Step 10Wiring the LED/Pushbuttons for the Turning Signals
For this part, we will be wiring up the LEDs and pushbuttons for the switches that will control the turning signals.
That means we'll have a total of 8 more wires traveling up through the strap into the control box. That's a lot of real estate for such a small space, so in the interest of saving space and redundant wire pulls, I cut a length of Ethernet cable, which is perfect since it has 8 wires inside, and ran it through into the box. The LEDs will be paralleled up with their respective turning signals, flashing at the same rate, and the buttons will be wired into the Arduino Skinny as input devices.
