Hello,
I'm a newbie at this site but I did at one time dabble around with electronic gadgets off and on many years ago. Especially when I got a Radio Shack electronics lab for Christmas when I was in my early teen. Anybody remember these kits?
Anyway, my interest in electronic projects have been ignited again. I've been asked by an interested party if I could scratch build him a set of Star Trek phaser rifles from the last few movies. Namely, First Contact, Insurrection and Nemesis. The rifles have a 10 LED bar graph on them and I would like to install this effect into the ones I am building right now. They all appear to have a chaser circuit for the bar graph which I have found the schematics for on this site but I would also like to install a circuit that would also allow the user to individually light each LED bar, whether but pushing a SET button 10 times or by holding the SET button down until all LEDs are lit. There would also have to be a FIRE button to have the LEDs go blank or back down to blank. I know that I am asking alot but any input would be very helpful.
Thanks,
