Alright, I am trying to make a 4 state relay/controller that will cycle through the 4 stages on the change of the input state. Hopefully that makes sense. Basically I only have 1 input to control the brightness, and I need 4 different levels. Off-Low-Medium-High. The input only toggles between on and off, its an IR signal that goes from low to high and remains in that state until the signal is received again. I already have the IR controller done, but I need to figure out how I can make the circuit so it will cycle between the states each time the input trigger changes. I know this should be simple, but its been to many years since I took an electronics class.
The circuit will be driving 4 250mA LED's. Ideally, the circuit will just be opening the relay to allow for the correct voltage to flow to the LEDs. So, basically I have 3 relays that each have a different voltage going to them and I just need to cycle between the 3 and the Off state.

I may be overlooking something in the driver that would allow for this, I have a similar product that uses this driver for the same application, but I do not have a way to control it in my application.
Please let me know your thoughts and or suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
