Hello to all,
I am currently re-building a Star Trek type 2 phaser, if that means anything to anyone. I would like to know how to create a circuit that does the following: There are 16 LEDs in two rows of 8. I would like to cycle through them one after another with 2 button switches. ie press a button on the left and the first LED comes on. Press it again and the next LED comes on. Press it a third time and the third LED comes on. and so on. At his point there should be 3 LEDs on. Then, press the right button and that third LED goes off. Press again and the second goes off and so on. I was thinking of using a picaxe 20x2 but this is my first venture into picaxe.
Hope this isn't to long winded. Below is the link to a vid of what I am trying, not very well, to describe.

I would be grateful if anyone could help me out on this.
