C125 Headlight Flash

Postby fdv99 on Mon May 06, 2024 1:44 am

I feel like this should be possible, but I am struggling to figure it out right now. I have a C125 in a car, but no PDM. I would like to use one of the outputs to trigger a relay or interrupt the headlights for a flash/warning to other drivers in an upcoming 24 hour race. I tried with a user condition, but havent been able to figure that out yet. My goal is to press a button I already have wired to the C125, and flash the headlights about 4 times. I feel like the button should trigger a condition, and that condition trigger the output 4 times every 0.5 seconds for a short time, but I am just having trouble implementing it. Any ideas are appreciated.

You should be able to use combination of a timer and user condition.
Try the below.

Timer Settings
Start timer = Your Button
Sequence = Count Up
Limit = 4.0s
Enable Start setting = 0s

User Condition
Type = Momentary
Activate Conditions
1. Timer 1 >=0.5s and Timer 1 <= 1s
2. Timer 1 >=1.5s and Timer 1 <= 2s
3. Timer 1 >=2.5s and Timer 1 <= 3s
4. Timer 1 >=3.5s and Timer 1 <= 4s

Output Channel = Your Headlight output.

This should flash your lights 4 times for half a second each time.
You can adjust the flash times as needed.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you, Anthony.

That makes sense and I will give that a try.
