External status light on CCM #6

Open mtfunder opened 1 month ago

What's wrong

Without opening the enclosure or checking to see if the Wi-Fi network is broadcasting, there isn't an easy way to tell if the system is currently powered on or running.

What done looks like

A design and hardware selection for adding this light.
All parts added to PartsBox
Confluence page describing how it will work and how to install.
Confirmation from the @alexrallen that embedded can add this feature on the software side.

Additional Information

Be sure the external hardware is IP67 or better.
Bright enough to see in daylight from the tractor cab.
@Djyankencsu can help with figuring out how the SMB Pico could control the LED.
Investigate if the SMB Aux header can be used for this.

Best IP67 options so far https://veise2008.en.made-in-china.com/product/IZyAskMlZJGP/China-IP69K-Waterproof-Beacon-Warning-Lamp-Light-for-Emergency-Vehicle.html
