@RueNahcMohr I screwed up the pin assignment on the mcu, so I think some segments are on the same PWM channel. I suppose it doesn’t stop me from dimming all the lights at once though …

The latest iteration of my #PCB to replace the tail lights in my #EV #Mustang arrived earlier from JLC.@FritzAdalis yeah, think this is the way. The top and bottom are a little more frosted so the light is more diffused.

The latest iteration of my #PCB to replace the tail lights in my #EV #Mustang arrived earlier from JLC.I don’t love the harshness of LEDs. They go so quickly from off to on. I wanted to try and simulate a bulb a bit by having it ramp up/down quickly. Not sure if it would work. But I screwed up the pin assignment on the MCU (pi pico) in this version. So I think I’ll need to respin this board to get PWM working for all segments.

The latest iteration of my #PCB to replace the tail lights in my #EV #Mustang arrived earlier from JLC.Ooh, maybe they should ‘slide’ up and down. There’s 100ms here between rows. Perhaps a little slow.

The latest iteration of my #PCB to replace the tail lights in my #EV #Mustang arrived earlier from JLC.So, what’s better for nighttime/headlights-on mode? Top and bottom rows permanently on, middle section comes on for brakes? Or middle section permanently on and top and bottom come on for brakes?

The latest iteration of my #PCB to replace the tail lights in my #EV #Mustang arrived earlier from JLC.@RueNahcMohr yeah, fair, it is a lot more complicated than a single bulb. The motivation behind this is that I want to hide the EV charging ports behind the tail lights. That way the overall look of the car stays the same. Putting an mcu on the board lets me play around with different sequences. I could, for example, have the lights ‘fill up’ as the car is charging.

The latest iteration of my #PCB to replace the tail lights in my #EV #Mustang arrived earlier from JLC.@WhombeX don’t think so. It was on the road before with the original single bulb setup without issue. I’m consulting with a qualified automotive engineer to oversee the other modifications I’m making to the car. This will be one of the things I ask him about, but I don’t foresee any issues.

The latest iteration of my #PCB to replace the tail lights in my #EV #Mustang arrived earlier from JLC.A little bit of coding later and I have a ‘demo’ working.
