FOR ITS EYES I WANT TO HAVE A SPIRAL OF PURPLE LED'S WHICH ARE ON A CHASER CIRCUIT AND A CENTRAL SET OF LED'S WHICH ARE PERMANENTLY ON.
I'M AWARE THERE ARE MANY ROUTES I COULD TAKE IN CONTROLLING THE LED'S I JUST NEED TO NARROW DOWN MY OPTIONS SO I CAN RESEARCH THE RIGHT THING AND GET IT DONE IN TIME.
