The bare PCB for the OSL board can be purchased from OSH Park: Open Source RC Lights v1.7 Alternatively, since this is an open source project, you are free to take the Eagle files posted on the text/html 2021-04-09T15:55:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://openpanzer.org/wiki/doku.php?id=wiki:otherprojects:osl:install&rev=1617983746&do=diff Compile Firmware in Arduino IDE First you will need to install the Arduino IDE on your computer, you can download it from here.

Even better, the YeahRacing LEDs come with current-limiting resistors already installed in the cable so you don't need to include them on the board (in which case you can just jumper across the resistor position on the board with a small piece of wire). Other brands that work are 3… text/html 2021-04-08T01:18:33+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://openpanzer.org/wiki/doku.php?id=wiki:otherprojects:osl:radio&rev=1617844713&do=diff Radio Setup The Radio Setup routine is where we teach the OSL each channel's min, max and center points. It should be performed with any new model after you have trimmed the car. Assuming you don't change the trim/subtrim on your radio it only needs to be done once per model. You can upload new light settings to your controller as many times as you want and your radio settings will remain unchanged. text/html 2021-04-09T01:06:32+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://openpanzer.org/wiki/doku.php?id=wiki:otherprojects:osl:resources&rev=1617930392&do=diff Resources * RC Groups Discussion Thread * Download firmware and board design files * Firmware also available on GitHub text/html 2025-05-24T19:55:20+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://openpanzer.org/wiki/doku.php?id=wiki:otherprojects:osl:sketch&rev=1748116520&do=diff Modifying the Sketch Once you open the sketch in the Arduino IDE you will see several tabs along the top.

Each light output can be made to do something in response to multiple conditions, or States. These are:
