An opensource shiftlight project using Arduino and Neopixel products

In this repository you will find;

  • The .ino file that you can upload directly to your Arduino
  • A .png image of the wiring diagram
  • A .jpeg image of how the finished assembly should look
  • An .stl file for a housing for the shift light (Suits Daihatsu, but can be modified)
  • An .stl file for a housing for the Arduino
  • An .md file containing a detailed parts list.

Currently the easiest DIY shiftlight on the world wide web, you're welcome ;)

Please note, there is a mistake in this schematic. A corrected schematic is shown in issue #4

Notes:

  • This example uses a voltage divider and transistor to pull down the the tacho signal from 12v,

if your car uses a 5v tacho signal this is not needed.

  • You will need to download and install the adafruit neopixel library for IDE
