- Here's my complete start to finish, beginner friendly, build guide to making your own F1 style sequential shift light for your car. This video guides you step-by-step how to build the circuit and create a fully functional LED shift light with individually addressable RGB lights. Perfect for a race car, or to impress your girlfriend when out for a Friday night cruise!

Bonjour, je suis français, merci pour ta présentation, j'ai réalisé un projet aussi, j'ai deux problèmes, ton branchement ne correspond pas au schéma ? Pin 2 et 6 sur le schéma, Pin 2 et 5 sur le code ARDUINO, je m'en suis rendu compte, lorsque je connectes la carte sur l'alimentation le code fonctionne, merci, mais moi je souhaite équiper ma moto avec ce shift light, est ce que c'est possible ? J'ai branché le signal sur le CDI mais ca ne marche pas, tu aurais une idée ??
Merci à toi
Hello, I am French, thank you for your presentation, I also carried out a project, I have two problems, your connection does not correspond to the diagram? Pin 2 and 6 on the diagram, Pin 2 and 5 on the ARDUINO code, I realized this, when I connect the card to the power supply the code works, thank you, but I want to equip my motorcycle with this shift light, is this possible? I connected the signal to the CDI but it doesn't work, do you have any ideas??
Thanks to you
What a great project! Again, well presented. I've never played with arduinos, but that's my loss. Thanks Brendan.
Glad you enjoyed it!
For years I've been looking to do this and I've spent countless hours looking for something like this. I appreciate what you did. I checked your inspiration videos and yours is clearer.
Thank you and much appreciated.
PS! I will definitely be getting all components asap
Glad you liked it!
Great content. Just used your code to build a shift light for my mini, made a couple of changes to the code for dimming with headlights and an ecu warning light where they all turn yellow if there is an issue.
Nice work!
about to attempt the same thing, just interested where did you get the rpm signal from?
You definitely going to have to do gear shift indicator also.
Good call! Would take a little bit more effort as my car doesn't have an easy way to detect current gear.
Hello! Nice work on the car. Looks clean.
So I’ve followed this build but made some changes to the code to compensate for 16 LEDs. I think I got it right but when I power the unit up, I get constant white leds. Any ideas?
If anyone else comes across this issue, I switched to D2 and the boot up sequence seems to work. I am using the Nano, so perhaps that will make a difference.Will report back.
Do you think it's possible to use a mini buck converter instead of the 5v regulator?
I've got them and I as thinking to use them with the pnp transistor because when looking at the diagram the transistor receives a common gnd and if I'm not mistaken rpm gets filterd through it to scale down voltage with the resistors going in and out.
The way I'm understanding it is that the arduino needs 5v and rpm signal must be 5v so by stepping down voltage into arduino it should be safe?
I've got 5 arduino nanos so I'll give it a shot, on the plus side it's less wiring.
I'm not skilled enough with electronics to say 100% for sure - but I don't see why you couldn't use a mini buck converter in place of the 5v regulator.
