more taillights
June 3, 2008 – 7:02 amAll of my attention has been on a new project, but I did just order PCBs for the second round of LED taillight prototypes. This one has been cut down a bit and has a second set of mounting holes so that it can fit either series 2 or series 3 taillight housings. At least, that’s the plan!
The first prototype had six red LEDs and four white LEDs for the running light and twelve red LEDs for the brake light. This new design has four red LEDs and five white LEDs for the running light and sixteen red LEDs for the brake light. This should light up the license plate a little better, increase contrast between the running and brake lights, and make the brake light even brighter.
Getting Eagle PCB registered was such an ordeal. Good software, absolute shit customer service.
