Hi, i have experimented, and made some led experiments but i am in need of something that i can not manage to do. I have 4 LED pods, 2 red, and 2 blue, each made of 44 LED's which will be powered by 4 transistors. I need a program that will enable me to run threw multiple different flash/strobe/chase/wigwag patterns and adjust the speed using a pot. I have made some simple 2 pattern codes but i am at a loss. I would like as many patterns as possible, or in the area of 10-20. If someone could point me in the right direction, or if someone has the time to write a code for me i will gladly reimburse you via paypal, something we can discuss in PM. Btw the stamp is a basic stamp 2 homework board. thank you!


Andrew.

    Take a look at mulitplexing.

    The Stamp can only do one thing at a time,But it can do it pretty fast.Way faster than our eyes can keep up.

    Experiment #31 in the Stamp Works maunal shows and explains how multiplexing works.

    Thanks, that deffinately helped but still i currently dont have the time/patience right now to figure it out and write the code. If someone is willing to write the code for me i would be willing to send them some money for there time and effort.

    No money need change hands. This forum is all about encouraging, educating & discovering. Very smart & helpful folks here. If you shared your code so far and asked for some very specific help, you would probably get lots of free help from people. You have nothing to lose...!
