I have nearly ZERO programming skills but am curious as to what it might take to create the effect I am looking for.
The project is for some art that I have yet to produce but will simulate the hours of a clock or, in this case, the direction of the sun. An example would be:
with a string of 60 LEDs, (possible even 120 LEDs, but we'll stick to 60 for the example) I would like to have10-15 of them Lit at any one time. As time steps forward, the trailing edge LED turns off as the leading Edge LED adds another lit LED. This should pretty closely follow a 12hr rotation so that the process repeats every 12 hours. Given this, there will be a time where there will be some LEDs lit at the beginning of the String and some lit at the end of the same string of LEDs. Given that the art may be 2ft x 2ft. many more LEDs may be required....depends on the LED spacing I would guess.
I would be willing to pay for programmed chips that could accomplish this.
Thanks
Brian
