Hi, I'm looking to build a sequential tail light. I need to sense the existing flasher, and instantaneously start a series of three light strings consisting of three 2v,25ma led's each. what be be the best PIC to use and how simple would the circuit be. Can the PIC's take 13.6 v input? can they accomplish this without many external parts? I've built this circuit with discrete parts, but want a smaller foot print and more control of the timing. I am also looking at building one that will sense the flasher voltage and out put a flasher voltage for a period longer than the input flash rate. I do have some programming knowledge. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
