Sirvoe - another mode (rear lights)
Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2018 11:17 pm
Hi Kevin,
Just writing to see how viable this would be. It kind of relates to my email asking for KV1 sounds so I can install my remaining ASP2 in KV1 instead of my bulldog (which is in pieces anyway). But the main reason it's still in pieces is because I need to make sure my wiring for rear lights is all good before I can start painting and assembling everything. I got an aluminum hull cage I made, which makes it harder to get to the rear lights if I need to rewire resistors or change LEDs. KV1 only has 1 barely visible light, so not a big deal how it works, but on bulldog I'd like the rear lights to function like rear lights should while driving and braking.
Currently ASP2 rear light functionality, I believe to the best of my memory, is ON only when in reverse.
I know we talked about this over a year ago, where you told me I can try some programming. But not having any experience programming in picaxe, this seems like a project and a half for me, while I'm sure you could whip this out in half hour.
Would you be able to create another sirvoe mode for rear lights with these conditions?:
Using 1 output wire from sirvoe, (-) 3V (I believe that's the typical HL LED output for headlights, rear lights and machine gun LEDs):
1) 3V (-) output when headlights are ON - PWM set to create medium intensity light.
2) 3V (-) output when emergency brake (25% on CH7) is engaged - PWM set to create max intensity light.
3) Condition 2 supersedes condition 1 - when condition 2 is activated, it should be implemented regardless of the output in condition 1. And if condition 1 is activated, it should not take effect if condition 2 is active.
I know I'm asking for much, but knowing your experience and expertise, I KNOW you can implement this easily
This would help me so much, and I'm sure a lot of people with ASP would also love to see this sirvoe option.
