Knight Rider

scrpn17w

This is my build thread of turning my 1999 Honda Prelude into an emulation of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) from the TV series "Knight Rider". There is going to be a lot of buttons, switches and various indicator lights. I'll add a small screen in the car for both interfacing with the Pi and displaying various data/Images/Videos. Then of course there are the 3 most recognizable traits of the car: The LED "scanner" on the front of the car, the unmistakable voice from the "AI" of the car, and the LED "visualizer" of the cars AI system. Being that I won't be able to make this quite as awe inspiring as the actual KITT and the car I'm using was made in 1999 I'm going to call it the K.I.N.N. (Knight Industries Nineteen Ninety-nine).

  • I did some lay out work for a small section of on of the dash panels. I used this screenshot as a reference for my layout. image

    This was from the video Ilinked to in my original post of the KITT replica. My layout looks like image

    Where the center is what I wanted my visualizer to look like (KITT speaks, the lights flash to his voice). The side squares and bottom rectangles would all be status lights of various systems, though I may replace one of the rectangles with a digital readout that displays when a system has been activated.

     

    Inside of the "Visualizer" the blocks are all marked with D#. These numbers correspond to digital pins on an Arduino which I will use to control this subsystem. I plan on using an audio signal coming from the Raspberry-Pi as an input for this system, which will be analyzed through a Fourier transform to have the audio levels broken down. The LEDs will illuminate based on the level of the audio signal.
