I need instructions on how to get started with led's and making beautiful effects using alot of leds that change color rapidly. I want this information because a friend of mine is going to start with making big advertisement signs and i want to surprise him by making some very cool led light that is controllable by programming them to do stuff. I'm not 100% new to this I have studied Information Technology and had some lessons on Embedded systems and c programming etc. I want to try to create a setup in which i can program a chip to make led's flash / color up and kinda go from blue to red to green with nice motions etc. Could someone please give me instructions on what kind of controller i need, how do i attach this to my computer and what kind of software i do need to put my stuff on the chip that controls the lights etc. Also i would love to have some information on how to make sure i create a nice circuit, or like how to create a sequence of leds etc. I know this is very general information for you, but as I said i'm kinda new to this business and really am up to try things out in this stage. Also i don't want to start with just 16 leds i want to try to go big straight out. (100 leds or something).
I have been browsing around some on the internet looking for manufacturers and places where i could try getting some products to start with this. This ended up with no luck.
THX!
