Dynamic Fog Light

This is how it works:

The module has a built in accelerometer. And so depending on how hard you break, the fog lamp will react differently. It is fully programmable, but at the moment, it does the following:

Very gentle breaking or holding the break while stationary: The fog lamp is OFF , but of course your actual break lights will turn on and are unaffected.

Light breaking: The rear fog lamp will come on with half brightness.

Moderate breaking: The rear fog lamp will come on with full brightness.

Heavy breaking: The rear fog lamp will blink at 3Hz and full brightness.

Currently, the firmware supports the above conditions. But the module is capable of doing more. It has a three dimensional accelerometer, so it can also detect up/down and left/right movements. Other things like logging your acceleration for a trip can also be implemented.
