Just my own DIY controller project. Arduino based PWM controller.
The remote for some reason has been full of range issues but the rotary encoder has been dependable.
I don't use the built in PWM on the arduino because at 18Khz it got into the intercoms and was very noisy. I manually modulate it at 1 hertz.
The digital display is gone because if it got the briefest interruption in the data line it was screwed up until the arduino did a restart.
After multiple variations the addressable LEDs have been running for 2 years now without trouble. The signal lights are an input to the controller so I programmed it to drop the output to 25% of its setting while signalling because you are usually stopped at the time.
Right now the output linear but next time I have the seat off I think I will change it back to logarithmic because I like it better.
