I've got an interesting project I'm planning on working on!
I want to use a Raspberry Pi as a switch that turns my vehicle's turn signals off past a certain MPH.
The Vehicle is a 1965 VW Bug and has Semaphore turn signals. I attached a picture below showing them (found off internet). The reason for this project is anything past 40 they tend to bend back and break. (Don't worry the car still has regular blinkers besides the turn signals)
I figure I can make some type of switch using a Raspberry Pi and a GPS. So I'm looking for some guidance on how I should go about this!
