Summary

Schematic for my Rear Bike Light, using 2 High power LEDs and an embedded ATmega328p with the Arduino boot loader to control the LEDs via PWM thru two N-channel MOSFET current sinks. It's also programable via the FTDI headers included.


Description

Schematic for my rear bike light. See my blog post for details.

It uses 2 High power LEDs and an embedded ATmega328p with the Arduino boot loader to control the LEDs via PWM thru two N-channel MOSFET current sinks. For more info on High Power LEDs and building good drivers without shelling out the money on pre-made "buck type converters" read Dan Goldwater's excellent Instructable here: Circuits for using High Power LEDs

I am tired of trying to get the code to look right in this description window so I have it posted on my blog here: New code for rear bike light
