Automatic DLR with chasing lights

For some time I wanted to put LED DRL (Day Running Lights) on my car.

Simple, with an Arduino we test the battery voltage and decide to go ON or OFF because the lead-acid car battery goes under 12.8 V when the engine is stopped and above 13.4 when the engine is running!

Here is the code:
