I have been messing around with the Carbide software a bit, and I don't think that this is possible, but I figured I would ask.

Is it possible to flash the individual outputs on the traffic advisor as if they are specific lightheads, or are they only able to flash with the designated left, right, and traffic advisor flash patterns?

I am not a huge fan of traffic advisors, as I do not feel that the average motorist actually understands what they are indicating. However, I am running out of outputs, and would like to utilize the traffic advisor outputs rather than burning a bunch of them on a bunch of lightheads in the traffic bar.

My ultimate goal is to have all of the lightheads on the truck, including the lightbar, be in sync. I have seen a lot of different lighting set ups, and I feel that having big blocks of synced lighting to be the most effective.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry to say you can not flash each of the outputs individually. But what light bar are you using and what ta are you using? Maybe you can use we can controller and the carbide together to make them flash the same...

Just buy the 16 output WECAN expansion module. All my Carbide installs, I put one of these under the hood for all the foward facing lighting. Easier to route just the WECAN wires to the Carbide.

This is one of the features of the Cantrol I wish they'd add to the carbide, I think it would be easy to do, but alas at this point you can't. As tackleberry says the expansion is your best best
