Hardware and software to recreate the iconic scanner bar from KITT.
The intention of this project is to create the following:

- Should turn off on signal (car started or headlights turned on, for safety / compliance)
The current implementation uses a Raspberry Pi Pico as controller and connects the LEDs to individual GPIO pins. LEDs are either on or off, currently there's no fading trail following the on-LEDs.
First test, without fixating the LEDs (the wave is not intended):
