The NetRc project V1.6 Light sensitive HeadLights

I’ve found out that it was really hard to drive through the camera under low light conditions. So I’ve added an LDR, two high intensity leds and a picaxe 8M to control them.

Also I’ve added a rechargable battery with a bit higher voltage so it would had longer autonomy.

As you can see the circuit is rather simple:

And so is the code:

symbol varA = b0

let dirs = %00010101

main:
checkLDR:	readadc 1,varA
if varA < 3 then LightsON'Compare command
low 0
goto checkLDR

LightsON:	high 0
goto checkLDR

Check the video of it in action:

The leds were supplied by my friend and colleague Ricardo, you can see is golf dashboard rework here
