I am trying to figure out a breadboard set up and a code for my project. I need to set up 8 LED lights, with an Infrared distance sensor. I need to have it when you enter the space (about four inches away from the Infrared sensor), 4 of the LEDs will light up and then the other 4 will light up 2 seconds later and when the second set of LEDs light up, I want music to go on from headphones attached. I am very lost with arduino and really need help with both my breadboard set up and the code, thank you so much!
Start with a simpler project and work your way up. There are thousands of web pages that show you how to connect an Arduino to a distance sensor, and the Arduino development package comes with examples on lighting LEDs, etc.
