This is long and Im sorry, I have some questions and some of the questions are in the pictures to help make it easier. I hope lol .

I have two different things that I would like to combine together to make into one thing.

The first is a BELL bicycle light that runs on two AAA batteries. It has one button on the back and if you push it once it lights up all 5 leds and they stay on has seen in this video .
**broken link removed**
Then if I hit the button again then they all flash together.

Then if I hit the button again they all go to a slower flash. video

Then hit button again they flash one , two and two . Video

Then if I hit it again they they reverse and flash two, two and one. No need for video on this one.
Then the last one before it turns it off is that it flashes really fast. Video

Know I took it apart to see what was inside and I cant tell anything. The pictures have the quesions in them.

Top off with led lights . The screw at the end goes through the board into what I believe is some sort of flaher or what you guys call a timer.

This next picture is of the leds and my question is where do I find the board this size and what is it called?

So has you can see , Im trying to learn this lol . ANY help is a BIG THANK YOU !!!
 
ok someone told me that it is a micro processor that is controlling this this thing .

What type of micro processors are their to do this?

Thanks
 
Possibly.

This sort of circuit typically used an application specific IC. It is typically just a silicone die wired to the PCB and covered with a blob of resin. The chances are you can't buy it in shops.
 
The A23 battery is 12V? You would normally use 3V for red LEDs.

What type of micro processors are their to do this?
Almost any current microprocessor. Microchip makes a PIC10F series which has 6 pins, and Atmel makes ATtiny11. Either is probably perfect for this task.

Whats the second thing? Are you wanting to make a larger light with the same patterns?

I can't really tell you much about the tubing. Is it plastic or glass? Looks like somthing you might see at a surplus store. I can't think of anything off hand like it that is commonly avalible.

The board i'm sure is custom made for whatever you took it out of. You could use project board though.

Whats the end goal of all this?
