Anyone know how to use the arduino to produce a nice 'chase' sequence through about 16 LED's?
Ideally I would like a group of 4 LED's to be lit at any one time that look as if they chase along the length of teh LED strip.
Even better than that would be if I could fade the group from the front to the back so it looks as if the sequence has a bright end and a 'tail'.
I am guessing I need to use a shift register but haven't got any further than that.
Any help greatly appreciated.
If you look in the playground:-

You will see links to this sort of project.
Basically, for just on / off use a shift register.
For fading 16 LEDs use a TLC5940 (again see playground)
