I'd like to mount a nautical chart on a large wall at home and light all the buoys and lighthouses on the chart so that they display the actual characteristic of the buoys/lighthouses; ie, flash red twice every three seconds or, continuous flashing white, or occulting green, etc, etc... and someone mentioned that this arduino system could be used as the brains of the operation.
My idea was to use LED lights controlled by a microprocessor or, alternatively, use fibre optic cable from a light engine controlled by a microprocessor but I'm not an electronics expert!
In total there are 24 lights, all with different characteristics, on the chart which would be hung on the wall and powered via 230v and a transformer/voltage regulator.
In short, is it feasible to achieve what I'm seeking using the arduino system combined with LED lights or fibre-optic?
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts, opinions and input.
