Hello there,
I'm currently trying to get a massive greatsword to light up using an LED array that goes up the blade controlled by a hold button. This isn't my first lighting project, but it is my most ambitious so far. I'm in the pre-prototype phase right now. I'm still trying to work things out on Tinkercad.
I've successfully gotten the vision I wanted in terms of a slow fade-out upon the release of the button. However, I just can't seem to figure out how to get it to fade-IN.
I know I should be using a capacitor in some capacity (ha) and transistors too, but no matter where I put them in the circuit it seems to break the array.
I would be ever so grateful for some assistance. I've tried getting some tutorials, but they all use breadboards or are explained in a very confusing way. Tips, pointers, and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Clear pictures would be extremely helpful.
Thank you in advance
