Re: 2 Ambulances, A bunch of Brickstuff LEDs! @Josh KiCad was the easiest of the apps I tried. For years I tried to learn Eagle and even Altium, but KiCad turned out to be so much more intuitive for me.…

Re: 2 Ambulances, A bunch of Brickstuff LEDs! @Josh Thanks, I'm 100% self-taught on PCB design myself-- I use KiCad and taught myself over a vacation at Christmas in 2018 by watching YouTube for like 12 hours non-stop.…

Re: LIGHTBARS! @Josh Here's a photo that may help explain how we've set these up: On the left is the "self-contained" version of the lightbar, with the chip in the center. Only two wires coming out, for power.…

Re: 2 Ambulances, A bunch of Brickstuff LEDs! @Josh Nice work! That's very similar to how our gen1 lightbars were built. The drawback for us, when making them at scale, was all the wires and the manual hand-soldering.…

Re: LIGHTBARS! @Josh I think we could. We could do either red/white/blue lights with clear tiles on top (the lights make the colors, and could change) or white lights with colored tiles on top.…
