Hi everyone, I have stumbled across this site this morning and it seems awesome from what I’ve looked at so far. But while watching two toddlers I haven’t had time to dive into the forums to search out my problem yet. Ok let’s start this off by saying I am an electrician, but am new to this sort of thing. I did have DC Theory when I was a first year apprentice but not used much of that in the last 12 years. My brother lives states away and said he’s help, but is currently wrapped up in a project of his own. With all that explained on with the project (anyone who hasn’t left yet due to boredom).
The project- a set of Cornhole boards the each display one teams score. I’ll try to include the rough drawing I’ve made. But just two 7 line displays on each board. With a score up, score down, and reset button. 00-99. The post I’ve seen show people just buying displays but I’m wanting to build them out of LEDs. Around the outside and around the hole I’ve thought about just putting in fairy lights but am open to any and all suggestions.
Now I have no idea where to even start, so you’re dealing with a guy who can most likely understand what you’re saying, but has never had to deal with circuits like this, so has no idea what to do.
One last thing, I think I’d like to be able to dim the score as well, so it’s seeable in the day and not over powering/blinding at night. And the outside the board and hole light only need to be turned on at night as well. Annnnd lit push buttons for up/down/reset. Think that’s it.
Any help/suggestions appreciated
