Hello everyone,
I want to make a LED Project and am in need of some help.
The Basic idea I have is to Write a name using LEDS and with the use of a 4 position switch to alter the effects.
The way I figure it, I should be using about 100-150 leds in series for the 1st effect so that each LED will light up one after the other until the whole string is lit up.
The Next effect I wanted was for it to fade in and fade out the whole string.
And the last effect would be a chaser sequence giving the string a flowing effect from left to right.
(Position 4 would be an on/off switch)
I am a novice when it comes to circuitry but a quick learner
From what I know about LEDs, if I put that many in a series I will need about 350-400V (considering the LEDs are white in color)
I also read Bill Marsden's post about LED tech and wanted to ask about figure 11.4, What effect is that chain of 100 LEDs giving as an output?
Any info and help on setting this up would be much appreciated as I am planning on giving this as a gift to a friend
