#1 | Another arduino functionality added to my RS: cornering lights datum

Sun Jan 05, 2020 10:26 pm

hi to all

as most of you, I noticed the OEM lights could be not sufficient during the night or cornering. To fix the first problem I installed a couple of auxiliary LED lights just inside the fairing in front the radiator. They are spot and have a deep light beam.
For cornering, the problem was a bit more difficult. As you know some bikes have the cornering lights. I studied to find the right algorithm to realize it. Finally I got it. I installed an additional couple of led light with a flood beam and they are switched on only when the bike is cornering. The system in managed by arduino and if some is interested I can share the code, hardware and wiring as already I did with my dynamic brake light and GPS tracker with emergecy functions.

A separate article with a link would be interesting to some.

Folagana you are a bloody genius!!!

I thought I knew enough to get along in the 21st century, but now I think I don't.😥

I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

Can you post up some pics or a short video ?
If that's a bit technical for you, I can help

tomorrow I'll come back to work :(

so, If I will be able, I'll post some pictures of the light and components as soon as I can. I'll try do a video showing the cornering light working. Perhaps, it will take time...

@Alda I'm writing a brief guideline to help cloning this project.

In general, it seems complicated but It is not. A basic knowledge of programming, electronic and electric is sufficient to do everything. I'm a chemical engineer, not electronic!

Nope, you're over qualified in the IQ department for that job based on current evidence

The first video shows automatic turn on of the spot lights once the engine is running.
You will see the cornering lights turing on automatically....

In the second video you should take care about the windscreen....
in this video I turn on the spot lights manually
