    In this video I destroy my truck headlights and insert addressable LEDs into them to make my own sequential / animated turn signals. Follow along as I reduce the inherent value of my vehicle to manifest an idea I couldn't ignore.

    Every time you try to prune subscriptions, there are those channels that haven't posted in a long, long time, but which you hold out hope will one day come back to life. And so they stay. This is why.

    Have you heard of the BlueGhozt V2, an led controller made for automotive use w/ it's own software. I do think WLED with the relay system is more customisable tho, very cool 👍🏼

    So unless I missed something you seems to be using gpio 02 and 00 (d4 and d3) and these are the boot pins for the esp8266 and it's just those two that need to be in a specific state at boot time, looking at your wiring diagram you could simply move those one of the other free i/o pins.

    • @Coltography
      @Coltography  8 месяцев назад

      With this version of wled it was coded in to only use those pins for the buttons, now it's mappable and can be customized (for when I redo this)

    I went to find your ceiling tile vid and saw this one; I'm wiring up my garage to turn it from 'storage' to 'shop space' so lighting is going to be key. But I also have a "Reward" to myself of 'full LED conversion' for my own F-150 when I finish zero'ing off my remaining credit card. I'm bookmarking this and hope you keep it updated. :)

      And make plans of course. :D
      Do you have any thoughts on LED swapping to make the truck Hi-Vis when you put the hazards on? (I moved from ana apartment to a more rural area, fields fog and rain on country roads vs. the old city streets of my commute)

    I feel like as vehicles do more and more proprietary stuff with their lights and other electronics, we're going to need more people like you showing us how to replace them ourselves. And if we gotta go through the trouble, why not make them better than the companies did?
    As a sidenote: I'd be curious how to make the headlights not blind people. Especially in these taller trucks. I feel guilt driving them, because I know when I'm in a sedan those things are like tiny suns and blind me for sure.

    • @Coltography
      @Coltography  8 месяцев назад

      The issue with tall trucks is nobody aims their beams. I properly aimed mine so they don't blind people or beam into their mirrors when I'm behind them.
