12W motorcycle flasher

hi

i must design build and make the C code for a very flasher for the assignment project.

It must operated at 12W as the blinking frequency of the led is reduced to the standard value.

what ucontroller will be fast enought for this code? will the mcs51 be fast enough or will the arm be fast enough? which will be good to do the 12W? ARM is low power and i think it will not do 12W.

regards
mitsus

  • Actually, "watts" is very commonly used when discussing lamps - especially incandescent lamps.

    But (over here, at least) 12W is an odd value for a vehicle mandatory lamp - "bright" lights like turn signals are 21W; tail lamps and other "not bright" lamps are 5W.

    Then again, he may well not be talking about such "mandatory" lamps...

    But there is, as you said, a fair suspicion that he meant 12V rather than 12W.

    "the OP will have to come back and elaborate"

    I won't be holding my breath!
