We are building a 2005 Ford Excursion for the 2024 world car shows in Detroit, New York, L.A. culminating in Las Vegas at the SEMA show. Want to add some custom features to this unit and bring it up to present day technology. Some things are easier than others.
Obviously, we are working on a 12v system so chose the Arduino Nano to accomplish 2 things and perhaps more. At first we were heading down the 555 road but finally settled here but need some help from the guru's.
First thing we want to do is add cornering LED lights which will illuminate when the same side blinker is activated with a delay to off of 6 to 10 seconds after steering clicks the blinker off.
Second plan is to have automatic canceling blinkers. The idea is to push the turn signal switch to the point that the signal starts but before the significant detent that holds the arm in place. Use that initial on trigger to continue sending pulses for a defined time or number of pulses and then stop.
Bottom line is this is not our skillset. We can solder and understand the ideas but applying it will just take to much time. Anyone want to help us and then see your work on some big stages?
We will buy everything and pay a fee to get this done. If you have an alternative plan we would love to go anther direction.
Thank you for your time and consideration
