System Overview

Multi-zone automotive lighting control built for custom interiors.

The Terra Vertex RGB Controller is developed for advanced vehicle lighting projects where independent zones, stable power behavior and future expandability matter.

16 Independent Zones

Designed for separate control of multiple LED areas throughout the vehicle interior and cargo space.

Automotive Power Logic

Developed around real 12V vehicle behavior, including voltage drops, engine-off timing and protection logic.

Physical Interface

Supports a separate control panel concept with buttons and status LEDs for practical everyday use.

Core Features

Designed as a real product, not just an LED experiment.

Per-zone Control

Each output channel is intended to operate as a separate lighting zone with independent behavior.

Voltage Protection

The system concept includes undervoltage protection and recovery behavior to protect the vehicle battery.

Service Headroom

Normal operation can be limited below maximum output, leaving service-level headroom for testing and calibration.

App Direction

The controller is planned around an Android interface for effects, zones, brightness and future configuration options.

Prototype Ready

The page is prepared for real board photos, installation images and testing updates as the prototype arrives.

Future Expansion

The platform can later support vehicle signal integration, lighting profiles and additional control logic.

Applications

Built for serious custom vehicle lighting projects.

Interior Ambient Lighting

Dashboard, door cards, footwells, rear panels and center console lighting.

Audio Builds

Trunk installations, amplifier areas, subwoofer spaces and show-focused lighting layouts.

Prototype Vehicles

Ideal for testing new lighting concepts before adapting the system for broader production.

FAQ

Common questions about the RGB Controller.

Is it ready for sale?

Not yet. The controller is currently in prototype and testing phase.

How many zones?

The current product direction is based on 16 independent lighting zones.

Is it only for cars?

The first version is automotive-focused, but the platform may later be adapted for interiors and display installations.
