Hi!
This is my first post on electro tech, and I can't believe what an awesome resource forum this is for electronics !
I'm currently doing my second year in electrical engineering and In my spare time I've started taking up doing electrical circuits and soldering.
I want to start a project but I'm not quite sure how to go about it, and i hope some of the more experienced members of this forum can help me out !
What I am trying to do (for now) is to have a motor spin a gear, and depending on where it stops, light up an LED for that particular segment, as well as a seperate one.
I guess the best way to describe it would be a kind of " game show" spinning prize wheel, where the wheel is controlled by the user, and when it "lands" on a cash amount, the panel will light up, and another panel with the same icon. This is then repeated a few times, but the previous LED's still need to be lit up.
I know it sounds a bit confusing, but any help would be appreciated. I'm a bit new to soldering and all the technical jargon, so a simple method would be easiest for me so long as it performs as required. I'm only focusing on using DC (batteries 9v or less) as I don't want to electrocute myself just yet
If you've taken the time to read my post Thank you and thanks for any help you can give me !
