Turning LEDs on and off in sequence - a longer movie
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008This movie is about an 18MB file. I suppose it depends on the speed of your connection how long it will take to load, but for me it takes about 2 minutes. The actual length of the movie is under a minute.
It shows a PICBasic program which turns LEDs on and off in sequence running on a programmable PIC chip. The sequence of the lights is the same as I will use for my final installation, although the time period the lights are on is only 1 second in this instance. Each of the lights represents an LED tag which will come on long enough to scroll a message across it.
You can see that one LED tag has been connected to where the first diode should be. It reads “Message” but as it’s on for one second, you only get to see the first couple of letters scroll across it.
I would like to offer sincere thanks to Dave Russ, without whose help this project would not have been possible.
