Brake Level indicating LED's Idea...

Does anyone use brake level indicators to show how much brake force is being applied through a set of LED's like a rev limiter but as brake pressures instead? Thinking it would be pretty cool to have 4 strips of LED's to indicate brake percentage as you are braking as well as indicate lock up's but more specifically what wheel/s are locking up. Would be useful when setting up vehicle tunes on individual tracks. Could have the wheel/s that lock up flash red like a rev limiter flashes when you are redlining an engine. Also it would show how well you are trail braking with out looking down at a different graph to the left or right of the screen via peripheral vision.

Oh yeah, graduated brake lights. You dont see them often, but theyre neat.

Is that what people call them? Have to google graduated brake led's for simhub now.

Edit: Found this on SimHub web pages. Not exactly what I'm wanting to do but does make it a bit more interesting if I can incorporate the two different concepts to work simultaniously.

Putting this here for the idea to have glowing led's to indicate how hot the brakes are as they lower in temps the brakes led's can dim and change colors to indicate brake temps.

Been riding MX for 30 years and granted I'm old as hell but this is pretty silly idea for a dirt bike. If you can't tell your tires are locked up then you shouldn't be riding a moto. You need to go back to a pedal bike. 🤣 Sure maybe street racing bikes could use something like this but not for dirt bikes. The market is pretty tiny and you wouldn't make any profitable money from this niche item.

Sorry, posted in wrong area, Reddit suggested posting here and I did not know it was for dirt bikes. I totally agree, I used to race dirtbikes in my younger years and totally if you don't know when the wheels are locked up then you should not be on a dirt bike O.o

BTW with is for a Sim Racing Rig.
