Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Hi Rich, I'm afraid I don't have a copy of Ian's circuit - this is a new design by me, using a programmable ATTiny85 micro for more 'logical' operations. With a toggle switch, it will turn the indicator off IF (time since turned on > x AND time since brake release > y) OR switch is off. With a push button, it will turn the indicator off IF (time since turned on > x AND time since brake release > y) OR same direction button is pressed again OR opposite direction button is pressed. Very similar to the Westfield self-cancelling indicator, but with a brake input to inhibit the off, plus the option of using with a Lucas style toggle switch. 2 Quote
TableLeg Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 You never fail to impress me Mike Me too! Watching this with interest. Quote
Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks Dave, it helps that you're easily impressed... Quote

I have a new hobby - counting indicator flashes while I drive to work! I reckon x = 12 and y = 6 sec works well - I'll probably try this and a dip switch selectable alternative of x = 15 and y = 9 sec. PCB design is finished - will order a batch for testing next... 2 Quote

I'm happy to test one if you have a spare Quote

dombanks Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 my self cancelling ones use a push button. press for one second and i think you get 3 flashes, 2 seconds its 5 flashes, and 3 seconds they stay on till you press again. tbh this needs to be more. i'm forever pressing the button so I would say your 12 flashes is probably about right. but if I read it right it will be doing 2 flashes per second which seems a bit fast.

Kingster Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I'm liking the 'brake' on option - very sensible, will be interested in this! Quote
jedm Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I don't believe your car exists, John Hah ! Look on the Classic Car Tours International facebook page for pictures! - Just got back from the Angouleme Circuit Des Ramparts trip with them. Fantastic event! About 1500 miles in total. Quote
