Hi guys, just wondering if you could help me with selecting a micro-controller for making a circuit to pulse a short string of LED's.
The aim of my project is to get the LED's to constantly (slowly and dully) pules and have the ability to edit the pule times and the brightness (programming?). The other main goal is to have it flash when a momentary clash sensor/switch is contacted and stay on while the switch is closed.
I'm hoping it will turn out sorta like this except with only 1 color.
Any of the arduino boards can do this. You control the brightness by using the PWM output of a pin using analogWrite();
There is lots of information here:-
Cool, so if i get one of these it should be able to do everything i want?
I am still reading through the tutorials and other posts to learn how to use these controllers.

Well it won't allow you to have sex with Lady Ga-ga, or other such desires but along with a few transistors you can drive as many LEDs as you can fit into a saber.
Hi again, just wondering if I could have your email. Will save me from posting more silly questions on here.
just have a few questions about transistor and other things. thanks Jesse
