Hello,
Beginning a project where i wish to create a simple display of leds. I am going to have a ring of led's which are initially going to be all off. Then i wish to make it so they all light up, one at a time until all lit, then all go off one at a time, and keep repeating this process. I read in another forum that someone suggested a microcontroller. I have been using them in my lab classes, and am aware of how to program them in assembly, as well as C. My question is, i do not know how to select one. My last question is, once it is programmed, it is going to need a constant voltage source to retain the program, correct? so how do i go about programming one chip without loosing the program, until i get it into place?
Thank you
