Ultimate Knight Rider Modem Hack

Aaron Newcomb/ September 4, 2020/ Arduino, How-To

On a recent video I show you how I hacked a US Robotics Courier modem to look and sound a bit more like KITT from the Knight Rider TV series.

The project used an Arduino Pro Mini to drive the LEDs on the modem and a DFPlayer module to play some fun sounds.

This project was pretty easy to do and should be able to be adapted to other old technology that uses LEDs so you can make it look like it is running even though it’s not really. You just need to use the right resistors to make sure you are not feeding too much voltage into the LEDs which may burn them out. I have done similar projects before like this Instructable I did on making a holiday soundbox.

Here is the link to download the code I used for the Arduino Pro Mini.
