I am VERY new with electronics, so please forgive me if this seems trivial or I am using the wrong descriptions for components.
I need something that will take an input from USB, then complete a stand alone circuit.
To make this seem a little easier to explain, how would I control 32 12v LED's from one USB. Using a software I can write to tell the controller what LED to trigger at what time?
I would like the option to choose what voltage I am sending between 1.5v - 12v, I don't know if this is possible using only a USB device, but external power can be solved at a later date. Possibly using relays to trigger the higher 12v. If I am not mistaken USB is powered by 5v?
Any help that could be offered here would be amazing. The only other interface I know that can do this is a PLC that sells for $300+.
