Hi everyone.
I'm the new kid on the block here and would like some help please.
I've never designed a ckt bd before and have a need for something
like the LED light chasers you can find as kits but with a twist.
(Also I'd just rather try to build it myself, vs buy a kit, for fun.)
I'm looking for a plan to build a low voltage board that allows you
to run a sequence of (8-16) delay or fade LEDs from on to off.
The device should allow you to set the time interval from one LED to
the next and is to be activated by a dry contact switch closure.
Also, the LEDs will not be on the board, they will be attached to wires
so I could make like a run-way type effect directing people along the floor.
Basically:
Activation (turn on),
L1 fades on (adjustable time for fade on) then
L2 fades on (adjustable time for fade on is same for L1) then
L1 fades off (adjustable time for fade off is same for L1 fade on)
when L1 is off L3 fades on...
when the last LED fades off the device stops until re-activated.
I would like to buy one of those pre-hole punched boards from Radio
Shack and just be able to solder the wires together with jumper wire
on the back. The device should run off a battery or wall-wart
If this can be done by an novice any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!
