Hey Everyone,
This is my first post on the forum and I will try to keep it as straight forward as possible.
I am considering a hobby project that would involve wiring many (100-200) LEDs into a Monopoly board. I want to have a single power supply if possible but am open to advice on what would be best to run the whole project.
All of the LEDs will need to be switch activated, 110 of them will have x1 switch per LED (1:1) and will need to be switched independently from all other LEDs. Then there are small sets of 3 LEDs grouped together that will also need to be switched independently (3:1), these x3 LED strings will be grouped into x28 individually controlled sets.
summary:
110 individually controlled LEDs (ON/OFF - not dimmed)
84 bulbs as individually controlled clusters of x3, 28 clusters (ON/OFF)
I have not decided what rating LEDs to use, i will select whichever makes the most sense for the whole project and I assume I will be using resistors etc. I have a rough understanding of the formula to use but not with any degree of confidence for a project involving so many lights.
I am after any advice or warnings that an expert eye might immediately spot from the description above.
Please feel free to contact me for any further detail as I am sure i have not been specific enough.
Thank You !
