Introduction
This project is an enhancement on existing brake light configurations on cars, specifically the third brake light. This usually consists of an array of red LEDs placed higher on the back of the vehicle, to be more in the viewing range of the driver behind the car. This way he can react more quickly if the car in front brakes, therefore helps prevent collisions and helping in general road safety. In more "expensive" cars, if the car brakes firlmy, the third brake light flashes fast to attract even more attention from the person driving behind.
This project is used as a driver for the brake light to measure deceleration and, when over a certain level, let the brake light blink.
