Rain light flashing

Postby nybimmers1 on Fri Mar 24, 2023 5:23 am

Hi ,

A change has been made to racing rule of my racing organization that requires the rain light to be steady “ON,” when the brake pedal is depressed and flashing when the brake pedal is not depressed.

Can anyone give me a hand with configuration setting ?
I have attached the PDM config file and th rain light is on output #6.

Much appreciated ,
Adrian

Here is a config that does the logic in the function FN.RAIN_LIGHT_ACTIVE. The output is now on when that function is true.

BTW I didn't see any logic to control the flashing -- does the light flash on it own? if so, this may not work, or there may be two inputs to the light, and you should switch it to the non-flashing so the PDM can do the control.

What I uploaded flashes the light at 4hz, you can change that with the on and off time parameters in the Flash setup.

What version of PDM manager are you using? I was using v1.9.1.0058. This is the latest version for download.
