DIY Truck Sound & Light Controller: TAMIYA 3 Speed Transmission Auto Synchronization!

In this video: The awesome TAMIYA King Hauler on a bench test. It’s equipped with my Arduino ESP32 sound & light controller, as well as with my Arduino based 2.4GHz remote.
This test is demonstrating the new TAMIYA 3 speed transmission synchronisation, which was added in SW Version 2.9

Light & sound controller features & improvements, compared with old version for ATmega328P:
better sound quality, sampling rate up to 22’050Hz, instead of 16’000
Multiple sounds can play simultaneously
real DAC outputs, no R/C filter circuit required
easier sound file conversion thanks to bitlunis conversion tool (link down below)
the variable speed engine sound can play at the same time as an additional sound with fixed speed (a horn or a siren for example)
more sounds in better quality available
special sounds included like: „Martinshorn“ fire truck horn, US Police siren, Swiss post bus horn, train horn, car horn, MAN TGA truck horn
Engine sounds for: Land Rover Defender V8, ford Mustang, Chevy Nova, Dodge Challenger, MG B GT V8, LaFerrari, V8 Trophy Truck, Scania V8, Ural V8, Kenworth, Detroit Diesel etc.
Air brake sounds
Output for vibrating motor, which simulates engine vibrations
Vehicle inertia simulation (if crawler type ESC is connected to pin 33)
Virtual clutch, making the engine sound much more realistic (if crawler type ESC is connected to pin 33)
Many light functions like headlight, tale light, brake light, indicators, blue light, foglight, sidelights
4 RC servo signal inputs
13 light outputs
PPM communication
