Hi Chaps,
First posting for a model making enthusiast with very basic electronic knowledge. I need to make assorted lighting schemes for replicas I build, flasing nav lights and landing bay sequencing lights that sort of thing.
I have been fascinated to look at some of the articles here, and decided if there ever was a forum to help with this kind of task it wouldn't be anywhere better than here so here I am..!
I am a bit of a fan of the 1970's Gerry Anderson Series UFO and was always fascinated by the flashing light display used to decorate the sets. I want to replicate a display of a grid of lights used in the opening titles and am wondering if this is possible?
I have seen a few circuit designs here that could be adapted I guess but they seemed to use all the available outputs from the driver chip, max I found was 8 LED's.
So, could a simple circuit be drawn that could flash a ring of 16 Led's each in turn and would it be possible to control the rate of cycling and persistence ?
All help would be appreciated.
Bernie
