Hello, Let me start off by saying that I am new here, and new to the electronics world. (bet you have never heard that before on here, lol)
I want to make an arrow board, like you see on the back of a street dept. truck, or a police car. Basically a bunch of amber LEDS wired in blocks that will light up one at a time from left to right, or right to left, and then stay lit until the last one lights, then reset and start over. From reading on here for the past few months, I'm guessing a micro controller would be ideal?, but at this point in time that is way over my head. Has anyone seen a layout for anything simalier to this? Does it sound impossibly complicated for a novice?
I want to put this on the back of a roadgrader, but mostly want to make it for the learning. Any input would be awsome!
Andy
