[Ovmsdev] Brake light control (was Re: Prototyping expansion board)

Am I correct?
I connect a simple relay to DA26 expansion pin8(GND) and pin18(Switched
12V), and relay another end to the brake switch. And if the battery power
is negative (recuperating), i power on the switched 12V with the following
code:

      MyPeripherals->m_max7317->Output(MAX7317_SW_CTL, 1);
