Ok so what i am trying to do is the following... I am a total noob so please bare with me... I have purchased a 12v led strip that I am wanting to use for my back windshield as signal lights, but I want to put 3 separate strips for each side, that form one solid strip, that blink in sequence and then fade out... kind of like the new mustang... but I want them to blink, fade out, then blink, fade out, then blink and fade out... all in sequence... Then start over again... any help would be greatly appreciated... I have read that a 555 timer is in need? But that's as far as I can understand...
