I'm looking to create a very simple project as follows:
Using a VB NET project I want to switch on/off some leds.
I want the possibility of red, green or none.
What part of this are you having issues with?
Needs to be visible 5m across a normal office space.
Should have 360 degree visibility
This is a matter of proper LED selection and positioning.
I have a UNO board here but have no idea how to progress.. I don't really want to have to learn a lot
That attitude is not going to get you very far.
