I want to put together a shift register that will light up LEDs sequentially for specified inputs.
Now i don't know what the input means i will use (i have seen some basic LCD's for arduino at radio shack i am open to suggestions as regards this aspect).
so basically it will work this way:
if i enter a specified number say 5, it will lights up 5 leds, if i specify 2 it will light up 2 leds. simple
how do i go about this?
i just purchased the arduino uno. i dont know if this is enough to do that. and what will be the possible code for such action.
Thank you.
