Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to electronics and the most complicated circuit I've ever built is a 555 blinking LED; I can build things successfully, but I'm not very knowledgeable and things usually only come out nicely if I am instructed on what goes where =P. My school team is trying to make a sign for an event and we wanted to make a light-up, animated shooting star. I was wondering how this could be done, if at all, with LEDs. I did find a circuit that may work but I want something that would light up one LED and then the next but leave all of them on until the sequence was complete. So, one lights up and then the next and the next and then like a big circle of LEDs at the end and stay lit for a few seconds and then start again. Does anyone have advice?
Thank you, Nick.
PS here is the circuit I found: MetkuMods - Because you love your hardware!
