So first off, the gear (note I might not use all of the gear just listing all of it)
1x STL traffic advisor (6 led modules) (external controller) (amber)
2x Whelen Dual Talon (amber)
1x Whelen Dual Avenger (amber)
2x Code 3 LED flashers (white)
6x POS Amazon crappy thingys (white) (external controller) ((couldn't figure out how to resize picture, but these thingys http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71fOv-REwEL._SL1000_.jpg ))
Ok so what I want to do:
In the front will be the Avenger on the dash and 2x POS Amazon thingys in the headliner, the rest in the rear.
LED flashers in the tail lights, traffic advisor on deck, and the 2 talon's and 4 POS things in headliner (POS things are already installed
)
What needs to be visible:
The rear manly for highway visibility and on the side of the road
What I plan to use to control it all:
Arduino Mega for rear control and Nano/Mini for front control, will communicate with rear unit.
I will determine a pattern that works and stick with it.
Questions:
If I control the lights via the arduino, will the Whelen's and Code 3's work in solid burn and react to an interrupt in the ground?
As for the STL and POS, do I need LED drivers? as I will be directly controlling them. I was planing on using some high current transistors to do the job. What is the best strategy for using the equipment that I have. Please bare in mind that I am a DIY kind of guy, so I don't really want something that will do this for me. And I am bored.
Thanks!!!
