Hello!
This is my first post on this forum, however, I thought I'd say hello and introduce myself...
My name is Karl and I'm an electrical engineer by trade, electronics has always been a hobby of mine, although never had the opportunity to make it a living!
I'm currently building an AC Cobra clone, and this is where my project begins, and would like a bit of suggestion as to where to start!
One project I would like to do is faded cockpit lighting. When the sidelights are on, the cockpit lighting to go half brightness, then when the door opens, the cockpit lighting goes full brightness, door closes, half brightness. If the sidelights are off, the lights fade to off.
Would I have to use a PIC or AVR? The fading bit would probably involve some PWM...
Any help would be muchly appreciated!
Regards,
Karl
