Heya,
As always, I'm looking to invent and install even more funky electronic aesthetic enhancements into my projects.
I'm looking primarily at LED circuits, but also considering a small screen (perhaps even a touch interface). Ideally, I'd be looking at a screen that will either display a preset sequence of movies/animations from initial power-on and/or will run a system information display program like AIDA64 or similar.
I've browsed several starter guides, but found little beyond the basic how to turn the PCB LED on and off - I wonder if someone here could answer the following:
1/. Is this something I could achieve with a Arduino/Adafruit/Whatever and, if so, which ones are best for complete electronics noobs?
2/. Do I program the Arduino PLC chip-thing and then transfer that to a PCB, or do I have to keep the Arduino permanently connected?
3/. Can the Arduino run a screen and several other circuits at the same time, or do I need a new Arduino for each separate circuit?
Thanks,
Tasky.
