Ok, I am a complete novice at electronics. If you roll your $100,000 Mercedes I'll take it apart and rebuild it with complete confidence, but I need instructions to solder two little wires together.
This may have been done but I can't find it. For Leaping Arches. I want stand alone micro chip controlers that can be fired for them. Somewhere between 25 and 40 LED or Mini lights that fire 1 - 40 in about a second. The sequence should be able to be triggered by Vixen through a controler. I know this can be done in Vixen but 4 arches at 40 channels each that is a lot of channels. The sequence can be programed into the chip and you can trigger them 1 - 2 - 3 -4 or 4- 3 -2 -1 or any other sequence you want. This would only consume channels in Vixen as you add arches. My guess would be some little 5v or 12v power supply and some way to program them. Oh yeah, as long as I'm wishing being able to trigger them forward or backward would be a good idea. Now we just used up 8 channells. Anybody know what I can use to do this or might design it?
(PS I am very good at following directions but most of the big words you guys use here go right over my head. I'm just a body mechanic turned insurance adjuster so please use little words)
