Hi Guys.
I am currently working on a lighting project and I am in need of assistance.
I am trying to build an RGB Lighting Unit to be used for color-washing a section of wall.
http://cachepe.samedaymusic.com/media/quality,85/brand,sameday/LED-TechnoStrobeRGB-Fixture-3bbf42df223e52007792ca40365a224b.jpg - This is along the lines of what I want to build, just a bit smaller.
I am hoping to include 33 LED's(11 of each color) in groups of 3, each group spaced about 4.5cm apart.
The LED's are 5mm high brightness LED's from Rapid Electronics
LED 5MM RED 20000MCD (RC) 55-2476 £0.18 x 11 = £1.80
LED 5MM GREEN 30000MCD (RC) 55-2480 £0.26 x 11 = £2.60
LED 5MM BLUE 12000MCD (RC) 55-2482 £0.26 x 11 = £2.60
_______
GRAND TOTAL(for LED's): £7.00
_______
My current budget for this project is around £15.
I was wondering if it would be possible to use PWM to control these LEDS by connecting all the leds of the same colour together. I am planning on using an 08M to control the LEDs, using pins 0,1 and 2 to as seperate PWM "channels" to control each LED color, 0 for red, 1 for green and 2 for blue.I am also planning on using pin 4 as an input for serial data from a computer or another PICAXE to set the colour data.Any feedback, suggestions or comments will be much appriciated.
Thanks
Alex
