Brake light effect when truck stop and braking

[nutter]

Hello,To simulate real vehicle.How do I set SFR-1 sound teacher to make the brake light always on at stationary with low brightness,and high brightness when the vehicle braking.Thank you!

brake light always on at stationary with low brightness,and high brightness when the vehicle braking

And when driving? Also low brightness? Or completely off?

Hello Andy,
I mean, when the truck starts, the brake lights can be turned on and kept at a low brightness.
When the vehicle brakes, the brake lamp becomes high brightness for a few seconds, and then returns to lower brightness.

Just like the picture shows.

Configure the output as "Combined rear light" and set Intensity to e.g. 10% and Option 1 to 90% and Option 2 to 0%.

Then activate the "Parking light" and "Brake light possible" for each Step under the Lightswitch function.

So the low brightness is actually the parking light and when the truck brakes it will switch to high brightness and back automatically.

If you have parking lights in front they will also be on all the time. If that is a problem there is an option to use two outputs connected to one LED, but let's leave that to later.

Hello Rascal,
The function was set up successfully. I didn't even know there was such an operation. This module is simply too powerful. Thank you very much!

Hi Rascal
I want to do this too. In your scenario above would the front parking lights become brighter when the brakes are on? Should the rear lights be a circuit of their own?

I am building a trailer first with the Bluetooth module because the truck is not available yet.

Thanks

Hello Ray,

In your scenario above would the front parking lights become brighter when the brakes are on?

If you use the same output, configured as "Combined rear light", then yes.

Should the rear lights be a circuit of their own?

It depends - if you have dedicated parking lights at front and rear, i.e. those LEDs are not combined with any other function like low/high beam (at the front) or brake/fog light (at the rear), then you may connect them to the same output. But if the LEDs have combined functions, then you must separate them.
If you have a single LED for parking light, low and high beam at the front you can configure the output to "Combined headlight". (You may also supress each of the lights by setting the intensity or option to 0%.)

You may also use another output if you need to control the intensity at front and rear separately for example, i.e. you can have multiple outputs configured as "Parking light" and also some combined lights; they will all switch on automatically with their configured intensitiy when the parking light is turned on, either by function "Parking light" or by means of the light switch.

Some examples:
1. Dedicated parking lights at front and rear
- Output A configured as "Parking light"

2. Dedicated parking lights at front and rear but intensity controlled separately
- Output A configured as "Parking light" intensity = 20%
- Output B configured as "Parking light" intensity = 12%

3. Dedicated parking lights at front, combined rear light (parking, brake & fog light)
- output A configured as "Parking light"
- output B configured as "Combined rear light"

4. Combined headlight (parking, low & high beam), combined rear light (parking, brake & fog light)
- output A configured as "Combined headlight"
- output B configured as "Combined rear light"

5. Dedicated high beam, combined headlight (only parking & low beam), dedicated brake light, combined rear light (only parking & fog light)
- output A configured as "Combined headlight", Option 2 = 0%
- output B configured as "Combined rear light", Option 1 = 0%
- output C configured as "High beam headlight"
- output D configured as "Brake light"
