Has anyone tried to implement an simple "breaking" light on VESC firmware?
I'm working on a onewheel now, and was thinking about having ws2812b on te front and on the back, illuminating them accordingly, and changing intensity to have a "breaking" light.
Hello everyone,
I did some more research, and I actually found a video and a firmware that Benjamin made using ws2811 for breaking lights and turn signals, the firmware name is VESC_ws2811.bin.
But, i noticed looking the source code that you can't use Hall sensors if the leds are enabled.
I'm gonna keep studing the source code and see if I can figure it out.... I "need" to have both hall sensors and leds enabled, but no idea if it is possible.
Hey, have you figured out how to do this?

Hi,
Yes, using an Arduino and the VESC Uart communication, you can achieve a brake light system.
See here for an example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvjXEg_Xbv8
Hi,
I am trying to achieve the same stuff and I also want to keep hall sensors.
I am trying to control the ws2812b leds with the GPIOB 5 pin (ppm pin normally) but without success so far.
Have you find a way vitormhenrique?
I've completed a arduino and mpu6050 set up that uses ws2818 leds for a passive brake light setup. Currently working on field testing. Here is the Gethub node. :

Old thread but I have a nice working system that uses an arduino, a quality buck, and some off-the-shelf LEDs to do smart brake lighting by reading current + RPM and using negative Current to indicate when braking is really happening: https://github.com/readysetawesome/VESCSmarterBrakes/tree/main
The project includes 3d files for the custom enclosure you see here, which bolts directly to Lacroix Hypertrucks:
