This is my first official post! Greetings!
Okay, so I'm under a noob. I used to have a friend who was great at programming MCs, but as he is no longer with us, I'm forced to look elsewhere for assitance. Basically I need to make 3 LED Chasers-- one with 5, one with 7, and one with 11 LEDs respectively, with speed and sequence both changed by a momentary switch. I've got a bunch of parts and tools, including wires and LEDs, all I really need is the programmed MC.
I am in Japan now (close to Akihabara), so any extra parts that are needed will not be a problem.
It's not the cost of the parts that would be troublesome, it's the price of the programmer that makes my eyes bulge. With that said, I was told there are people on here that enjoy doing these things for relatively cheap, practice, fun, or because they're just so gosh-darned nice. If anyone fits into those catagories, I'd appreciate any or all help.
Thanks in advance!
