Swedish company Innoware Development has launched a vehicle smart lighting system, designed to enable the simple installation of aftermarket auxiliary lights. Consisting of an ‘XBB Dongle’ and ‘XBB PowerUnit’, the solution can be fitted without any modifications to the vehicle’s original electrical setup by using Bluetooth LE wireless connectivity provided by Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52832 SoC.
Once the user has installed aftermarket lights to their vehicle, they are connected to the XBB PowerUnit which is in turn connected to the car’s battery. Meanwhile, the XBB Dongle is plugged into the vehicle’s OBD2 port. Both devices integrate the ISP1507-AX module from Insight SiP, which is based on Nordic’s nRF52832 SoC. The module provides Bluetooth LE connectivity between the XBB PowerUnit and the XBB Dongle, as well as between the dongle and the ‘XBB Configurator’ app on the user’s smartphone.
From the app the user can download vehicle specific settings or ‘recipes’ and configure preferred signals for controlling the lights through the vehicle’s existing controls. The app includes a dashboard to toggle the lights on and off, and provides statistics such as restarts and ignition time. Users can also update the system firmware via the app.
