Tesla Light Show: Custom Show Creation

[shreyas.suresh]

Hey TMC,

We're the Tesla Body Controls Firmware Team; we’re the folks that make electronic features on Teslas open, close, move, light up, etc!

We created the Tesla Light Show feature for Software V11.0.
Blog, Instagram

For Light Show, we've also created a way for *anyone* to create their own Light Shows, no Tesla vehicle required. Shows are created using xLights, free open-source software.

We're so excited to see what you come up with!

GitHub - teslamotors/light-show: Tesla Light Show

And if this type of work interests you, we're hiring.

Hey Tesla BC, Any inputs on how I can extract the seq data from an .fseq file and map it to the Tesla light channel block in Xlights? Thanks!

Help needed please. I've made a couple of lightshows before and they work great. However today I loaded up xlights and opened a saved sequence and the 3d model no longer displays an lights when the sequence is playing. I can't seem to find any setting that has changed this. Any ideas? To be clear it was working prior and the partly finished sequence works on the Tesla. I can't finish it without seeing if the lights are in time with the music. Thanks.

Try rebooting the car - not sure it will help, but it might?

Thanks for your reply, however it wasn't a car issue it was the app xlights. I managed ti fix by copying the time markers and the lights to a new project.

I have long awaited one of you “smart with software” people to crack the editing for the projector lamps. Would be Very cool to have it write out other things other than Tesla.

It's likely that the TESLA pattern is built into the car's software that runs the light show. If so, there wouldn't be any commands that could be sent to change the pattern.
