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

[Proppilot]

removing the screen makes the project MUCH MUCH easier to tie all the wiring and controllers together.....

Everything is done, and even more than I planned, adding footwell lights.
As mentioned up-thread, I had a b**ch-and-a-half with the center console. The fit was so tight that it was nearly impossible. I did it, without adhesive of course, but it did not come out as perfect and straight as I would like. I am going to leave with it for now, until someone here gives me an idea on how to make it better. For today and this weekend, I am totally cooked. Going to spend the rest of the evening making cocktails. Well, maybe a drive first to enjoy it.

It really IS a labour of love. I have been delayed due to the temperatures for working in my garage and anxious to get back into it. So for control you wired PIN 16 to the + on the control side of the SSR and PIN 4 to the - side ? This is the way I am going.

Related to another thread on electrical operation of the screens (and will post a photo when done) on the small snap off panel above the charging tray, I mounted two rocker switches that articulate the screen IN and OUT and today I will add another ON/OFF switch that will wire in series with the ODB/control + wire to manually allow me to turn off the ambient lights if I want to.

Yes, pin 16 is + and 4 is ground, and wired to the SSR like that. Just make sure the load/LEDs are on the correct side of the SSR. Mine was labeled backwards. No big deal if you do, only the LEDs will be on without the control activated.

I am definitely adding a rocker switch. Great idea! While I had the screen off, I tilted it way towards me. I am not going to do the motor thing, as I am okay leaving it this way (and too worn out). I consider the screen mainly for me, and if my wife wants to channel surf, etc, she can suffer through it.
Thinking the switch, I guess it does not matter whether we attach it to the OBD or the main power, right?

Switch can go between the wire coming from the ODB pin 16 and the controllers +ve power leads right at the console
