I need help designing a Led sequencer for my shop. The main entrance is on the side of the building and i don't want to put up a boring arrow, i want to make a sequential sign with a moving arrow directing them to the entrance. Something that looks really nice and professional but still accomplishes the goal in a eye catching way.
Forgive me if my terms and vocab are off a bit.
I want it to be a staggered effect which i will try to explain as best as possible. I figure it will be 6 or 8 sections (zones)
I want them to come on and off like this if possible
> = on
. = off
>.......
>>......
>>>.....
.>>>....
..>>>...
...>>>..
....>>>.
.....>>>
or this
>_______ >.......
>>______ >>......
_>>_____ .>>.....
__>>____ ..>>....
___>>___ ...>>...
____>>__ ....>>..
_____>>_ .....>>.
______>> ......>>
and repeat that sequence over and over
(if that makes any sense to you all)
the window is right next to the dividing wall for the install bay where the power inverter sits for bench testing so it would probably be easiest if it was run on 12v so i could just hook it up to the power supply.
I want it to run through the cycle fairly fast if possible. Maybe 1 second.... or better yet if it could be adjustable that would be great.
Please help me out. Personally,I have tons of experience with fiberglass and wood fabrication but never with creating electronics like this aside from basic soldering skills.
similar to this but i need it to be capable of lighting about 10-15 led's on each channel and with the trailing effect
