• Mouned StarBar16 Tube

Simply connect the RPM Input wire to a 0-12V wave signal (RPM signal) from your vehicles ECU or aftermarket ignition system. Requires a switched +12V power supply. In some instances you can tap your stock tachometer RPM signal or ignition coil. Each application will be different, so do your research to find out which approach is best for you.

I bet some are you saying "finally!" It has taken a while, but it's here: Version 3.1 of the shift light. I poured through emails and forums posts and added the features most requested. 

For a limited time- the first kits are ON SALE $20 OFF.  But act soon, as soon as I get my large supply of circuit boards in, the prices will resume. 

Assembled $169.99 as before. 
Unassembled $84.99

The cost increase on the unassembled is due to the increased number of parts to support the new features. Users can now benefit from having an outside-to-center animation. That makes four total animations (left-to-right, right-to-left, center-out, and out-to-center). Delivered via upgraded LEDs!  The old WS2812B LEDs required demanding timing protocols for communication - actually interrupting the sensitive RPM calculations! These new LEDs improve responsiveness and eliminate some of the 'glitches' users would see from time-to-time. 

You'll also notice a new display. That's a neat OLED display - with improved menu system, option setting screens, more information, and status icons while running.  However, the most significant improvements come from the RPM sensing circuitry and power management. 

The old circuit relied on a directly connected transistor to sample the RPM signal. The new circuit is diode-protected and optically-isolated. This results in reduced noise, improved pickup response, and improved protection. The shift light is now totally isolated from your vehicles electronics and vice-versa. New power protection and a dedicated power regulator for the AMTEL chipset adds superior protection and noise elimination - taking the reliability and accuracy to new levels. 

To make all this happen, I had to seriously overhaul major sections of code. It didn't take long before I hit  (then exceeded) the program space on the AMTEL chip. The animation algorithms were totally stripped and re-written. A few menu items were removed and libraries were optimized. I had to save basically 20% of program space through redundancy checks and some good 'ol fashioned math. 

Quality assurance and testing was carried out extensively. Not only did I scope nearly all inputs and outputs, but I also subjected the development units to different noise scenarios, power overloads, erratic signals, misconnections, and interruptions. The new circuitry performed admirably - detecting and accurately reporting signals down to 10% duty cycle and even AC signals +/- 15VDC. 

Thanks again for the amazing community of dedicated enthusiasts from all makes, brands, models, and walks of life. This wouldn't be possible without you!

Stay tuned
