LED's and Arduino Question,,,,
LED's and Arduino Question,,,, I am looking to install LED lights (a LOT) in a 1:18 diecast car. I'm slowly grasping the wire schematics, and feel the install wont be too tough (yeah right)... But, I am looking for a way to turn the lights on/off. Since I will put lights (or extend fiber optics to) tail lights, blinkers (front and rear) brake lights, fog lights, running (marker) lights, head lights, and a bevy of interior point lights via a Fiber Optic layout. My main question is the lighting controls. As you can see, I need to be able to switch a variety of lights, in different modes,,, Blinking for 4-way, blinking for turn signal, all on, just running lights on, and brakes lights on....Anyone care (dare) to step in?

You can use IR remote and some microcontroller to finish your project . It should not cost you more than $50-60.
With remote control, or a switch on the bottom like that guy had? Unless you want it remote controlled you really don't need an arduino, just some small switches.

I received a reply form the gent, who has since that video, come up with a remote control to make the lights change,,,, Now your talking way cool! He wants $150 for the remote and the module... I don't think lights are included in his 'kit'.
How tough would it be to make up an RF controller of my own?

Does that car move or is it just a model? If it doesn't move then IR would be good enough.
