The vehicle lighting controller is finally finished and working! I learned a lot about board design and I am already planning improvements for a next version.

The lighting controller is nearly done! I fitted LEDs into door handles and speakers, figured out the headlight switch wiring, and built the enclosures.

I spent a couple of days sniffing CAN bus data on my car and figured out how instrument brightness, media controls, and lighting are communicated.

My under-dash LED strips finally fell apart, so I started planning a full RGB lighting controller for the car with ten LED channels and five EL channels.

Spent a quiet afternoon getting a stepper motor running with a microcontroller. Had it working pretty quickly, and added a wooden duck for good measure.

I etched, drilled, and soldered a proper PCB for the SmartHorn project. The board turned out a bit messy with jumper wires, but it works great!

I built a little prototype that lets you program custom horn functions for your car. Two buttons, a microcontroller, and a lot of fun!

I built a full-sized arcade cabinet out of maple with colour-changing buttons, a coin slot, and an ATtiny4313 controller that manages the whole thing!
