They do not control Axion rock lights or Rhino 3.0 RGB+W whips. Connex Pro is our add-on board for turn signal, braking and reverse integration on the Rhino RGB system. It is designed, built and programmed in-house in Huntersville, North Carolina. Install Help Docs This board has 5 output channels: Left \/ right full-feature channel with turn signal, braking and reversing functionality.Left \/ right turn-signal-only channel that reacts only when the turn signal is activated.Pass-through channel that no trigger affects (turn signal, brake, reverse) and that simply displays the patterns and colors coming from the controller, or Patriot, S.O.S and Strobe modes. These channels let you tie each product on the vehicle to whichever channel you want. Side mirrors and halos on turn signal; front left and right rock lights on turn signal; rear rock lights on turn signal, braking and reverse — the assignment is yours. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e Patriot Mode — red \/ white \/ blue patterns.Strobe Mode — 5 strobe speeds.External and internal blinking — tie in an external turn signal module, or let the board run the blink itself.S.O.S Mode that strobes amber\/white or red\/blue across the whole system.12V outputs for left \/ right turn signal, to drive external lights through relays.Street Only Mode — switches the lights off with a flick of a switch while keeping the turn signal, reverse and braking functions live.

This product is available as part of BETA testing for our new app. Features and functionality are subject to change before final release. BETA pre-order Your lights should know what your vehicle is doing. RhinoLink is the control system in the middle of the build. It connects your Rhino RGB lighting, your vehicle’s turn, brake and reverse signals, your switch panel and your accessory relays into one system — with the free RhinoLED iOS app on top for the times you want a phone in your hand. Vehicle in. Lights and accessories out. What it reads Your vehicle 12 opto-isolated 12V inputs for turn, brake, reverse, door, switch-panel positions and any other 12V signal your build already has. What it decides RhinoLink You map each input to an action, set how long a signal has to be present before it counts, and set which action wins when two arrive at once. The rules are stored on the board. What it drives Your RGB system 5 independent zones — rock lights, whips, halos, pod RGB rings and RGB strip, assigned to whatever you have mounted. What it switches Accessories 8 outputs, each designed to trigger an external relay — so the same event that changes your lighting can also turn something on. Alongside all of it: the RhinoLED iOS app — control, configuration, shortcuts, themes and a live HUD that the board pushes trigger state to as it happens. One signal. Multiple actions. A commodity controller treats an input as a switch: one wire, one thing. RhinoLink treats it as an event you get to describe. Wire the reverse signal once, then decide — zone by zone, output by output — what backing up looks like on your machine. Selected zones change to white, while the zones you did not pick carry on as they were. Rear zones light the ground behind you. Pod RGB rings change with them, because the ring is a zone like any other. An output fires, and that output switches an external relay for backup pods or a work light. When reverse ends, the interrupted zones go back to work — pattern, colors, brightness and speed return, and if another zone is still running the same animated pattern the returning zone re-joins that animation as it is running. Interrupt a zone; don’t break the whole show. The same trigger can do both at once. One input — or one button in the app — can change what your RGB zones are doing and fire relay outputs in the same instant. A trigger can also be set to fire outputs only, with no lighting change at all. RhinoLink controls auxiliary and accent lighting. It is not a replacement for required factory vehicle lighting. Lighting regulations vary — check local requirements before public-road use. What does RhinoLink work with? It runs the Rhino RGB system Diamond RGB rock lights Rhino 2.0 whips — 1\" RGB Rhino 2.5 Fattie whips — 1.3\" RGB Rhino RGB halos RGB strip Rhino Pod RGB rings What runs on the RGB+W system instead Axion RGB+W rock lights Rhino 3.0 RGB+W whips RhinoLink runs the Rhino RGB system. Axion and Rhino 3.0 are RGB+W — a separate architecture with its own controller, and the two do not sync. About pods: the pod’s RGB ring joins the RGB system and can be assigned to a zone like any other Rhino RGB product. The pod’s high-output main beam is not an addressable zone — it can be switched through an appropriately wired external relay off a RhinoLink output. Feature Highlights All-new RhinoLink controller — purpose-built by us. A Bluetooth Low Energy control board running on a Nordic nRF52832 ARM Cortex-M4 processor. We draw the board and write the firmware. 5 independent RGB zones. Name them after what is actually bolted to the vehicle — Left Whip, Right Whip, Rock Lights, Pod Rings, Halos — and each one behaves independently of the rest. 90 animation patterns, including 11 sound-reactive modes. The microphone is on the controller, so the audio that drives the sound-reactive modes is picked up and processed at the board rather than streamed from your phone. 21 automotive patterns. A separate set built for the signals rather than the show: 8 brake, 10 turn and 3 reverse. You pick which one a given action uses on your vehicle. 12 opto-isolated 12V automotive inputs. Wire brake, turn, reverse, door and switch-panel triggers directly, with debounce configurable from 0 to 1000 ms per input. 8 relay-trigger outputs. Work lights, pod beams, backup lights, light bars, fans, compressor control. Solid, Pulse or Strobe, at a rate you set anywhere from 0.5 Hz to 10 Hz. The outputs trigger relay coils; they do not directly power high-current accessories. Customizable HUD control in the RhinoLED app. Instant-tap control for brake, turn, reverse, hazard, strobe, Patriot, SOS and Street Only — and the board pushes physical trigger state back to the HUD as it happens, with no polling. Priority you control. Every action carries a priority from 5 to 150, each starting at a floor — reverse highest, then turn and hazard, then brake. Raise an action above its floor to suit how you drive. Deep customization tools. 54 Quick Themes, a pattern builder, DIY color slots and the My Palette generator — every pattern draws from the colors you set. No WiFi, no cloud, no subscription. Trigger mappings, automotive variant selections, output settings and your startup configuration are stored on the controller, so the vehicle-triggered half of the system does not wait for a phone to initiate it. What do I get? The RhinoLink controller board, and the RhinoLED app for iPhone — iOS 15.0 or later, free download. The controller, the firmware and the app are engineered together, in one building, by the people who support them.
