Just curious, why not the nano and the sensor? I mean the software is plug and play. You can use Siri voice commands to power it on

This looks so cool, is this storage only? or also cooler ? sorry for the high jacking!

Sorry for the confusion, I'm not stating that having on the headlights will make a solid non pwm signal on the OEM ambient lights. I'm stating, in my case, I would see at least an average of ~3v when I have the headlights on + ambient lights toggled on in the screen, despite of being sunny...

I did manage to have a working relay, the second one I shared This one, so this qualifies as a hardware solution only. Why I didn’t stick to that was I could not turn rgb lights unless it was dark since I did not know that having your headlights on would make the trick. That relay that I linked...

Yesterday I noticed my ambient light turned on after I turned on the headlights manually, since it was not dark enough but I was driving on a one lane-two way highway and it was required. after that I was able to control the lights with the ambient light button on the screen. So conclusion, oem...

setting the ambient lights to breathing green while charging ----------solid when done but still plugged .... ay ay ay ..... I wish I could spend more time on this.

I briefly read, the CAN is a standard bus with standard baud rate, reading from it should not be complex, decoding it might, as the data packets can be encoded in a proprietary way. There might be public databases from already known components, none the less this would be a very deep dive into a...

I am powering with 16V via barrel connector, no need to use the buck, as the model I have supports up to 24 V. I been given homework by @vcor !!! Thanks, better hobby than being ranked number 2 world wide in a fighting video game. Finding the way to decode the CAN must prove interesting!

Hi, due to my code relying mostly on ArduinoBLE library I BELIEVE any of these boards should work: Arduino MKR FOX 1200 Arduino MKR GSM 1400 Arduino MKR NB 1500 Arduino MKR VIDOR 4000 Arduino MKR WAN 1300 (LoRa connectivity) Arduino MKR WAN 1310 Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 Arduino MKR ZERO (I2S bus...

updated the code with some enhancement as when I installed due to the PWM I saw readings of 0 and this can trigger the lights flickering, in the car I coded a loop for averaging the reads and that solved the problem. Project completed!

One more post with all the information: PLEASE NOTE: this will ONLY work if you have a generic ELK-BLEDOM rgb controllers like the ones @Proppilot recommended. List of materials: Arduino R4 Wifi Dupont cables Voltage Sensor wiring the sensor to the arduino: from the 3 pins on the sensor: +...

here is my code: github This should be publicly accessible. I will work on a tutorial over the weekend. Arduino can be powered with a barrel connector or usb, I read that with usb bluetooth module from time to time doesn't start well. needing a recycle so I will go with the same source that...

TLDR: You hook it into a usb, then open a program like word, edit very few lines hopefully one or two, ideally none, click a button and voiala. Long version: using arduino IDE select board, libraries, on a new sketch paste the code that I will share, upload the program to the arduino. I will...

I will absolutely share my code. Ill be sure to document it.

Good news! after several hours because of some poor documentation, I am able to power ON/OFF the rgb lights using exclusively arduino via BLE command. This approach leaves out pinging phone's bluetooth, meaning I would not rely on my phone's bluetooth for the rgbs to go on. With arduino and...

Because I’m new to microcontrollers, I have put a lot of work including learning curve for arduino and raspberry pi, tutorials help but only to some degree and despite of what theory says, having open source hardware, there are sometimes bugs that slow you down until you find a way around them...

I’ll dig into this approach, in arduino(27 bucks) I already have voltage sensor (1 dollar) working for the OEM ambient lights, I guess I could do one more voltage sensor to the obd port. When obd looses power, issue rgb power off command with arduino, and upon getting power on the obd power them...

I got the sensor working, and tested against the OEM bin light signal (PWM). I needed a A2D converter to go between the sensor and the pi. So no blockers to move forward, I also got a bash script that pings the mac address of my phone (no need to pair the pi with the phone) and when its...

I ordered some voltage sensors (5 for 6 bucks) should be in tomorrow, I should be able to wire one of them to the pi and the OEM ambient light cable. Next, I will write the scripts to read from them and issue the power on command for the lights. Additionally I plan to do a Bluetooth scan every...

I made some progress, straight forward there are command lines you can use after you install bluez package in raspberry. I am able to control the lights using Bluetooth, so now I only need to make the interface, make sure I wont fry my pi, make a script that reads the tesla ambient light input...

Im not sure if I will be able to accomplish what I envision. I have a raspberry pi already in the car since I use it with teslausb project. The pi has gpio and the elk led lights are so common that there’s already GitHub repos to control them. So my idea is to make the ambient lights somehow a...

Sharing the rerecorded non-blurred video with a better guide on how to create the shortcuts and gestures

as @vcor shared, I believe charging tray will remain on for some time after you exit and lock the car unless you have sentry mode, in which case, the charging tray keeps to receive power.

Behold Siri Voice controlled RGB lights tutorial included ;) Its gonna blur soon and I will rerecord it with no personal info available before I make it public.

Keep in mind this can change or could be different between software versions or even by regions. But fear not as I have spent couple hours figuring out how to do voice control (siri/ios only) for the lights. I will be sharing a video as soon as it gets to upload and process. With the voice...

Today was the first day I drove with the relay as I was on vacation. I noticed the driver bin light is sensitive to the lighting conditions, so if it’s sunny or too much light outside, the light won’t turn on hence the relay won’t receive the trigger.

I used one subcontroller under each seat, and one more for the console footwell with everything being powered separately, everything still behaves at the command of the main controller. So only if the main controller powers on they will power up.

I'm done with the console footwell and the lights under the seats. I used these lights after splitting them and soldered an individual connector to each of them (did this to the two kits I had). for the console footwell, I snapped the trim out then disconnected the light, removed the two...

Confirmed I had issues with the yellow glue tape that came with my kits, I will have to replace it, the ones that came with a clear tape seems to be holding better. Hey guys good news, the relay is working Hooked to the driver's bin light. Its a tad bigger than the previous one but I used...

One thing I'm noticing is that the glue on the strips doesn't seem strong enough, with different kits I got different tapes, one was yellowish color super thin, not holding good for the front door, the other tape was transparent also having problems holding, I bought 3M tape but its black, so if...

One more thing I forgot to mention, 2 kits its definitely a most I ordered a different relay, just in case I got a bad one, or I messed it up when connected to the driver's foot light I wont be able to test it until Monday as I'm off to the snow next few days. Fingers crossed it will work, but...

Brief of my setup . This shows more progress with the relay as I hooked to the driver's bin light I might consider doing the under console and under seats next, but for now I'm DONE. Things I learned.... Removing the bin light connectors is tricky, specially the ones on the right hand side...

HI all, I'm currently at work so I can't post pictures (wont be able until tomorrow as I'm going to a friendly poker tourney tonight), I spent about 20 hours this weekend on the project and I do have some pointers. Footwell ambient light is always on, the brightness is what varies when you...

Half way there. 8 hours? No way, the first door is a bi*ch. second door easy!! I do have some insights that I will share tomorrow. Thanks for all the help and guidance, special thanks to @Proppilot for the details and to @vcor for the Tesla tap info, ended up getting the tap adapter and made it...

Th Thanks, I find an alternative there, as the first item once you click it shows 404 (not found) for me. I'm all set, just need to wait a bit for them to arrive.

BTW It seems ali-express took down that kit of lights you linked. I just got my kit (facepalm) I ordered the wrong one and got two tiny led bars and a controller. I used my multimeter to measure how much output each bar gets, and although some of you may already know it (and has likely been...

Hi guys I just came across this kit it seems its usb powered, some reviews claim the same, but the description is misleading as it says powered: 12v DC. thoughts? Also one question @Proppilot for the longest acrylic pipe (110) that has two connectors, does having any of them connected make it...

Sorry for the Delay my car was at service, despite on having performed an "Insulator Dash (remove and reinstall)" procedure my rattle was not fully fixed, it became less prominent as other areas of the dashboard (like behind the infotainment screen) that were also rattling stopped. The gap...

Hi, I'm not sure if its your case, but if you are pressing the brakes, or if the car is (on hold) this sound maybe expected, to verify this, you can try the same while the car is in neutral while no brakes applied. Good luck

Mine happened any season, the tape help partially and loud music helped too... but I'm not always in the mood of having loud music. I am confident I am FINALLY getting rid of this issue. I spent a lot of time figuring out and trying different solutions for it as I had not fully found the root...

For those here that have a plastic sound rattle coming from the instrument panel around the driver's air vent. I was finally able to figure it out, formerly I has stuffed some rolls of tesa tape to make pressure between the dash trim and the instrument panel cover, although this helped, it...

I don't know if it is related, but there are other threads about creaking noises because of how the seat latches are not properly insulated. The proposed solution, which I took was to use this tape on the latches, no sound since then for me. If you dig a bit on these forums you will find this...
