Hello all,
I am looking to build a trailer light tester that can be powered by a Makita 18V battery.
The tester should cycle through the brake lights, running lights, and blinkers when it is turned on. I have done a little research and have come up with a list of parts, but I wanted to run it by the community to ensure that I have everything I need. Or if someone has another idea as I am a novice.
Here is the list of components that I have come up with:
Voltage regulator: LM7805
Battery adapter: Keystone 248
Microcontroller: Arduino Uno or ATtiny85
LEDs: Red LEDs for brake lights, amber LEDs for blinkers, and white LEDs for running lights
Resistors: 220 ohm resistors for the LEDs
Transistors: NPN and PNP transistors
Do you see any issues with this list of components? Are there any other parts that I should consider? Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
