Shopping for Jeep mods for Mother's Day and had an idea. I want to add LED strips inside my wife's Jeep for courtesy lights, but those control boxes and remotes are so damn chincy. I would like to add a switch panel with rockers to control some other items and it led me down this path...
Controlling accessories via Arduino board. Operating power from accessory, wake signal from dome light power, 3 2 pole rockers for inputs - cycle color, dimmer, and override dome.
I've only found a couple examples on the internet but one guy was reading the CAN BUS and kicking off accessories as if the Arduino was 2nd BCM rather than tapping existing circuits.
I've never messed with these things and there isn't enough time to get this done by Sunday, but a project I'll throw 50 bucks at this summer and see how it goes.
