New member, long time electronics fan...not a complete noob; but...
So I have a rock climbing wall in my house (don't ask...haha), and instead of using tape to mark the "route" I would like to use LEDs embedded in the plywood sheeting. For a smaller scale I might just use switches, but seeing as how the kids have hundreds of holds on the walls, I would like to start with a section of 200 laid out like the old battle ship game, 1-18 and A-K (not exactly 200 but seemed easier than 198). I have seen tons of LED projects, fading, chasing, blinking, etc. but have not quite found a design that utilizes a "controller" (I would like to use a keypad of some sort vs. dragging a laptop to flash code) to light up individual LEDs. I might need 7 or 8 lit up at once with the rest off; or if this is easy to some of you, might we try using RGB LEDs and lighting up a few "routes" with different colors? I have a little experience with coding and audrino/rasberry, plenty of time and budget of a few hundred bucks. can this be done? Much Appreciated! Man, I should have paid more attention in electronics class! Thank you in advance
