lighting system kit like a real car

[cougar72]

at the last race PACA2 (south france) i saw a lighting system kit like a real car
DV&QA is cheaper than axial kit and do more thinks

i do not know some one else building same think

i found the vidéo on youtube
module eclairage DV&QA V2 sur DEF90 - YouTube

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………
require radio 3 channel
jst-xh in 2S (7.4V) or 3S (11.1V) as you which on the order
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………
mode 1 -
headlight
…………1 way for Low beam
…………1 way for hight beam

‪Taillight‬
…………1 way for stop
…………1 way for Low beam

mode 2 -
headlight
…………1 way for Low beam + hight beam (same led with different power)
…………1 way for Light Bars or auxiliary lamp
‪Taillight‬
…………1 way for stop + Low beam (same led with different power)
…………1 way for stop only (3rd stop)


…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………



Stop ‪Taillight‬ ……………………….works automatiquely
‪Back Up Light‬ ……………………….works automatiquely

Turn light right ……………….turn right + short push on 3rd channel…………stop > turn opposite way
Turn light left ……………….turn left + short push on 3rd channel…………stop > turn opposite way
turn light are orange
you not have to full turn, 50% is enough


Warning ……………….turn left or right + long push 2 second on 3rd channel…………stop > turn left or right + short push on 3rd channel

Flash light ……………….no turn + short push on 3rd channel


Low beam (dipped beam, passing beam, meeting beam)……………….no turn + long push 2 second on 3rd channel
…………stop > turn right + short push on 3rd channel

when Low beam ON, Turn light and Warning can work


High beam (main beam, driving beam, full beam)……………….no turn + long push 4 second on 3rd channel
(turn OFF Low beam first if they are on)
…………1st way stop > long push 4 second on 3rd channel
…………2nd way stop > short push on 3rd channel and you will have Low beam ON

The Tamiya kit isn't that expensive in this case.

Axial makes the NVS system to add scale lighting. It runs $120 street.

I am currently working on an Arduino based version of this. My goal is simplicity to allow anyone with some solder skills to do the project. I'm still waiting for parts but I have a working prototype.

Final cost should be no more than $20.

Pretty interesting, however, your link doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks, Ron

Im moving the video to Youtube. Be up in a minute

The Tamiya kit is so basic (4 led) that is an other subject, i found it really expensive for what it can do
it's a Simple LED controller like the axial AX24257

Axial makes the NVS system to add scale lighting. It runs $120 street.

did 'nt see the back light,
did 'nt see the tail lights in the led description
did 'nt see the dimmed headlights
did 'nt see the warning headlights
did 'nt see the flash light to say hello to a mate, they work any time in the same time of other light (turn signals for example)
and i did'nt have the notice of all possibilities
i think that the "DV&QA V2" should be less than $100 with shipping to US

if i get one i will traduce

I'm yet to find a kit with "proper" control of the direction indicators.

What I want is to:

• Activate left/right using a radio channel, independant of steering position.
• Deactivate by
  • steering back to neutral after beeing past a threshold level (adjustable) in the indicated direction, or
  • on first activation signal in the opposite direction (while active).

if you look the vidéo you Activate left/right using the 3rd channel but you have to turn wheel to choose the side
Deactivate is what you want

i just found the notice

mode 1 -
headlight
…………1 way for Low beam
…………1 way for hight beam

‪Taillight‬

…………1 way for Low beam

mode 2 -
headlight
…………1 way for Low beam + hight beam (same led with different power)
…………1 way for Light Bars or auxiliary lamp
‪Taillight‬
…………1 way for stop + Low beam (same led with different power)
…………1 way for stop only (3rd stop)

Yes, I noticed. Having to turn the wheels totally counteract the idea of indicating where you plan to go as opposed to indicating where you're currently going.

[cougar72]

i don't think you have to turn the wheels totally,

but i think you will have this problem on every kit for 3 channels radio, unless you programming Morse · · · — — — · · · it's a bit complicate

i don't know, maybe you may found that can of kit for the truck that need a radio with a lots of channel

That's a given! At least two channels for the lighting OR have the one channel used for direction indicators only.

[cougar72]

and nothing for the motor and the servo
i didn't understand you want a light kit for a table or a chair
