Shift light bar C1812

Postby DynoDom on Mon Sep 25, 2023 10:31 pm

Hi

Is it possible to add a row of shift light fields to the C1812?
If yes, how?

TIA

You can add images and switch groups in based on conditions without issue. This would be triggered on conditions the same as a shift light. You can also add a pulse as part of the condition to add a flash function.

The only factor to consider is that it is not possible to make these 'lights' brighter than the background image, so you will rely on the contrast of the surrounding background to indicate it.

In practice I have found it ineffective, choosing to use semi transparent overlays for the same function in instances where an external shift light isn't implemented.
