Well i`ve been busy again with me soldering iron, made up a ground light show for some night racing coming up at colchester (uk).

Here is the circuit i designed and used: http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c24/jbsmith1/knightridergroundlightssh...

The "PIC" chip is from this kit: http://www.rapidonline.com/productinfo.aspx?id=-1&tier1=Educational+Prod...

Here are some pics:

This is the circuit and wiring

How it fits in the NSX body shell

The PIC chip and transistors to drive the leds

Here is a vid of the finished project:

Re: VIDEO Ground lights show

Hi all, after the many nice comments I had from you guys, over the few short months I was tinkering with xmods in 2006! I thought I would pop back to let you all know my xmod gear including this ground lights kit is up on fleabay.co.uk
item No: 320334878008

It's nice to see this thread is still up, I had many hours of fun talking to you all. Just to re-fresh memories I have done a new vid as the old ones "timed out".

Re: VIDEO Ground lights show

Wow, once you start hitting high speeds with that thing, there will be a huge blurry trail of light following it in the dark.

Re: VIDEO Ground lights show

add a 3rd channel that controls a set of strobes, lol... then when you're competing with someone for 1st place, flick on the strobes and distract the hell out of the other guy. :lol:

Nope, not me.

You must see the movie Blazing Saddles, a Mel Brooks movie. Mongo is a Character in that movie.

I look nothing like the Mongo character. :wink:
