Brake Light Switch: Notes

Similar to previous models an electronic brake-light switch (Hall-sensor) is used. It is powered from KL R ON. Its signal is provided as an analog input.

The brake switch has a level of 0 volts in the non-actuated state and approx. 8 -- 9 volts when the brake is depressed (dependent on the system voltage).
