Selfmade Sequential Shift Light Options

[Hafkai]

It´s not the most usefull thing but i just felt the urge to build something like this .... the core of this little project is a Arduino Micro, a very small but capable microcontroller board. I´m not a fan of huge shift lights that go on all of a sudden so i tried to build a sequential shift light myself, it took me some time to get the Arduino to do anything without any programming knowledge but i somehow managed to make it work

This is the outcome:

Arduino Micro Shift Light

Test setup



I used my mini DSO as signal generator, a wonderful little tool.

Looks like I'm going to have to make one some day!

What was the overall cost of this?

Edit:
Never mind, just looked it up at Radioshack and it's only $30 for the board!

The only thing is, I would have to program it to use all the individual LED's and not have it jump to doubles, after the green, like you currently have it.
I wouldn't have the blues in there either. Probably just have 3 green, 2 yellows, 2 red, and no extra ones for blue, but have all them flash blue when it's at the set shift point.
