I'm trying to build a strobe light that has at least 1 mode that can sync with another unit.
The strobe light has 2 colors, white and red which are driven by 2 qlite drivers which are controlled by an ATtiny13a processor.
The strobe light will be used on an ultralight aircraft. I want the ability to have the lights sync, so if there are a few aircraft flying, each strobe would be in sync and creating a better chance of being seen as a collective.
The easiest way to see this is from obstruction lights on windfarms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb7MWrBEZjU They are mandated by FAA to be in sync. I believe they achieve this by matching internal processor clock speeds with the GPS clock data.
Or could I use a Real Time Clock to time the processors together?
If I'm already using Qlite flashlight drivers which use ATtiny13 chips, is there any way I can get the different lights to sync?
The body is a standard flashlight body.
Thanks in advance,
