Im making a wood sculpture which is powered by the mains (uk, which i think is 240v) and requires a motor to move a part of it, and i want a few red LEDs to 'glow' (as in brighter -> dimmer -> brighter etc and so forth) around it lighting up the rotating piece.
The only problem is that i have no knowledge on electronics at all and wondered into a area i am not familiar with. So i have come seeking for your guidance ...
I have found a few components that i figured could be of use and saved...
A few plug adapters that convert mains into 12V (AC and DC), switches and a AC 12v 50/60HZ 1/1.5w motor.
Obviously i can buy more components
But can anyone help a or produce a simple schematic showing how i can wire all these up without blowing myself up or burn my home down, lol.
If it makes it easier, i dont have to go for the glowing affect. Since im guessing that would be going into complicated stuff. Would be good to have though.
Any help would be great! Thank you
