After some time of building with styrene and brass I'd like to change to the electrics again.
I started to build a new board to give the truck a more realistic behaviour. The main features are:
- Realistic speed up and engine brake behaviour
- Realistic brake behaviour with an emergency brake
- Realistic steer behaviour depending on the speed
- Slow steering if the truck is stopped
- Automatic cruise control feature
- Heavy load - The speed and brake is more slow in the same way as it happens with a heavy load on the trailer
- Gear mode (forward, neutral, backward)
- If gear mode changes, the truck stops automatically in a realistic way
- Providing a brake light and a reversing light
- steering up to 4 steered axle in correct propotional behaviour
After that I went back to the back lights, they got their LEDs.
The center board for the back lights
The center board to spread the lights for front and back
