    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    Just curious, why not the nano and the sensor? I mean the software is plug and play. You can use Siri voice commands to power it on

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    This looks so cool, is this storage only? or also cooler ? sorry for the high jacking!

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    Sorry for the confusion, I'm not stating that having on the headlights will make a solid non pwm signal on the OEM ambient lights. I'm stating, in my case, I would see at least an average of ~3v when I have the headlights on + ambient lights toggled on in the screen, despite of being sunny...

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    I did manage to have a working relay, the second one I shared This one, so this qualifies as a hardware solution only. Why I didn’t stick to that was I could not turn rgb lights unless it was dark since I did not know that having your headlights on would make the trick. That relay that I linked...

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    Yesterday I noticed my ambient light turned on after I turned on the headlights manually, since it was not dark enough but I was driving on a one lane-two way highway and it was required. after that I was able to control the lights with the ambient light button on the screen. So conclusion, oem...

    setting the ambient lights to breathing green while charging ----------solid when done but still plugged .... ay ay ay ..... I wish I could spend more time on this.

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    I briefly read, the CAN is a standard bus with standard baud rate, reading from it should not be complex, decoding it might, as the data packets can be encoded in a proprietary way. There might be public databases from already known components, none the less this would be a very deep dive into a...

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    I am powering with 16V via barrel connector, no need to use the buck, as the model I have supports up to 24 V. I been given homework by @vcor !!! Thanks, better hobby than being ranked number 2 world wide in a fighting video game. Finding the way to decode the CAN must prove interesting!

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    Hi, due to my code relying mostly on ArduinoBLE library I BELIEVE any of these boards should work: Arduino MKR FOX 1200 Arduino MKR GSM 1400 Arduino MKR NB 1500 Arduino MKR VIDOR 4000 Arduino MKR WAN 1300 (LoRa connectivity) Arduino MKR WAN 1310 Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 Arduino MKR ZERO (I2S bus...

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    updated the code with some enhancement as when I installed due to the PWM I saw readings of 0 and this can trigger the lights flickering, in the car I coded a loop for averaging the reads and that solved the problem. Project completed!

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    One more post with all the information: PLEASE NOTE: this will ONLY work if you have a generic ELK-BLEDOM rgb controllers like the ones @Proppilot recommended. List of materials: Arduino R4 Wifi Dupont cables Voltage Sensor wiring the sensor to the arduino: from the 3 pins on the sensor: +...

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    here is my code: github This should be publicly accessible. I will work on a tutorial over the weekend. Arduino can be powered with a barrel connector or usb, I read that with usb bluetooth module from time to time doesn't start well. needing a recycle so I will go with the same source that...

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    TLDR: You hook it into a usb, then open a program like word, edit very few lines hopefully one or two, ideally none, click a button and voiala. Long version: using arduino IDE select board, libraries, on a new sketch paste the code that I will share, upload the program to the arduino. I will...

    I will absolutely share my code. Ill be sure to document it.

    RGB Ambient Lighting project for Palladium Model S - lets do it

    Good news! after several hours because of some poor documentation, I am able to power ON/OFF the rgb lights using exclusively arduino via BLE command. This approach leaves out pinging phone's bluetooth, meaning I would not rely on my phone's bluetooth for the rgbs to go on. With arduino and...
