    I have a project I want to work on and I am looking for someone knowledgeable to help me with it. I am looking for someone who has relatively extensive knowledge or experience working with LEDs and making custom boards, etc.

    If you can help just let me know. You know the rewards are worth it :p

    ha, it'd be fun to do somethin crazy with LED taillights, like rig it up to an LED bar graph driver IC so the amount of braking you apply affects the brightness and pattern.

    I've always thought that would be a great idea...the brake lights get brighter the more pressure you apply.

    Is that legal?

    Another idea would be to have a small hand held panel with 3 LED bars: (1) steering input, (2) throttle position and (3) brake pedal pressure. Could be quite useful at an SRDEC ;)

    Combine that with GPS and accelerometers and you could tell when your car is losing traction.
