I wish the BlueGhozt controller could be updated to make the turn signal inputs fully customizable and not just limited to turn signal animations. What I mean is, for example my interior lighting. When you turn the headlights on at night, the parking light input is used to have my interior strips do a startup animation then stay on blue. I'd like to be able to do the same when a door is opened/dome light turned on, to have them animate to white, then animate back to blue when Door shut/dome light turned off. Even take a step further and do an animation to indicate when the Ignition is turned on/vehicle started. (Just the animation, but not staying on steady afterwards)
I am very impress this is all done on 1 strip of leds, I am currently working on my own dyi headlight project, that have 2 RGB halos rings, 1 RGB demon eye in the projector lens and 1 SRGBA turn signal / daytime running light per 1 headlamp housing. i bought some SRGBA LEDs from Misun Auto plus halo rings and demon eyes which came with the sp105e magic controller and i am now thinking this controller seam to be way better controller, if it can run all my leds. I might have to contact your company to see if its possible.
yeah that should be doable, our controller supports up to 350 LEDs on each of its 2 outputs, and you can chain any number of strips/halos together along this output. You can then configure how many LEDs are in each strip and then pick which ones are enabled for turn signals, brakes, parking lights, etc. extremely customizable!
@@ghoztlighting Thank you for the fast reply, i will email soon with a better mock up design on my plans to get your opinion if I am going in the right direction and if your controller will work for me, which i believe it will. thanks for your time.
*Can you hook up those 1 watt Power LEDs with blue ghozt? If yes how many? I see two JST connections. But are there those individual connections available? 28 channel type?* *think these neo pixel strips look bright in the dark only. But in daytime do they look too faint???*
I see 4 inputs for the module parking, break, turn, reverse. But my car has a rear fog lamp that is integrated in the tail lamp. So tail lamp has 5 bulbs parking, break, turn, reverse....and fog so how would one enable a fog lamp?
What are you using to send power to the 4 inputs? (2 Turn signals, running lights, and brake lights) Trying to find a clean way to power headlights and test signals with a flip of a switch.
Hey, it's been a while since someone last asked this question? But, I want too purchase the Neopixels for my car? Where would I go to purchase the one that are shown in this video?

Can I run a rgbw ws2812b neopixle strip on this controller and get turn signal and pure white drl or do I have to run the adafruit neopixle digital rgbw to get these functions
Where can I contact u regarding when turn my headlights on (low beam) the halos and eyebrows pulse when I turn off the headlights they stop also when I lets say I have 88 led in one headlight I reduce it to 76 and then turn my headlights on they don’t pulse
Can you run any adressable rgb led that's says it is ws2811 or is it specific to the neopixel. Just ordered the plus and I already have a bunch of 144 led strips.
If I where to have tail lights that a full matrix but each column and row aren't gonna have the same amount of LEDs would this still work with it? Thanks.
In need of help. If we had hyperflash before installing do we need to install resistors to make this work better? Also, i connected the left turn signal, had power and both strips turned on
Yeah you will still need load resistors like normal. We couldn't include them on the board because they produce so much heat. Regarding which strips turn on for what function, you'll need to configure that in the app first for it to work how you want.
@@ghoztlighting update. I added my resistors, i connect to the app for left turn signal, on app it shows the right turn signal is activated. Then i look at my headlights and both aides are on? Any idea or help. Tjanks a lpt
What’s up man I’m thinking of buying NEOPRISM-X strips and this Bluetooth controller, is there any wiring I have to tap into my turn signals for the strips to do switchback function so everytime I hit my turn signal they flash orange and then once it’s off go back to the color it was on ?

You can do this with the BlueGhozt plus with the additional 12v power switched

*Also can you tell what is the ampeage on the blughost module output. 12v i know... but what is the max amprage output for those jst connectors?*
What did you use to generate the turn signals

Can this do start up animations like the original ghozt

How do I save my led strips settings so after I disconnect from power 12v my config will stay on the controller ?
Which pixels are these in the video, apologies if asked that before
Hey, it's been a while since someone last asked this question?
But, I want too purchase the Neopixels for my car?
Where would I go to purchase the one that are shown in this video?
So can you use the module for the hole car. Or just front and back
I have the BlueGhozt controller but don't know how to test the turn signals. What is the turn signal generator that you mentioned?

Neopixel is just Adafruit's brand name, you can use any addressable LEDs

Yeah, you just tap into the turn signal wires.
When using the 5v halo/strips. Do i only need one 12v-5v converter for all halo/strips? Say i have 6 units, i still only need the one converter?
it depends on how many amps you are running. we have both 10 and 20 amp converters, but yes you only use one
@@danielevans5431 Ah, get it. Thanks :)
Are those 144/m or 60/m led strip?
Those are 144/m
So I run one 12v wire to my led turn signal and I get cool stuff?
If your taillight has Neopixel-style LEDs already installed, then definitely! If not then you would need a custom build

how many individual strips can you control with this unit?
If you use a splitter, you can control as many as you have wired up power for. If you connect them end to end, each channel controls 350 pixels.
@@danielevans5431 yeah but they will be on the same signal wire, right?
not sure what you mean by signal wire
@@danielevans5431 the LED strips have positive negative and signal wires
@@mertcapkin7263 that's known as the data line. Each channel can control up to 350 LEDs lengthwise, if you use a splitter you can have more but they will do identical things as each other since it is the same data signal.
How can I control 4 strips from blueghozt?
You can control up to 350 LEDs per output (2) for 700 total, on any number of strips and halos. You connect them end to end.
Lighting Trendz sells a version of the Blueghozt that they'll customize with up to 8 outputs.
@@imdbtruth they use a splitter, it's the same number of outputs just some mirror each other.
@@ghoztlighting Are you saying that their version has the same two JST style LED connectors coming out of the unit, but then they use a JST splitter?
@@imdbtruth yeah it's the same Blueghozt unit nothing technically different, just wired up differently.
Have you used the neopixel/addressable LEDs as brake lights? I'd like to convert my tail lights to all neopixel but I'm concerned about brightness
