I am considering designing a new PWM circuit. What would you like to see in a PWM module?
The 40 LED Array is no longer available. I offer custom board design services if you need arrays of a different size than available.
To achieve best light output we are working on a parabolic reflector which will be placed on top the the LED arrays. It will be molded out of plastic and then painted in chrome.
Here are some pictures of the Corner PCB. Each side of the car will use one of these. Each PCB will have 24 LEDs mounted on it.
Here are some pictures of the STOP/TAIL PCB. Each side of the car will use two of these. Each PCB will have 40 LEDs mounted on it.
Here are some pictures of the prototype. The LEDs in the picture are much brighter than they appear. Slow flash was used in this picture which causes the LEDs to appear a lot dimmer then they really are.
Since the LED PCB will just house LEDs it does not solve the problem of stop and tail functionality. Each bulb on the 3000gt is dual filament which means they have two positive leads allowing two levels of brightness for each bulb.
To recreate this effect the LED PCB needs a circuit that will light them at different levels. Usually a simple two resistor setup could be used for this but because SnapLED are high flux and require a lot of current to work a PWM circuit works much better. There are also three diodes in this circuit to prevent damage to the LEDs from electrical transients that can occur in cars.
