Hey guys this is my first electronics project so I'm trying to figure out the best way to make this work. I'm taking a nerf gun and making a steampunk gun that lights up. I want the lights to change colors and to slowly pulse.
My biggest questions are which controller to use that can run on a battery and is small, and how to make the tubes in the cylinder and on the body of the gun light up, but still have a moving cylinder in the gun and which button/selector I should use so that I can cycle through the colors.
The last question is this: I have individual rgb LEDs and in all my digging online I can't find an answer to how/whether you can connect these in series.
I can post pictures of the gun or parts I already have if that would help.
