A little background... here are my first two Halloween projects:
Now my third one... In this project I want to control a ton of LEDs and output sound. Sound I have covered, from the Scary Porch project. However, the LEDs are the nightmare.
I am currently using shift registers to address all the LEDs in the group, working on controlling 100 LEDs right now. A shift register take 1 output and turns it into 8. It's working, but this seems like a brute force way to attack the issue.
Here is a test:
It is not going as seemless as I wanted. Does anyone here have some suggestions on how to control hundreds of LEDs?
