Grumpy_Mike:
Why are you reluctant to say how you have wired things up? What value resistors are you using?
Is it because you are hiding something you don't want people to know?
well I do want alot of leds for my display like I stated in the first post but Im also trying to hack this big santa display. I think Im moving too fast, so I just want to get the code down and functioning on a single 3mm led. But these 3mm will be replaced with high powered leds(not there yet though) Then I'll figure out how to expand the circuit from that with more leds with either transistors or shift registers and possibly BT. I found a tutorial on Adafruit similiar to what Im looking to do: RGB LED strip tutorial but the strips would be replaced with a high powered led. Im using 100 ohm resistors right now. How can I draw out my circuit with the arduino and breadboard like in the tutorial?
