I'm trying to assemble a circuit that will switch between 3 LEDs depending on input voltage. Electronic knowledge is very-very basic, but I'm working on it. I want 3rd LED to blink when circuit switches to it. Looks like I can accomplish with 555 timer.

So... Let's say input voltage is 0-9v
0-4v - nothing
4-6v - 1st LED
6-8v - 2nd LED
8-9v - 3rd LED blinking.

I'd like to be able to adjust points where each LED lights up (couple pots?). I want them to switch without overlap.

Is there some kind of voltage sensing relay or something like that?... Please, point in the right direction. Thank you.

Used to indicate if an aircraft alternator is charging. Voltage trip points can be seen in the plot. They can be altered quite easily.

A way to do it is with a chip LM3914 in dot mode and a blinking LED for LED3; many pins of the IC will be unused and is adjustable. It is capable to drive a row of up to 10 leds by itself.
