Hi! I am embarrassed to admit I am 64 years old and have scarcely any electrical/electronic experience, save the time I was standing barefoot on a concrete garage floor while dismantling an operating electric clock and touched a 'hot' terminal.
Nevertheless, LEDs are awesome, and I want to get involved in using them. I want to build a small (6" square) LED sign, using 32 LEDs around the perimeter, that will blink at no specific speed, along with 17 LEDs in the center section that would stay lighted when sign is switched "on". I want it powered by a household-outlet plug-in transformer with battery back-up, with a wireless remote off/on switch. I bought 100 ea. 14000-16000 mcd white LEDs that are 3.2 V forward voltage, 60mW 20mA forward current. This is going to be FUN! regardless of how I get there ......... that being said ............ How much trouble am I in? lol
Thanks in advance for any information you will give me toward finding a solution to my project.
