Ok, slightly panicking here as I've been dumped a task that I have to get done for Friday and I'm a total noobie!!
My challenge is I need to make a unit that has 4 x RGB LED tape runs that will be lit pink, then when a button is pressed each run goes yellow in steps from the outer one to the inner one so going from 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 (see attached diagram) and also a meter needle starts in the center and waivers left and right then when the last LED run is yellow the needle will either go to the left or right.
I have gather some info online to order some components as in Arduino's and RFP30N06LE 30A 60V mosfets, arcade style button and 28byj-48 5v stepper motors and controller boards. Not sure on the resistor values needed either.
So is this achievable with one Arduino and available ports, if not might have to join the LED tape runs 1 & 2 together?
Any help and pointers desperately appreciated on the circuit and coding.!!

Generally people here don't like to see the word "urgent" - it suggests you want to jump the queue. Being a late starter is your problem, not ours.
If this is your first Arduino project then think in terms of some Friday next January. rather than Friday 1 November - seriously.
If this is not your first Ardino project then post the program that represents your best attempt and tell us in detail what it actually does and what you want it to do that is different.
A meter that read "high" -needle right and "low" needle left might be possible if you could hack into something and write it high or low from the Arduino.
Buy a bunch of polyfuses and install them everywhere.
