Hi,
I am very new to the electronics field and am working on a project. I have been surfing the internet for almost three weeks trying to figure this out and have spent over $200 at radio shack on parts and components that are not getting me what I want. (I am sure you are all rolling your eyes at the mention of radio shack but that is right now the only place I can think of to get electrical components). I keep finding my way back to this forum in my search so you all must know what your talking about.
I am needing to wire a set of 10 LED's so that when I hit a switch one light turns on, then when I hit the switch again the second as well as the first light come on, and so on and so forth until all 10 LED's are lit. I also need there to be a second switch that will allow me to shut off the LED's in reverse order when that switch is hit. So in short I would like to push a button and make LED's light up in sequence and be able to shut them off with the push of a different button.
If this is too much non-tech talk I am sorry but I didn't want to appear like I was trying to talk about something like I knew what I was doing when I obviously don't. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I thank you all for any help you can give.
