need pointed in the right direction, if my project is possible

Former Member

I am newer to arduino, but i have some programming on it. I am a firefighter and want to create a light bar.

I am hoping that this project is possible for a near future completion date.

The project includes:

 

Arduino uno for pattern design and such. looking to use up to 16 3w LED from cree. its a small bar so nothing too much.

microelectronics to supplement the arduino for power as external power, step up if you will.

Bluetooth to turn lights on/off, hi voltage (3w for day use) low (1.5 for night use), change patterns.

solar panel (to create a self contained power (no wire running anywhere)

android app to control all the bluetooth

 

i could just buy a $400 lightbar but this would def be great if this is possible.

Please point me in the right direction on what to look at or such.

 

TIA

 

Matthew

    Since we will be receiveing the data through the module and then in turn sending it to the arduino board we only need to use the TX pin on the module. Run a wire from that pin to the RX pin on the arduino board. The Led is controlled through PIN 2 on the arduino.
