brake really hard the brake lights start flashing to warn cars behind them that they're braking hard.

I've managed to create this for the high mounted stop light on my Supra.

 

Let me know what you think! :)

 

Things I've used for this:

 

- Arduino UNO microcontroller board

- Accelerometer

- some transistors, resistors and wiring.

 

function:

 

The hardware:

managed to fit it next to the rear seats on the left.
